A system used to program and coordinate the cooking operations for two or
more ovens such that the cooking operations are completed at the same
time, independent of particular setting variations. In accordance with a
preferred embodiment of the invention, a single controller is utilized to
program each of the ovens, with the controller incorporating an auto
sequencing feature which causes the different cooking operations to be
automatically performed, while terminating at the same time. Preferably,
the system enables a second cooking operation to be programmed and
initiated after a first cooking operation, while still providing for the
auto sequencing of the cooking operation. Furthermore, a system is
provided to enable the refrigerating of food items in one or more of the
ovens prior to initiating a respective cooking operation.
