Steam cooker for extruded food, particularly surimi, is compact with efficient use of energy

摘要

A foodstuff (5) is extruded (11) onto the surface of a conveyor (3) contained in a steam filled chamber (1). The conveyor may be cylindrical (as shown) or other shapes with a larger or smaller area protruding from the chamber. This is the area (7) where cooked food (5') is removed (23) and fresh material added.
