Frozen food products, such as fish, poultry and vegetable frozen products, suitable for micro-wave or oven cooking, which when cooked resemble in taste, texture and appearance fat-fried products, are prepared by coating frozen portions of said products with an edible oil containing a moisture absorbing substance such as pregelatinized starch, and then applying to the coated portions finely divided hygroscopic, crisp particulate, such as toasted bakery, cereal or carbohydrate particulate, capable on cooking of giving the appearance of a fat-fried product. The dilatometric profile of the edible oil is critical, and is such that the oil is fluid at room temperature but has a plastic consistency at the temperature of the frozen portions. |
