An apparatus and method to net shirred tubular casing, in order to create a highly-dimpled foot product. A filling horn (30), shir housing (10), and removable netting tube (20) allow for the extrusion of food products into an edible tubular collagen film (40), which itself expands into a netting (50) of a smaller diameter than that of the film. As the food product under pressure expands against the tubular film (40), it presses through the spaces in the netting (50) to created a dimpled appearance. After the food product has been further processed, the netting (50) is removed, leaving a highly-dimpled appearance. |
