Method of preparing a frozen, battered food product

摘要

The process starts with the pre-dusting of the food product to be batter-coated, followed by the application to said dusted food of a prepared batter, the composition of which batter comprises a cellulose derivative that coagulates in a hot water bath or in the presence of water vapour. The process continues with the heating of the coagulated, batter-coated food using a traditional, microwave or infrared oven, so that the coagulated batter coating layer does not melt on cooling, and concludes with the cooling and freezing of the above product. The object of the invention is to eliminate pre-frying, which is the most problematic stage of the classic batter coating processes.
