Frozen meat such as chicken is initially tempered and diced to form individual chicken pieces, which are then tumbled in a marinade. The slurry, which is pumpable, is first passed through a heat exchanger 1 to substantially equalise the temperature of all the pieces of meat in the slurry. The slurry is then spread across a heated plate 2 through which the steam is circulated to sear the base of the slurry of food products which causes the base to set and coagulate. A mat 4 of seared food products is then delivered onto a transfer conveyor 5. Various pre-cooking operations may be performed on the mat 4, eg. grilling. The mat 4 is then transferred onto a fresh mesh conveyor 10 of a cooker 11, where the mat 4 can be efficiently and throughly cooked as it passes through the cooker 11. After cooking, the mat 4 may be broken up into individual pieces by a vibrator before frozen. |
