In a process to prepare a culinary dish e.g. a pizza or potato gratinate base (80) with a topping (52) , the topping mass (52) is first spread out to the required thickness and dimensions on a suitable surface and deep frozen. Prior to serving, the frozen topping mass (52) is positioned on the base (80) and heated to a temperature at which the molten topping intermingles with the base (80) surface. In a process to make pizza on an industrial scale a sauce is prepared at a relatively high temperature and further solid non temperature-sensitive ingredients such as meat and vegetable are introduced and cooked as required at that temperature. The sauce is then allowed to cool and further temperature-sensitive ingredients such as cheese are introduced. The sauce and admixed contents are then dosed into suitable forms and allowed to take on a flat shape prior to freezing. The frozen topping layers are packed into cartons and a thermally-insulated container for frozen storage or dispatch in delivery vehicles with temperature-controlled interior. |
