PCT No. PCT/IE97/00061 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 1, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 1, 1999 PCT Filed Aug. 22, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/09149 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 5, 1998An apparatus and method for quantifying the stretchability of molten cheese, typically mozzarella cheese, on a pizza pie. The apparatus includes a first platform (1) having clamp (11) of which one part (7) of the pizza base is affixed to the first platform (1). The other part (8) of the pizza base is affixed to a second platform (2) by a clamp (12). The second platform (2) is mounted on a wheeled bogey which is drawn along rails by a winch driven by an electric motor for moving the second platform (2) relative to the first platform (1), at a constant velocity, in a horizontal plane, to draw the two parts (7, 8) of the pizza base apart thereby stretching the mass of cheese into strands (13). Elements are provided for measuring the distance traveled by the second platform (2) at breakage of the cheese strands.
