Deboned boxed chicken meat is tempered, deboxed and chopped into pieces having a major dimension of approximately 50 mm. The chicken pieces are mixed with a solution of sodium chloride and water and the mix is transferred into a blender (1). A refrigerant is delivered into the blend through a chilling lance (2) comprising a cylindrical pipe fitted with nozzles (3). The deposition of chilled chicken blend is promoted on a predetermined area of the lance by providing a collar (5) of release material around the lance, except in the region of the nozzles (3). The collar (5) promotes the build up of chilled material away from the nozzles (3) to avoid the nozzles becmong blocked. |
