Comminuted meat pieces (20) are steamed on an in-line conveyor (2). After steaming the meat pieces are mixed (11) prior to first stage thermal zone heating (8). The meat pieces are further mixed (12) prior to second stage thermal zone heating (9). The mixing means comprises a shaft (25) extending transversely across the conveyor (2) above the bed of meat pieces and four turning arms (30) extending radially of the shaft (25). The arms (30) are engaged by the meat pieces and, on turning, the meat pieces are mixed in-line. Cooking quality is assured with optimum operating conditions. An in-line scanner (40) monitors the temperature of the meat pieces across the conveyor. A control system adjusts the operating conditions accordingly. <Fig. 2> |
