PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a technical means simple in structure, not requiring time and labor in cleaning, maintenance and check, capable of reducing occurrence of defectives as much as possible in a method for stuffing a filling such as rice cake, tofu refuse and vegetable into a food forming a soft pastry such as fried bean curd and in an apparatus therefor. SOLUTION: An air needle 51 connected to a pressurized air source is installed in the vicinity of a packing nozzle 52 for thrusting into and stuffing a filling into a pastry of a food to be produced so as to project the tip of the air needle from that of the pacing nozzle in the thrusting direction. When the packing nozzle 52 is thrust into the pastry, the air needle 51 is simultaneously thrust into the pastry and the thrust is swollen by pressurized air from the air needle to stuff the filling into the pastry. Air is introduced from the air needle 51 thrust into the tip of the pastry, the pastry is swollen to separate side walls mutually so as to reduce the danger of the packing nozzle 52 breaking through the side walls of fried bean curd. When the packing nozzle 52 is thrust into the pastry, air can be leaked from the circumference of the thick packing nozzle. |
