Meat 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 meat 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 becoming blocked. The chilled meat blend is then formed into pieces of desired shape and size and the pieces are coated, e.g with batter. The coated pieces may be fried and then chilled or frozen. The meat is preferably chicken. |
