<p>A plate (50) for use on an outlet end of a food grinder comprises a generally cylindrical disk-like body portion having an axis, first and second generally parallel spaced principal surfaces extending generally perpendicular to the axis, and concentric inner and outer peripheral surfaces. A plurality of generally spaced slot-like openings (72) extend through the body portion from the first principal surface to the second principal surface in an annular area of the body portion. The slot-like openings have a predetermined width and are employed for the discharge of food therethrough when the plate is secured to the outlet of a food grinder. The plate is well suited for use in the preparation of a restructured meat product of substantially uniform consistency and tenderness.</p> |
