Process for heat-treating loose (bulk) foodstuffs, especially for cooking vegetables (4), in which the products (4) are heated to a temperature T1 in an environment under a pressure P1 greater than atmospheric pressure P0. According to the invention, at least the said products (4) are cooled at a pressure P1 down to a temperature T2 below the boiling point T0 at atmospheric pressure P0. A further subject of the invention is an apparatus for implementing the process. Applicable to the field of heat-treating foodstuffs and especially for cooking and/or blanching vegetables. <IMAGE> |
