Material processing system

A method for making treats for consumption by animals, said method comprising:

• preparing a batter of dry and wet ingredients;
• inserting said batter into one or more containers, each of said one or more containers comprising a silicone material and being positioned on an electrically conducting tray;
• conveying said containers with said batter on one or more conveyors to an oven configured to bake said batter with electrical resistance, said electrical resistance being supplied by one or more electrodes inserted into said batter and connecting a voltage of one polarity thereto, and electrodes connecting voltage of an opposite polarity to said electrically conducting trays;
• baking, with said electrical resistance, said batter to make said treats;
• and
• conveying said containers with said treats on one or more conveyors from said oven.

A method for making cupcakes or cakes, comprising:

• mixing dry and wet ingredients into a batter;
• inserting said batter into a container, said container being positioned on an electrically conducting tray;
• placing said container with said batter into an oven;
• connecting, within said oven, a voltage of one polarity to said batter and a voltage of an opposite polarity to said tray;
• and
• baking, with an electrical resistance due to said voltage of one polarity and said voltage of another polarity, said batter into said cakes or cupcakes.

A method of baking, comprising:

• connecting a voltage of one polarity to a batter placed into an electrically non-conducting container with electrodes that are inserted onto said batter;
• connecting a voltage of an opposite polarity to an electrically conducting tray that said electrically non-conducting container being disposed thereon;
• and
• baking said batter with an electrical resistance due to said voltage of one polarity and said voltage of another polarity.
