Multi-layered food product and method for forming

A method for forming a plurality of multi-layered food products on an automated assembly line system, said method comprising the steps of:

• a) providing an automated assembly line assembly, said automated assembly line assembly including I) a plurality of bi-molded plate assemblies, II) a drive arrangement to cause said plurality of bi-molded plate assemblies to continuously move through various regions of said automated assembly line assembly, III) an automated food insert feeder arrangement, IV) an automating mating arrangement, V) a preheat heating system, and VI) an oven system;
• said automating mating arrangement are connected together or interconnected together;
• each of said bi-molded plate assemblies comprises a first plate and a second plate, said first plate including a depression configured to at least receive said food insert, said second plate configured to be inserted over said first plate to form a closed cavity that fully encapsulates said food insert when said food insert is positioned in said closed cavity;
• b) continuously moving each of said plurality of bi-molded plate assemblies into said preheat heater system to heat said bi-molded plate assemblies to a predetermined temperature;
• c) causing said automated feeder arrangement to place said food insert into said depression in said first plate of each of said plurality of bi-molded plate assemblies after said bi-molded plate assembly has been heated to said predetermined temperature;
• said food insert comprising a filling and a dough layer, said dough layer encapsulating at least 80% of said filling, a composition of said filling and dough layer is different;
• said dough layer of said food insert is baked 10-100% of full baking of said dough layer prior to being inserted into said depression of said first plate
• d) causing said automating mating arrangement to mate said second plate with said first plate of each of bi-molded plate assemblies while said bi-molded plate assemblies are moved through said automated assembly line assembly so that said food insert in each of said bi-molded plate assemblies is fully encapsulated in said closed cavity, said closed cavity forming a heated and sealed baking cavity for said food insert;
• e) moving said plurality of said bi-molded plate assemblies by said drive arrangement into said oven system;
• f) baking said food insert in said baking cavity of each said bi-molded plate assemblies for a period of time as said bi-molded plate assemblies are moved by drive arrangement through said oven system to form a baked food insert;
• g) moving said plurality of bi-molded plate assemblies by said drive arrangement so as to cause said plurality of bi-molded plate assemblies to be removed from said oven after said period of time;
• h) causing said first and second plates to move away from one another to open said cavity;
• and,
• i) causing said baked food insert in each of said cavities of said plurality of bi-molded plate assemblies to be automatically removed from said cavity.
