Method for producing a product containing food in a skin

Method for producing a plurality of products (5.1-5.3), each containing a food in a skin (10), on a string comprising a thread, wherein successive products of the plurality of products (5.1-5.3) are separated from one another by a tie-off region (3) produced between two tie-off points (1, 2), comprising:

• tying a first tie-off point (1) of the two tie-off points adjacent to a formed product of the plurality of products with a thread (4);
• gripping the skin adjacent to the first tie-off point with a displacer (11);
• pulling the formed product and first tie-off point (1) away from the displacer (11) to form the tie-off region (3) having a length (S), wherein the displacer (11) displaces food in the tie-off region (3) upwardly and away from the formed product;
• wrapping the tie-off region with the thread during the pulling to further displace food in the tie-off region upwardly and away from the formed product;
• and
• tying off a second tie-off point of the two tie-off points (2) spaced along the tie-off region (3) by the length (S) from the first tie-off point (1);
• wherein
• winding the thread (4) around the tie-off region (3) multiple times over the length (S) in such a way that food which may be located between the first tie-off point and the second tie off point (1, 2), is displaced before the second tie-off point (2) is produced and said thread is continued from product (5.1-5.3) to product (5.1-5.3) of the plurality of products.
