Abstract
A device and a method for efficiently providing an impression, such as a netting impression, on meat products is provided. An exemplary device includes two members, each having a concavity from which extend protrusions for forming the impressions on a meat product. The meat product may be vacuumed packaged in film and sandwiched between the concavities of the two members, impressing the protrusions on the meat product outer surface. The members with impressed meat product are then heated for cooking the impression on the outer surface of the meat product.
Claims25
A method for processing meat products comprising:
- providing a first member comprising a first surface defining a concavity and comprising a plurality of protrusions extending from said first surface and arranged in a first pattern;
- providing a second member comprising a second surface defining a concavity comprising a plurality of protrusions extending from said second surface and arranged in a second pattern;
- providing a meat product;
- sandwiching the meat product between the first and second surfaces impressing the first and second patterns on the meat product;
- heating the meat product within the two members for cooking the impressed patterns on the meat product;
- removing the impressed meat product from the two members;
- and
- cooking the meat product to a desired state.
A method for processing meat products comprising:
- providing a first member having a plurality of first depressions each first depression comprising a plurality of protrusions;
- providing a second member having a plurality of second depressions corresponding to the plurality of first depressions, each of the second depressions comprising a plurality of protrusions;
- placing meat products in each of said plurality of first depressions;
- aligning the first member with the second member wherein each of said first depressions is aligned with a second depression;
- sandwiching the first and second members impressing the protrusions of a first and second depression on each of said meat products forming impressions on the outer surfaces of the meat products;
- heating the meat products within the two members for cooking the impressions on the meat products;
- and
- removing the meat products from the two members.
A method for processing a meat product comprising:
- packaging the meat product;
- providing an impression on the packaged meat product outer surface while packaged;
- heating the packaged meat product to cook the impression on the meat product outer surface;
- and
- cooking the meat product to a desired state.
