Abstract

A method and system for processing food products in a vessel includes the steps of introducing intermediate temperature water from a first reservoir into the vessel, circulating the water and emptying it back into the first reservoir. Next, hot water from a second reservoir fills the vessel, is regulated by circulation between the second reservoir and the vessel, and is emptied back into the second reservoir. Intermediate temperature water from the first reservoir is then reintroduced into the vessel, circulated and emptied. Then, chilled water or brine from a third reservoir fills the vessel, is regulated by circulation between the third reservoir and the vessel, and is emptied back into the third reservoir.

Dependent claims

A method for cooking and cooling food products in a vessel, including the steps of:

(i) introducing moulds containing food products into the vessel;
(ii) introducing water at a first temperature Tr from a first reservoir into the vessel;
(iii) circulating the first temperature water between the vessel and the first reservoir;
(iv) emptying the vessel into the first reservoir;
(v) filling the vessel with water at a second temperature Tc from a second reservoir, wherein Tc>Tr;
(vi) regulating the water at a temperature Tc1 by circulating the second temperature water between the vessel and the second reservoir and heating the second temperature water in the second reservoir;
(vii) emptying the vessel into the second reservoir;
(viii) introducing water at a first temperature Tr from a first reservoir into the vessel;
(ix) circulating the first temperature water between the vessel and the first reservoir;
(x) emptying the vessel into the first reservoir;
(xi) filling the vessel with a liquid at a third temperature Tg from a third reservoir, wherein Tg<Tr;
(xii) regulating the liquid at Tg by circulating the liquid between the vessel and the third reservoir and cooling the liquid in the third reservoir;
(xiii) emptying the vessel into the third reservoir, and
(xiv) after step (xiii), removing the moulds from the vessel.
