Abstract
An apparatus and method for food extrusion is provided. The apparatus includes a substantially circular plate having a plurality of holes in an offsetting arrangement thereon. The arrangement of the holes provide food extruded through the apparatus with a shape which approximates the arrangement.
Claims5
A method for extruding food stuff comprising:
- providing an apparatus comprising an extrusion surface defined by a substantially circular perimeter, and a plurality of holes approximating an arc, the holes being positioned sufficiently close to one another, so as to permit formation of a firm, tightly packed food extrusion;
- placing food stuff to be extruded on a side upstream of the apparatus;
- exerting pressure against the food stuff, so as to move the food stuff in a direction perpendicular to the apparatus;
- and
- permitting the food stuff to be extruded across the apparatus in a manner which provides the extruded food stuff with a shape approximating the arc formed by the holes on the apparatus.
