A device for producing and processing food, in particular meat, comprising at least one perforated plate (P) comprising holes through which the food can be pressed. The perforated plate, (P) is made of two parts, for example, a carrier and an insert, and a press element, for example, a blade which is guided along the insert, is associated with the insert. The invention is characterized in that the insert deviates, in a minimal manner, heat arising between the insert and the press element.
