An apparatus utilizes an object holding technique for holding a tray (16) or discrete object while supplying a dough product (17) onto the tray or discrete object. Preferably, a conveyor (20, 22) transports the tray (16) or discrete object for receiving dough products. A subframe (48) preferably moves the tray or object, by way of deflecting the conveyor, to a position with respect to a dough supplying device (142) such that dough products (17) may be placed on the tray (16) or object. In an embodiment, a cutoff blade (148) may be utilized to portion the dough products. Preferably, the operation of the conveyor (20, 22), subframe (48), supply device (142), and cutoff blade (148) are controlled by a control system (11). The present invention is also directed to methods of portioning and placing dough products on a tray or discrete object by way of such an apparatus.

A multiple portion sauce tray (10) formed from a rigid foam material is provided. The sauce is located in a plurality of receptacles (12) for holding individual portions of sauce. The receptacles (12) of the tray (10) do not separate when the tray is processed by automated packaging equipment, but may be readily separated by the consumer at time of use. The tray (10) is particularly useful in a combination product, wherein sauces are provided with comestible articles for dipping therein. Methods for manufacture of the sauce tray (10) and the combination product, as well as uses of the tray (10) and the combination product are provided.

An oven utilizes a convective heat transfer mechanism for cooking the food products where the oven provides heated gas in the form of columns or streams and which are directed to at least one surface of a food product within the oven. Steam is introduced within the convective heat transfer mechanism for creating a moisture environment substantially surrounding the entire food product during its baking. Such an oven permits baking food products, in particular dough products, and even more particular bagel products, by a convective heat transfer mechanism that provides for quicker and more even cooking of the food product while providing for the making of whatever level of moisture is desired about the food product for imparting a desirable characteristic to the food product. For bagel products, in particular, desirable surface sheen and texture characteristics can be achieved. The present invention is also directed to methods of cooking food products, in particular dough products, and even more particular bagel products, by way of such an oven.

A frozen, unproofed laminated dough that can be baked without being thawed or proofed and that provides a desirable specific volume of the backed product. A frozen unproofed laminated dough includes a layer dough and shortening layers that alternative with the layer dough. The layer dough includes flour, a water-binding agent, a leavening agent, a fat source, and water. The specific volume of the frozen, unproofed laminated dough is 0.8 cc/g to 1/4 cc/g. The frozen unproofed laminated dough prepared a baked product having a baked specific volume of at least 3 cc/g when baked without being thawed or proofed before baking. The frozen, unproofed laminated dough can be used to prepare Danishes, croissants, and the like.
摘要:
A dough cutting apparatus (16) is suitable for cutting a sheet of dough (15). The dough cutting apparatus (16) includes a structure defining a blunt dough engaging portion (18). The present invention can be embodied in a number of different ways, including a wheel cutter (48), a rotary drum cutter (138), a reciprocating head cutter (108), or another cutter.

An apparatus for loading dough into a container through a container opening includes a support frame (12) having a cam rail (14). An endless band (16) is rotatable on the support frame (12) and includes a plurality of tilting spoon assemblies (20) mounted to the band (16). Each tilting spoon assembly (20) includes a support member (21), a spoon (26), a hinge (27), and a push bar (74). The hinge (27) joins an end (26B) of the spoon (26) to the support member (21). The push bar (74) selectively tilts the spoon (26) from a first position to a second position relative to the support member (21). The push bar (74) has a first end joined to the spoon (26), positioned between the hinge (27) and a second end (26A) of the spoon (26) remote from the first end (26B). A second end of the push bar engages the cam rail (14). The cam rail (14) includes bends to cause selective displacement of the push bar (74) to tilt the spoon (26) from the first position to the second position.
摘要:
A dough extruder (10) has a die set (30) with an inner die (54) and an outer die (64). The inner die (54) is formed in a desired shape (61) that represents an item of interest, such as an animal, toy, or other identifiable object, and the outer die (64) has an opening surrounding the inner die (54). Dough is extruded through each of the dies (54, 64) simultaneously. The dough for the inner die (54) has different indicia, such as color or other visually identifiable characteristic, from the dough extruded through the outer die (64). A sizing housing (66) is positioned downstream from the dies (54, 64) and smoothly changes in cross-sectional size in direction away from the dies (54, 64) to permit the dough to flow such that streamlines remain parallel as the sizing housing (66) changes in size, to accurately retain the center cross-sectional shape of the extruded dough as formed by the inner die (54). Preferably, as disclosed, the sizing housing (66) is cone-shaped to reduce the extruded dough cross-sectional area.
