摘要： A machine for making a food product includes a cooking apparatus for cooking an aliquot of dough disposed in a predetermined shape about a cooking member of a material which has a chemical composition substantially impervious to cooking temperatures. The machine also incorporates a mechanism (78) in grasping contact with a protruding end of the cooking member (86) for extracting the cooking member (86) from the cooked dough (72), thereby creating a chamber in the cooked dough (72). The mechanism also includes a holder (76) in contact with the cooked dough (72) for restraining the cooked dough (72), and a motive component (74) operatively connected to at least one of holder (76) and a gripper (80) for moving the one of the holder and the gripper relative to the other to remove the cooking member (86) from the cooked dough (72).
