Continuous cooking method
Abstract
Abstract Method of continuously cooking food or raw grain materials by metering the materials to a conveyor having a plurality of conveying members thereon and a pair of restriction members to establish fluid pressure seals with the conveying members. The materials are then conveyed through one of the restriction members and discharged into a cooker which for grain operates at a temperature of about 240 degree - 300 degree F. and in a pressure range of about 10-50 p.s.i.g. while the moisture is maintained in the range of 25-40%. The materials are then received in compartments formed by the conveying members, passed through the second restriction member and discharged from the conveyor in a cooked condition without loss of pressure in the cooker.
