System for cooking fish
Abstract
Abstract GROUND RAW FISH IS PASSED THROUGH A COOKER WHERE IT IS CONFINED AS A THIN LAYER WHILE STEAM PASSES INTO IT THROUGH BOTH THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE LAYER. A DOWNSTREAM SCREW CONVEYOR SUPPLIES BACK PRESSURE WHICH PREVENTS STEAM FROM BLOWING FISH OUT OF THE COOKER. COOKED FISH, BY-PRODUCTS AND ENTRAPPED STEAM PASS FROM THE SCREW CONVEYOR TO A RESERVOIR. A RELIEF VALVE ON THE RESERVOIR MAINTAINS A PREDETERMINED PRESSURE THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM. IN ITS PREFERRED DESIGN THE COOKER INCLUDES TWO PERFORATED PARALLEL PLATES WHICH CONFINE THE FISH AS A THIN LAYER. THE INTERIOR FACE OF EACH PLATE, IN CROSS-SECTION, DEFINES A SERRATED EDGE. OTHER GROUND MEAT BESIDES FISH CAN BE COOKED IN THE SYSTEM.
