Device for the ready-to-cook filling of cut meat.

The innovation relates to a device for the ready-to-cook filling of cut-to-size, in an open cooking form pickled meat.

The meat that is loosely filled into the cooking mold, for example ham, is cooked in the mold and is then ready for use Enjoyment. The meat in the pan contains air and other gases, some of which are or are within the meat as bubbles between the individually cut pieces of meat. These air and gas inclusions only leave for Part of the meat mass during cooking and later prove to be disadvantageous when storing the cooked meat, because they favor undesired decomposition processes.

The object of the invention is to create a device in which the meat in the cooking form is ready for cooking can be processed so that such air and gas inclusions are reduced and avoided as far as possible. The device should be characterized by a simple structure and easy handling.

The solution to this problem is, according to the invention, in a device which has the following features: an on an evacuation device that can be connected, airtightly lockable chamber with an open chamber on a horizontal

zontal guidance in the chamber retractable and retractable pallet and a cooking form that can be placed on this and one arranged within the chamber, can be attached and removed from above on the filling of the cooking pan by moving it up and down Press ram which can be actuated and controlled from the outside when the chamber is closed airtight.

The cut meat is placed in the cooking pan, then vented by applying negative pressure and then with applied negative pressure is pressed into the mold by placing the ram and then rebuilding it at the same time relieved of normal pressure from the ram.

The undesired gas is expelled by the combined effect of negative pressure and mechanical compression and the meat mass is compacted so that afterwards, i.e. after relief and during the cooking process, no more gas can get into the meat mass.

It has proven to be useful to set the ram to a first vacuum level of preferably only about To vent 0.2 to 0.5 bar and then with the ram attached more intensively to a second vacuum level of preferably 0.1 to 0.18 bar to vent.

The degassing process, during which the chamber is closed, lasts a few seconds, for example about 3 to 5 seconds. During this time the operating _i can _{| r} person feed a second chamber and carries a ^

denotes, which are arranged within the chambers and can be moved up and down in the direction of arrow 17, while there is negative pressure in the chamber in question. The press rams can be controlled in alternating operation from the outside by devices housed in the control loads 11. The chambers are mounted on a cabinet 18, which is only broken away in FIGS. 2 and 3, the top of which serves as a working platform 19. Along the work platform 19, a pallet 2o, 21 is horizontally movable in a slide guide 22, 23 for each chamber, and can be retracted so far into the chamber that when the pallet is retracted, the associated door can be hermetically sealed and the chamber evacuated. With the door open, the pallet can be pulled out along the slide guide, as shown for the pallet 20 in Figure 2, so that it can be conveniently loaded with a new cooking pan after the old cooking pan has been removed. The two chambers are operated alternately - according to FIG. 2, the left chamber is currently open and the pallet 20 is extended, while the right chamber is closed, while according to FIG. 3 the left chamber is closed and the right chamber is open for changing the cooking pan.

The cooking pan filled as shown in FIG. 1 is placed on the pallet and moved into the opened chamber. then if the chamber is closed and evacuated to the first vacuum level, then the ram is maintained moved down by negative pressure, compresses the meat filling, while at the same time the chamber evacuates even further is, then the chamber is brought back to normal pressure and the ram is moved up again, the door is opened and pulled out the pallet and exchanged the cooking pan for another. The other chamber will alternate with it operated, so it is closed while one chamber is open, and vice versa.
