ABSTRACT:
Application of substantial pressure to ends of a frankfurter, concurrent with passing of electrical current, through the application of a cooking tray whose structure accepts multiple frankfurters and allows the pressure to be applied by the use of a carriage system with multiple plungers whose points of contacts serve as electrodes; use of aluminum foil patches between the extremities of the frankfurter and electrode plunger cups is made to maintain conductivity with said aluminum patches being applied by use of a paper tape sprocket system which is microprocessor controlled or in the alternative by manual operator insertion in a modified cooking tray which eliminates the need of the paper tape sprocket system. Application of pressure to extremities of the frankfurter is well in excess of that required for mere electrical contact, but is part of the cooking process for producing a processed frankfurter in less than 40 seconds with high reliability by passing an electric current without burning or arcing. Within the frankfurter, the substantial pressure eliminates voids and provides a consistent electrical contact. The apparatus allows for the use of various brands of frankfurters in as much as a consistent uniform electrical contact is provided by the use of a combined specially shaped plunger which also serves as part of the electrode.
