ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for the heat processing of foodstuff to improve the palatability thereof. The apparatus includes an oven housing defining an oven chamber having a material inlet and a material outlet. A tubular means extends between the material inlet and the material outlet for carrying the foodstuff during the cooking process. The tubular means is preferably comprised as a bank of interconnected augers. Control of the speed of the auger assembly determines the duration during which the foodstuff is subject to the heat processing. A fluid conduit system provides heated gases to the oven housing for purposes of heat processing or cooking the foodstuff. A blower is connected to the fluid conduit for moving the gases. A heater module provides heated gases to the fluid conduit and controls the temperature thereof. A moisture conditioning apparatus can be used to control the moisture content of the incoming foodstuff thereby controlling all of the process variables for the heat processing of foodstuff.
