ABSTRACT:
An automatic baking apparatus for making food products in piece form from dough-like substances which apparatus has holding means adapted to be fixed to the top and bottom edges of a flexible sealable mixbag (100) containing dry ingredients and water. The baking apparatus has upper and lower drums (230,232) and means for moving the drums, and the mixbag has male protrusions (134, 134a) at the upper and lower edges so that the mixbag (100) can be attached respectively to the upper and lower drums (230, 232). The holding means on the upper and lower drums is in the form of a female groove (234, 234a) commensurate in shape with the male protrusions (134, 134a) on the mixbag so that the mixbag male protrusions can be detachably interlocked with the female grooves on the drums. In this way the mixbag is attached to the drums for a kneading process in the baking apparatus and after the kneading process is completed, the mixbag is rolled up onto the lower drum (232). Furthermore, the mixbag (100) has a specially shaped permanent seal (104, 116) in the lower portion thereof which permits dry ingredients located above this specially shaped permanent seal to more easily burst a burstable seal (108, 119). Furthermore, the mixbag has two machine readable indicia (121a, 121b) to be read by scanning means (270) in the baking apparatus, the first indicia (121a) informs the baking apparatus that the particular mixbag is suitable for operation in the baking apparatus, and the second indicia (121b) programs into the baking apparatus the receipt for the ingredients contained in the mixbag.
