ABSTRACT:
A food product sheeter includes first, second, third and fourth rollers rotatably supported on a frame. The fourth roller is positioned above the first and second rollers, and is separated from the first roller by gap which serves as the entrance for dough into the sheeter. The fourth roller acts as a pressurizing roller and drives the food product into a slot between the first and second rollers. The third roller engages against the first roller to cut out food product shapes. The first and second rollers can have smooth non-stick surfaces to facilitate release of the cut-out food product shapes, without gaps or voids forming in them. In a second embodiment, the first roller has a pattern of non-stick surfaces, for example, in the shape of circles. The non-stick surfaces facilitate release of the cut food product shapes off the first roller. The pattern of the non-stick surface on the front roller is indexed to the cutting surfaces on the third roller, to maintain them in registration.
