ABSTRACT:
A mixing agitator for use in a kettle wherein food is mixed either with or without cooking of the food, the invention allows gentle mixing of substantially liquid mixtures to suspend solids uniformly therein without damage to the solids. The agitator preferably takes the form of a rotary shaft horizontally disposed within a kettle having a substantially hemispherical bottom portion, the shaft having contoured blade-like elements attached thereto which act on rotation of the shaft to lift material from the bottom of the kettle to the top of the body of the food and thus produce a uniform dispersion of liquid and solid materials during a cooking/mixing processing phase, a mixing only phase, or a subsequent phase of dispensing the uniformly mixed material from the kettle. The blade-like elements can be provided at free ends thereof with contoured scrapers which are arcuately shaped to conform to localized portions of the bottom portion of the kettle and which in combination act to uniformly scrape the food-contacting walls of the kettle to prevent "burn-on" of certain food materials during a mixing/cooking processing phase.
