ABSTRACT:
A food transferring fixture is disclosed which can be used to transfer food items from one food preparation area to another. The fixture includes a hoop for surrounding items to be transferred and a spatula for scooping, supporting or depositing the items to be transferred. The hoop and spatula are mounted to a horizontally extendable frame for moving the spatula relative to the hoop. In other embodiments, one or more hoops and spatulas having a plurality of apertures arranged in a horizontal planar array are used to deposit food items in the array pattern and retrieve the items in the same pattern. After processing in some embodiments, a removably attached second subassembly may be used to transfer uncooked food to a cooking station. The uncooked food subassembly is then removed, and a first cooked food subassembly then retrieves the cooked food items. Additionally, a method for transporting food items which incorporates many of the above-listed features is also provided.
