ABSTRACT:
Methods are disclosed for producing substantially flat processed meat products and, more specifically, flat casingless hot dogs. In the disclosed methods a material containing substantial amounts of the meat protein is formed prior to cooking into a flat form of a predetermined thickness by pressing the uncooked material. The flat form is then heated either simultaneously with the forming or thereafter to a temperature and for a time sufficient to congeal a sufficient amount of the protein to stabilize the shape of the flat form but insufficient to cause any substantial rendering of the material. The surface of the congealed flat form is then treated by smoke, drying or both to establish its texture and flavor, and the treated flat form is then finally cooked into the food product. The flat form is cut into discrete flat shaped patties either at the beginning of the method or subsequent to cooking or chilling. The meat product formed by the method of the invention has a unique layered cross-section, and pleasantly pocked surface appearance, color and texture.
