ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a sausage, which can be grilled or fried, and more particularly to a sausage making device for sausages made from a meat or protein mixture and a process for producing a sausage containing a protein and/or meat-containing mixture.
Frying or grilling sausages of the most varied type are known. It is also known to grill sausages in a helical or spiral form. A long sausage with an outer sausage skin, which is formed by a natural or artificial casing, is coiled into a spiral or helix, and is then fixed by spits.
The object of the invention is to devise an alternative to classical sausages, especially to classical frying or grilling sausages.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
To achieve this object a sausage is formed. The sausage as claimed in the invention is made without a casing, i.e. the outer sausage skin which holds the sausage meat together consists neither of a natural casing nor of an artificial casing, but is produced by the sausage meat itself by modification of this meat by boiling or heating. The sausage as claimed in the invention is preferably a frying or grilling sausage.
An object of the invention is also to provide a sausage making device with which sausages can be produced in the most varied forms in a simple manner and also with high output. To achieve this object a sausage making device with at least one delivery opening located a deposition site for producing a strand of sausage from a sausage mixture and means for motorized generation of relative motion between the delivery opening and the deposition site.
In the simplest case, in the sausage making device as claimed in the invention there is relative motion between the delivery opening and a deposition site, i.e. for example the deposition site is moved relative to the delivery opening or the delivery opening relative to the deposition site. Of course more complex movements are possible, especially movements of the delivery opening in several axial directions, optionally with simultaneous movement of the deposition site, etc.
In one possible embodiment, at least one delivery opening is formed by a delivery nozzle which is provided on an extruder-like sausage machine, or the delivery opening is formed by a shaped gap between two rollers which move in opposite direction.
The process of producing the sausage includes a heat treatment of the sausage mixture, wherein a strand of sausage is formed into a helix or spiral turn which adjoin one another or which touch one another, and the individual turns are connected to one another by modification of the sausage mixture.
