Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9622029A1] A device (10) for making foodstuffs such as French fries, comprising a tank (11), e.g. for dehydrated potato flakes, a water and/or steam tank (19) for rehydrating the flakes, and an oil tank (22). Metered amounts of flakes, water and oil may be mixed in a chamber (20) to form a dough which is then fed into a cylinder (23) and driven by a plunger (24) into a mould (30) containing a cavity (31) in the shape of a French fry. Each French fry is cooked in the mould by means of a heating element, whereafter it is cut off by a cutting tool (26) and dropped into a container (27). In an alternative embodiment, the oil may be fed into the mould to form a coating on the dough shaped into a French fry.
