Abstract

A device and method for molding food articles of raw finely divided beef and similar tissue containing food material that is normally subject to uneven shrinkage during cooking comprising supply means for the material, a mold comprising superimposed mold plates each having an opening each with a peripheral edge with the edges of these plate openings being adapted to be aligned to define a mold opening in which the plate openings are of the same size and shape, and a supply passage for supplying pressurized material to the plate openings when the mold is in a mold filling position with the plate opening edges out of alignment. This results in projecting food material across the non-aligned openings to fill the plate openings and there are provided means for moving the plate openings into edge alignment to comprise the mold opening and for removing the resulting shaped article from the mold opening.
