Abstract

A method of and an apparatus for producing a processed foodstuff by passing a current to a raw food material wherein the raw food material placed in an insulating container open on upper and lower sides is held between an upper electrode member and a lower electrode member serving concurrently as a juice receiver located on opposite sides of the raw food material through respective salt water containing contact members which are resiliently connected together by resilient connection means in an insulated condition. A current is passed between the upper and lower electrode members through a plug having a probe to heat the raw food material to a predetermined temperature to sterilize it. Juices given off by the raw food material collect in a juice trap. The insulating container containing the raw food material may be placed on a worktable in the front thereof and moved to the rear of the worktable. When it reaches a predetermined position, it is brought into contact with current passing members to pass a current between the upper and lower electrode members.
