Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied bythe inventors: “Individual food items are often partially proce ssed for supplying to restaurants, such as fast food restaurants, where the fina l cooking of the food items is completed immediately prior to beingserved to a customer. For example, food items can be processed from various ingredients, cut or shapedinto individual pieces, coated with one or more outer layers, partial ly pre-cooked, frozen, and/or otherwiseprocessed and packaged so that restauran t employees only need to cook the items for a relatively briefperiod of time be fore they are ready to be served to the customer. This type of system helps to s tandardizethe quantity and quality of cooked products that are provided to a co nsumer, along with improving foodquality and reducing complaints.
