摘要：
The present invention relates to a method, system and apparatus for making eggpatties which have been cooked, folded, frozen and which may be reheated toprovide an egg patty which resembles an egg patty made from fresh eggs. Theinvention includes an egg folding apparatus, a method for folding cookedliquid whole egg and a system for cooking and folding a cooked eggcomposition. The egg folding apparatus includes an endless linear array of eggcooking pans (2) movable as an endless conveyor. One side of the pans has aramp (46) which extends downward to the bottom pan. A plurality of spatulas(24) are disposed above the pans in an array above the pans. The spatulas arerotatable about an axis which is perpendicular to the linear array of pans,the pans movable upwardly away from the pans and downwardly toward the pans.As the pans move toward the spatulas, the spatulas move downwardly onto theramp of the pan, move under the coagulated egg composition and rotate suchthat they fold cooked eggs in the pans onto themselves as the pans move pastthe spatulas. The invention also relates to a method of packaging, freezingand thawing packaged frozen folded egg patties.
