An adjustable smoothing device is provided for smoothing and decorating a food item. The smoothing device includes a base plate, a supporting plate, a leveling unit, a block unit and a mounting plate. The supporting plate includes an elongated member. The leveling unit includes a ridge portion, a vertical member, a height adjustable leveling member and a level tightening means. The block unit is coupled to the elongated member and includes a groove portion. The block unit is connected to the leveling unit to form a smoothing assembly. The smoothing assembly and the elongated member are adaptable to rotate around the mounting plate along an axis of the base plate thereby enabling the vertical member and the height adjustable leveling member to smooth the food item positioned at the mounting plate.

Glucosyl Stevia compositions are prepared from steviol glycosides of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni. The glucosylation was performed by cyclodextrin glucanotransferase using the starch as source of glucose residues. The short-chain glucosyl Stevia compositions were purified to >95% content of total steviol glycosides. The compositions can be used as sweetness enhancers, flavor enhancers and sweeteners in foods, beverages, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

An interlocking baked food brick maker has an electric heating element and an interlocking baked food brick mold. The interlocking baked food brick mold has stud cavities on a bottom plate and recess projections on a top plate so that it makes interlocking baked food bricks that have studs on top and matching recesses on the bottom. The studs of one interlocking baked food brick fit into the recesses of another interlocking baked food brick so that multiple interlocking baked food bricks can be joined together to form a structure.

The present disclosure discloses a microwave processing method for food made of flour and rice fermented with sourdough and belongs to the technical field of food processing. It comprises: adding a sourdough to the raw material to prepare a steamed cake batter; fermenting the batter under the dielectric constant of 20.sup.34, the loss factor of 6.3.sup.9.0, the moisture content of 45.sup.55% and the water activity of 0.920.sup.0.980; and using microwave heating to obtain the microwave-steamed cake. Due to the regulating effect of the sourdough fermentation on the dielectric properties of the food material, it solves the problems of hard core, textual firmness and toughness, dryness and weak flavor caused by fast and uneven microwave heating without adding food additives; meanwhile, the sourdough fermentation process is optimized and the DY and additive amount of the sourdough are controlled to obtain the microwave-steamed cake with larger specific volume, lower hardness, more fine and uniform pores and better taste.
