Provided herein is a snack bar containing essentially identifiable uncooked and ready-to-eat foodstuff while being substantially devoid of an added binder, such as carbohydrate-based binder. Also provided is a process of preparing the binder-free snack bar, using compression and ultrasonic energy without cooking the foodstuff, while achieving a chemically and mechanically stable ready-to-eat product.

An outdoor cooking station configured to keep cooked food warm within a warming chamber of the cooking station. The cooking station includes a main body with frame components and panels, the panels coupled to the frame components so as to extend and define the warming chamber, the warming chamber positioned below heating elements supported by the main body. The warming chamber is fixedly positioned relative to the heating elements. The main body includes a door pivotably coupled to the main body and positioned along a front side of the main body, the door pivotably moveable between an open position and a closed position. With this arrangement, the door facilitates access to the warming chamber to place cooked food therein.

A liquid potato-derived product may be produced from whole raw potatoes and may be utilized to produce various healthy food products, such as dips and sauces. This liquid potato product may be produced from raw potatoes by pretreating the potatoes, gelatinizing the pretreated potatoes, shearing the gelatinized potatoes under specific milling temperatures and conditions to produce a sheared potato product with desirable particle sizes, and then cooking the sheared potato product to form the liquid potato product.
