A method includes cooking a first human-edible ingredient for a predetermined time period, combining a second human-edible ingredient with a human-edible binder to form a sauce, cooking the sauce for a predetermined time period, enclosing the first human-edible ingredient and the sauce in a casing to form an encased portion, cooling the encased portion to a predetermined temperature, removing the casing from the portion, battering and breading the portion, cooling the battered and breaded portion to a predetermined temperature, and cooking the battered and breaded portion for a predetermined time period.

A pizza saucer having a housing in which components may be mounted. The housing includes a base having an upwardly facing deck, a neck that extends from the base to a head, and a manifold mounted to the head facing the deck. The housing contains at least one pump to convey pizza sauce from a source to the manifold, and a computer that controls a rotary prime mover in the base with a driveshaft extending through the deck to a tray drivingly linked to the driveshaft. An input, such as a touchscreen, is mounted to the head and faces the user during operation. With the touchscreen, the user may input the crust size. The computer actuates the pumps and the rotary prime mover, simultaneously causing the crust to rotate 360-370 degrees and the manifold to dispense sauce onto the crust until the crust is coated.

Starch-based edible coating compositions for preserving food products are disclosed. The starch-based coatings comprise both a polymerized starch, comprising intertwined amylopectin chains and/or amylose chains, and native (unmodified) and/or modified starch granules dispersed in a liquid carrier. When the starch granules are heated to a temperature to induce swelling, the swollen starch granules become embedded in the intertwined amylopectin and/or amylose chains, improving physical properties of the coating needed to extend shelf-life of food products. Also disclosed are coatings made from the coating compositions, methods of making the coatings, and methods of applying the coatings to food products.

The invention relates to a corn dog mold device comprised of an upper half and a lower half that attach to one another in a snap-like fashion via a plurality of protrusions. The upper half has a convex area and the lower half has a concave area that receive the upper and lower portions of a corn dog, and wherein each half has a semi-circular opening that allows the stem of a corndog to extend outwards from the halves. To use the device, a corn dog can be battered and both halves can be secured to each other with the battered corn dog within the device. The device can be placed within a freezer for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the shape of the battered corn dog to settle before cooking, wherein after 3 to 5 minutes the corn dog can be removed from the device and then fried.
