A taco shell mold for cooking tortillas may include a tortilla cage sized and shaped to accommodate a tortilla. The tortilla cage may include an outer frame with a substantially U-shaped cross section and an inner frame nested within the outer frame, the inner frame having a substantially U-shaped cross section, wherein the inner frame is spaced from the outer frame, defining a tortilla slot between the inner frame and the outer frame. A handle attachment may be attached to the cage. Some versions of the taco shell mold may include a plurality of taco cages nested within one another.

An automated waffle cone shaper for shaping waffle cones may include a mounting plate; a slide rail mounted to a top surface of the mounting plate, the slide rail including a slide carriage slidably mounted thereon; a tray attached to the slide carriage, such that when the slide carriage slides along a length of the slide rail, the tray moves along a length of the mounting plate, wherein the tray comprises a waffle feed portion and a cone shaper mold extending from the waffle feed portion; a motor and gearbox operatively attached to an end of the mounting plate distal from the slide rail; and a cone shaping spindle operatively attached to the motor, such that when the motor is activated, the cone shaping spindle rotates.

Edible container for food products includes two halves of same shape, both of baked dough, shaped as a thin-walled tray with side walls on which protrusions and hollows are made; each half is symmetrical in plan view, as a tray, relative to an axis along a bottom of the tray; both halves are interconnected with the location of the protrusions of one half in the hollows of the other half to form a hollow thin-walled shell. End support platform is along edge of side walls of each tray. The protrusions and hollows are along the platform on inner wall of the tray. The protrusions are above the support platform and the hollows are below the level. Recesses are on outer surface of the tray opposite each protrusion, inside the tray extended along a height of the side wall, to form stiffeners on outer surface; each protrusion is opposite a recess.

A sandwiching device for creating pocket sandwich-type food, the sandwiching device having a punch, a die to work with the punch to cut foodstuff, and a sealer seated within the die to seal the foodstuff while being cut with the punch and die. The punch can be lowered to press against the die and the sealer. When the foodstuff is placed on the die, pressing the punch against the die and the sealer simultaneously cuts the crust off the foodstuff while sealing the edges to create a pocket sandwich. To facilitate the sealing, the perimeter edge of the sealer may have a scalloped edge.

Disclosed is an apparatus for making a pastry in the shape of a cone, including a base carrying a plate, a cone holder removably mounted on the plate, at least one conical mold removably mounted on the cone holder, and a guide to guide a tool for depositing a preparation intended forming the pastry. The guide and cone holder are arranged so the depositing tool and the conical mold move with respect to each other to deposit, on the mold, the preparation to become the pastry to obtain at least one cone of the preparation formed around the conical mold. Also disclosed are equipment including the apparatus and the depositing tool, a method for making a pastry in the shape of a cone from a preparation intended to become the pastry by using the apparatus or the equipment, as well as the pastry in the shape of a cone.

A sandwiching device for creating pocket sandwich-type food, the sandwiching device having a stand, a lever mechanism attached to the stand, a punch attached to the lever mechanism, a die attached to the stand and positioned below the punch, and a sealer seated within the die. The lever mechanism is used to lower the punch and press the punch against the die and the sealer. When foodstuff is placed on the die, pressing the punch against the die and the sealer simultaneously cuts the crust off the foodstuff while sealing the edges of the foodstuff to create a pocket sandwich. To facilitate the sealing, the perimeter edge of the sealer may have a scalloped edge.

The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing an ice cream cone, formed by a cone-shaped wafer and a layer of chocolate arranged on the inner face and upper edge of said wafer, with ice cream inside the ice cream cone. Another object of the invention is the ice cream cone obtained from said process.

A system for forming and baking dough has a pallet with a female mold and a ram separate from the pallet. A ribbon of unbaked dough is located between the pallet and the ram. The ram has a male mold that is actuated to contact and stretch the dough into the female mold when the male mold engages with the female mold. A portion of the dough is separated from the ribbon and remains with the pallet as it is baked. An optional weight is mated to the pallet to maintain the position of the stretched dough with the female mold during the baking process.

The invention relates to a device for producing a wafer cup, comprising a mold core and a die. The die has a base and a plurality of wall segments which are connected to the base in an articulated manner. A mechanism is provided for pivoting the wall segments from a first position, in which the base forms a support for receiving a wafer sheet that extends over the base (32), into a second position, in which the wall segments form a wall that surrounds the base and extends substantially perpendicularly from the base, thereby setting the wafer sheet sections extending over the region of the base against the mold core.

An automated system and method for manufacturing a cone-shaped food product holder requires the coordinated use of a forming unit, a conveyor unit and a control unit. In their combination, the forming unit rotates a conically-shaped bake form at a constant angular velocity . Simultaneously, the conveyor unit advances a bread dough strip on a conveyor belt at a constant linear velocity v, for deposit of the bread dough strip onto the bake form. In order to account for the conical configuration of the bake form, the actions of the forming unit and the conveyor unit are coordinated by the control unit. Specifically, the control unit moves the conveyor unit with a predetermined rotation relative to the forming unit to form the food product holder on the forming unit for subsequent baking.
