Device to prepare turnovers which has a base element, a top contact element, and lever for closing. The base element has two parts which are joined by two hinges. One part is fixed and the other one performs a 180 opening and closing movement to form the turnover. This movable part has engravings on its interior surrounding walls which are marked in the dough when the two parts come together to form the pie. The outer edge of the periphery of the base element has a slope that serves to cut the dough excess of the turnovers. When the lever presses the top contact element against the base element a concave tortilla will form. Then, the concave tortilla is stuffed with your choice of filling and the movable part closes to form the turnover. Finally, the movable part opens and the turnover is taken out.

A stuffed food forming machine disclosed includes a framework (600), a rotation assembly (100). A sending and cutting station (20) and a filling station (30) are settled around the rotation assembly. An opening (106) for collecting wrapper residues is set on the rotation assembly. A distance between an internal side of a shaping mold (1001) and a center of the rotation assembly (100) is bigger than a distance between the edge of the opening (106) and the center of the rotation assembly (100). The opening (106) is able to collect the wrapper residues while takes advantage of the space below the rotation assembly, which requires no extra space and the whole machine remains the compact size.

Fillable crusts including Bulgur wheat and methods for making the same are disclosed. Dough is formed into a pre-determined configuration by molds with surfaces matching the predetermined configuration. The dough is inductively cooked by inductively heating the molds. Additional examples of configurations include a flat disk, a concave disk, and a star shaped cup with multiple points. A filling is formed by mixing and pre-cooking a variety mixture of ingredients including sweet and savory. The filling is located within the fillable crust. The fillable crusts may be packaged and refrigerated for further use or cooked then immediately filled within a typical food preparation procedure.

An apparatus and method are provided for automatically making a pocket sandwich. The apparatus includes a platform configured to support a wrap (such as pita bread, tortillas, or the like) and a rotatable food pocket arranged at a center of the platform. A folding paddle is configured to rotate toward and away from the center of the platform, being placed at a location with respect to the platform such that motion of the folding paddle toward the center of the platform folds a portion of the wrap. The holding arm has a tip at a free end thereof, being movable in a vertical direction toward and away from the center of the platform. The holding arm is configured to contact the wrap and hold the folded pleat in place while the food pocket rotates with respect to the platform to permit the folding paddle to generate a successive pleat.

A packaged food product has a sheet of dough, and the sheet of dough includes at least two elements chosen preferably from water, legume flour, rice flour, vegetables, vegetable fibers and starches. The packaged food product having the sheet of dough is frozen and further includes a container. A method for preparing a sheet of dough includes at least the steps of receiving, storing and transferring raw materials required to prepare the sheet of dough; mixing and amalgamating the raw materials until a uniform mixture is obtained; and passing the mixture through a machine in order to obtain a uniform sheet of dough. The dough is then cooked, cooled, and cut, then frozen and packaged.

Machine for making filled pasta including a feeding station, configured for feeding a layer of fresh pasta and a predetermined quantity of a semi-finished food product to a coupling space of said machine, and a coupling device configured for coupling the layer of fresh pasta and the predetermined quantity of semi-finished food product. The coupling device includes at least one pair of synchronised forming rollers configured to rotate, respectively, on a first and a second rotation shaft and defining between the m the coupling space. Moreover, the coupling device is configured for performing, at each rotation cycle of said forming rollers, the production of an element of filled pasta by progressively wrapping said layer of fresh pasta around the predetermined quantity of semi-finished food product. The coupling device is configured to rotate the forming rollers at a variable speed, between a maximum speed and a minimum speed, during a single rotation cycle.

A device for processing food with stuffing, including a casing, an inclined auger, a vertical auger, a first pressing edge and a second pressing edge. This invention provides three mechanisms, including an extrusion forming mechanism, a feeding mechanism and a pressing-breaking mechanism. The casing and the inclined auger together form the extrusion forming mechanism which produces a continuous tubular wrapper through a gap. An inner cavity of the inclined auger and the vertical auger together form the feeding mechanism which fills the stuffing into the wrapper. The first pressing edge and the second pressing edge together form the pressing-breaking mechanism which is configured to seal and break food edges. The extrusion forming mechanism and the feeding mechanism can be integrated due to a suitable conical structure. The casing, as well as an external profile and an inner cavity of the inclined auger have an inverted cone shape.
