A system for shaping a food product which is initially in the liquid state, such as fresh liquid egg white or yolk, while it is hardening, in which the liquid product is fed to a continuously unwinding band of flexible material, such as Teflon-coated paper which is deformed while in motion from a flat state to the shape of a continuous container and in which the product is treated as by heating until it is hard. After the product is hard the band is restored to its flat state and is drawn in a direction opposite to its original direction while the shaped and hardened product is carried away. Specifically, the means for deforming the band comprises a pair of press rollers having male and female molding parts for marking longitudinal folding lines on the band and flanges for raising the edges of the bands along the longitudinal folding lines. Preferably, the product is heated in a microwave cavity and, during heating, a second band is applied on top of the shaped band to form a steam-tight cover.
