Abstract
The continuous processing of food products with steam, such as for blanching or cooking of vegetal products. The apparatus comprises a heating module and holding module. The heating module includes a pervious conveyor through which steam is emitted to heat and agitate the products thereon allowing uniform treatment of relatively thick layers of product. The holding module, comprising a compartmentalized conveyor, holds the heated products at an elevated temperature to complete processing without additional heat input.
