Abstract
A steam peeling or cooking apparatus for produce, such as potatoes, carrots, celeriac, red beets, Swedish turnips, apples, and the like, comprising a substantially cylindrical peeling vessel basically stationary in operation, said vessel including supply and discharge conduits for medium, in particular steam, and having closable supply and discharge openings. Said vessel is divided into two compartments by a grid-like screen arranged substantially at right angles to the axis of the peeling vessel. The compartment not being in direct contact with the produce supply opening forms a condensate chamber and includes a closable discharge opening, said apparatus further including means for agitating the produce during operation. According to the invention the grid-like screen is fixedly secured to the vessel and has a passage which, in operation, is closed by a grid-like valve movable perpendicularly to the plane of the grid and the condensate chamber is fitted with a closable discharge opening for produce and/or condensate.
