Abstract
A sausage mold comprises a non-conductive, heat-resistant tube having opposed conductive pistons slidably mounted therein and connected as electrodes to a dual frequency power supply. Meat paste is extruded into a mold cavity defined between the pistons through a supply line having a valve mounted in the face of one of the pistons. The meat paste is cured within the mold and a coagulated skin is formed thereon by the application of electrical currents of 60 hertz and 4,000 to 10,000 hertz, respectively. A plurality of molds are arranged in a cluster to form a configuration resembling the shape of the package into which the sausages are to be placed.
