Abstract
Meat is processed by introducing it into a mobile cooking vessel after which the vessel is sealed from the atmosphere. A stock liquor is heated by a heat exchanger to a cooking temperature of at least 60.degree. C. and circulated through the vessel and the heat exchanger for a time sufficient to heat and cook the meat. After the meat is cooked, the circulating stock liquor is cooled by the heat exchanger to a temperature suitable to cool the heated, cooked meat to a temperature of no more than 15.degree. C. within 45 minutes.
