Abstract
A dry starch material is incorporated into a comminuted meat which is then shaped as desired. Thereafter, a dry mix containing a combination of salt having a particle size of 100% by weight minus 100 U.S. mesh and carrageenan is applied to the surface the shaped meat before cooking in a microwave or conventional oven. The cooked product retains a higher amount of moisture and has improved appearance, taste and texture as compared to cooked meat, poultry or seafood which is not treated before cooking.
