Abstract
A food product is frozen at least partially by contacting a surface area ( ) of a chilled tray ( ). The tray ( ) consists of a plurality of elements ( ). The elements are juxtaposed to form the surface area ( ), they are further movable relative to each other for changing of the relative position of at least one element at a time, and finally they each occupy such a small surface in the surface area that the change of relative position is possible also after the food product part contacting the tray has been frozen.
