Abstract: Fresh chicken quarters are needle injected with a marinade including juiciness and browning reaction-facilitators and smoke flavoring. The marinated quarters are dipped into an aqueous suspension of seasonings and spices, then baked in a convection oven at 250.degree. F. for 20 minutes for drying the surface coating of seasoning and spices. A glaze is spread on the seasoning- and spice-coated marinated chicken parts for sealing in moisture and enhancing achievement of desirable browning. The glazed chicken parts are roasted (baked) on trays in a convection oven at 250.degree. F. for 40 minutes, removed, and served as a succulent product having an appearance and taste which is competitive with that of rotisserie-broiled chicken.

Abstract: Ground beef at 28.degree.-31.degree. F. ground to pass through 3/32-1/8 inch grinder outlet openings is spread laterally and sheeted on a moving conveyor belt to a desired patty thickness with minimum pressure and working. The sheet passes under an endless track of transversally extending bars having a pattern of hexagonal cells cooperatively formed in their outer faces. The bars are mounted to chains which are entrained about sprockets that are driven to match the surface speed of the sheet conveyor. Intermediate the longitudinal extent of the lower run of the track of cutter bars, the cutters are gradually cammed down to abutment with the sheet conveyor, and gradually out of the sheet. At the downstream end, the hexagonal patties move over a fluidized bed-type transfer plate onto a take away conveyor, e.g. into a blast freezer, as a narrow selvage at both lateral margins drop away for recycling.

Abstract: A consumer package which may be opened-up for removal of a contained product such as a child's meal, is provided with a built-in 3-D viewer feature preferably simulating a theater such as a motion picture theater or television viewing room. To that end, side-by-side viewing ports of two different optical characteristics are provided in one wall of the package for viewing a scene or series of scenes, which may be disposed internally of an opposite wall of the package. Each scene is printed in two, stereoptic views which are of the same optical characteristics as respective ones of the two viewing ports. These views are generally superimposed, but are slightly laterally out of registry by an amount sufficient to produce a simulation of three-dimensional imagery to a viewer who places the package to his or her face and views therein with both eyes, each looking through the respective viewing port at the respective view of the scene.

Abstract: A folding carton is provided with a three-dimensional scene collapsed upon the outer face of one sidewall of the carton. The scene may be folded out, with all elements popping into position simultaneously, to provide a game or other diversion after the primary use of the carton is completed. An auxiliary sidewall is provided with punch out figures or tokens for use in conjunction with the three-dimensional scene.

Abstract: A downwardly and forwardly open shroud for a cooking station converges rearwardly and upwardly toward an outlet duct. A throat region of the shroud is provided with a removable panel having a slotted baffle. A gutter and sump are provided for catching condensate, grease and the like. The panel is easily removed for cleaning, for exchanging with a similar panel having a different size and/or shape of slotted baffle and the sump is placed for easy cleanout. Versions are shown wherein the shroud is wall-mounted at the cooking station or cart-mounted together with a mobile cooking station.

Abstract: In a preferred form a restaurant meat broiling range hood is integrated with a fiber bed-type mist eliminating apparatus. Assistance is provided in the preferred form by a pump to draw the gas stream through this apparatus. Electrical and plumbing control systems are shown provided as substantially pre-assembled units for ease of field installation. A unique cleaning system is provided, which is simple to conduct.
