Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus for processing and forming meat for cooking on a vertical rotisserie. The apparatus is utilized in conjunction with a standard meat grinding/mixing system. A portion of the apparatus attaches directly to a standard ground beef mixer such that the rotating motion of the mixer worm is utilized to force meat into a conical mold. Manipulation of a vent allows air to exit and the ground meat to easily enter the mold. Once the meat begins to exit the vent, the vent is closed, causing the meat to be packed into the conical mold by the mixer worm. The mold is then detached, inverted and the pre-measured, conical piece of packed beef is easily removed. A rod within the conical mold forms a skewer hole for future skewering on the vertical rotisserie.

Abstract: The invention is an improved beef product for cooking, particularly for cooking on a vertical rotisserie. The product includes a list of ingredients to be mixed with beef. The recipe lists the ingredients by percentages in the order of predominance. The disclosure also provides the manner of processing the beef product and the equipment used in the process.

Abstract: The invention is an improved process and process equipment for preparing beef for cooking, particularly for cooking on a vertical rotisserie. The process is a step-by-step procedure for preparation of the beef. The process uses special process equipment of this invention that molds and compresses the beef preparation in a specific way to accomplish the end result that overcomes problems of the prior art in preparing beef for cooking on a vertical rotisserie.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to vertical rotisserie structures wherein arcuate heating elements direct heat onto a foodstuff held on a spit mounted in the general focus of the heating elements. The present invention particularly provides a plurality of cooking platforms vertically arranged on a rotatable spit, each platform holding a plurality of portion-controlled foodstuffs for heating by opposed arcuate heating elements. The portions of the foodstuff are mounted on passive pivots which are caused to rotate in response to a fixed structural bias on rotation of the spit itself.
