Abstract: A crust former for use with a wall-equipped container to construct crust therein from a mass of crust material provided within the container for this purpose. The crust former includes a forming head adapted to rotate about the center of such container to distribute the mass of crust material therein usually along both the bottom and side walls of the container to construct such crust. The head is carried by structure to positionally relate the forming head in a predetermined spatial relationship with the bottom and side walls of the container necessary for construction of the crust therealong. This structure enables the head and container to be relatively rotatable, and means are included in the crust former for preventing accumulation of crust material along the upper edge portion or rim of the container.
