  • Machines for making sushi rolls
    Patent number: 6817285
    Abstract: A machine for making sushi rolls has a support base (10) supporting a foldable plate (12) made of four strips of metal pivotally mounted one to the next along three parallel hinge lines (17). Four frame members (13a, 13b, 13c, 13d) can be assembled to make a rectangular frame which is locatable on the plate (12) in either of two possible orientations, one of which defines a shallow recess and the other of which defines a deep recess to enable a thinner or thicker layer of rice to be applied to the plate which, after removal of the frame is folded to form a sushi roll having a thinner or thicker layer of cooked rice, so that the machine can produce sushi rolls with different bulks of filling.
