    Abstract: A variable diameter cylinder made from a sheet having first and second edges that are opposite to each other and that slideably connect with each other to form a helical joint of a cylinder such that sliding the edges of the sheet along the joint varies a diameter and length of the cylinder. When marked with a scale, the cylinder acts as a measuring device that is both highly accurate and easy to use. A helical-based scale can be used alone, or a linear scale can be used in combination with a Vernier scale.

    Abstract: A process for producing precooked bacon slices comprising the steps of (a) conveying bacon slices through a spiral oven, (b) indirectly cooking the bacon slices in the spiral oven using a cooking medium which is circulated within the oven at a low rate sufficient to prevent the bacon slices from being displaced on the conveyor, and (c) adding steam to the cooking medium as necessary to at least reduce the percentage or substantially eliminate the presence of air in the cooking medium.

    Abstract: A system and method for pasteurizing the surface of a food product includes a flame pasteurizing means arranged to transfer heat to an outer layer of the food product as it is carried by a cook belt. The flame pasteurizing means provides a medium that engulfs more than 50% of the surface area of the skin or outer layer and raises the temperature of the outer layer to at least 145° F (about 62.8° C). A washing means, arranged at an exit point of the ilame pasteurizing means, removes the raised temperature outer layer and stops heat transfer to an adjacent inner layer of the food product. The pasteurized and washed product retains the same color and flavor as that of the unpasteurized product.

    Abstract: Surface roasting a food product using a conveyor 12 which carries the food product through a housing 4, one or more non-linear ribbon burners 10 positioned in the housing to discharge a ribbon flame to surface roast the food product; wherein the non-linear ribbon flame burner comprises an upper segment (32, Fig 3) to discharge an upper portion of the ribbon flame towards a top portion of the food product and two side sections (34, 36, Fig 3) which discharge two side portions of ribbon flame towards each side of the food product. Also disclosed is a burner to surface roast a food product comprising a continuous conduit loop (16, Fig 3), an interior opening (20, Fig 5) which is surrounded by and extends through the continuous conduit loop and a continuous flame slot (24, 26, Fig 5) which faces radially inwards toward the interior opening; said continuous flame slot surrounds the interior opening to discharge a continuous flame radially inward around a perimeter of the interior opening. The upper segment of the ribbon flame burner may have a curved shape; the curved shape may be segmented (Fig 3).
