Abstract
Jets of heated gaseous fluid are perpendicularly directed against the surface of a food product, moving relative to said jets, such that the jets impinge against discrete points on said surface, before fluid in the jets is diffused, to wipe away the boundary layer of air and moisture from said discrete points. Heat is thus transferred to the surface of the food product at points upon which the jets impinge thereby increasing the temperature at said points.
