Abstract

A process for the production of dimensionally stable, sliceable, starch-containing products, in particular dumplings, in boil-in-bag packages, which comprises at least partially gelatinizing the starch-containing starting material, then freezing it, comminuting the frozen starch sponge, thawing it by pressing and/or drying after dewatering, and packaging it in boil-in-bag packages, the fill quantity and the remaining head space in the bags being dimensioned in such a way that the cooked product completely fills the boil-in-bag packages and dimensionally stable, sliceable, edible products result owing to the pressure of the hydrated contents of the bag against the bag wall.
