ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Method and apparatus for forming shaped meat products capable of withstanding subsequent cooking without loss of geometric integrity. Chunks of uncooked animal meat, after mechanical working to cause a tacky exudate to form on the surface of the meat, are packed in a closed mold structure and frozen to cause expansion of the meat within the closed mold. Pressure developed entirely by expansion of freezing forces the meat chunks to fill any voids within the mold and to press the meat chunks tightly together to form an integral block or loaf of meat conforming to the shape of the mold. To control the pressure within the mold, a portion of the mold is closed by a resiliently biased member capable of resisting movement of the member in response to internal pressures up to a predetermined range which are generated by expansion of the meat. When removed from the mold the meat may be cut and prepared in any desired conventional manner without loss of its geometric integrity. -1-
