Method and a device for the preparation of slaughtered poultry for picking
First Claim
1. A method for the preparation of slaughtered poultry for picking wherein bodies of the poultry are scalded comprising introducing heated water vapor into a heated scalding compartment, which is heated to a predetermined temperature, introduced the bodies of the slaughtered poultry into the heated scalding compartment, generating at least one flow of a water vapor-air mixture obtained from within the scalding compartment and guiding the at least one flow of water vapor-air mixture against predetermined regions of at least one of the bodies of the poultry with the scalding being performed without the bodies of the slaughtered poultry being submersed in water.
