Abstract:

Systems and methods for shaping food items are provided. The systems and methods can shape the food items into taco shapes. A system can include a basket and an insert. The basket includes at least one trough and a handle. The insert includes at least one wedge. The insert is assembled with the basket in use, and frozen patties are placed in the insert and/or the basket. The insert is assembled with the basket such that the wedges and/or troughs contact the patties. The assembly is placed in hot oil to cook the patties. As the patties cook and soften, the insert moves downward relative to the basket, and the wedges and/or troughs urge the patties into the troughs and into a taco shape.
