- the container 3 is sufficiently strong so that the pressure force (Fi) exerted by the wall 5 on the transformed food 2, which is substantially perpendicular to the main axis of extension of the wall 5, is greater than to said pressure force (fi) exerted by said food 2 on said wall 5.
- the wall 5 is therefore advantageously also designed to exert, at least partially, said pressure force (Fi) on said transformed food product 2 or during its transformation.
- the pressure force (F) is also preferably exerted on the feed 2 by the pressing force (F 2 ) of the bottom 3A of the container 3.
- the feed 2 absorbs liquid which causes a increase of its volume.
- the feed 2 being constrained in the container 3 sufficiently rigid, it deforms by increasing its volume towards the top of the container 3 in the direction of the opening zone 6, said container 3 exerting a compression (F) on the feed 2.
- the container 3 is thus designed in a material that gives it the rigidity necessary for the latter to mold the food 2 during or at the end of processing.
- the constitution of the container 3 allows a compressive force, the pressure force (F), of the container 3 on the feed 2, which is of substantially opposite direction and of greater value than the pressure force (f) that the food 2 exerts on said container 3.
- the pressure force (F) which is in a way the resultant of at least the forces (F- t ) and (F 2 ), limits the deformation that could undergo the container 3 during processing and allows the processed food 2 to marry and perfectly retain the shape of the inner volume 4 of said container 3.
- said processing unit 1 thus makes it possible to shape the food product 2, during its processing, mainly by using the substantially rigid wall 5 and bottom 3A of the container 3 which enter in direct contact with the food product 2.
- the wall 5 and the bottom 3A then advantageously have a function of molding the food product 2 by the pressure forces (Fi, F 2 ) that they exert on the food 2, which one transformed once perfectly embraces the shape of said total interior volume 4 and therefore corresponds to a food 2 transformed and molded.
- said processing unit 1 further comprises a closing means 7 (see FIG. 1) intended to close the opening zone 6 in order firstly to keep the food product 2 inside said unit transformation 1 during the transformation, and secondly to exert a sufficient pressure force (F 3 ) on said food product 2 converted to contribute to the molding of the latter.
- a closing means 7 shown to close the opening zone 6 in order firstly to keep the food product 2 inside said unit transformation 1 during the transformation, and secondly to exert a sufficient pressure force (F 3 ) on said food product 2 converted to contribute to the molding of the latter.

- said closing means 7 comprises both the cover 8 which covers the opening 6 and a closure cover 8A which covers said cover 8, so as to form a substantially rigid assembly with the container 3.
- the closure cover 8A is advantageously made of waterproof material, resistant and sufficiently flexible to promote the joining and the separation of the cover 8A of the unit 1, for example PET.
- the closure means 7 advantageously comprise orifices 9 to contribute to the transit of the liquid in said processing unit 1 during the transformation operation.
- the closure means 7 is made of a flexible material, for example plastic, so that the closure means 7 on the one hand contributes to the molding of said processed food product 2, and on the other hand undergoes possibly a slight and reversible deformation, during the processing of the food product 2, in particular to guarantee a secure transformation of the food 2,
- the transformation unit 1, in particular the container 3, has the shape of a dome, that is to say of a cup or a shell, substantially rigid, non-perforated, whose opening area 6 is closed by a cover 8 perforated by the orifices 9, so as to allow the processing of the food product.
- the cover 8 is covered by the closure cover 8A, so as to make said processing unit 1 substantially watertight and avoid any risk of inadvertent exit of said food product through the orifices 9.
