Improvements in Materials for application to Tins Plates or like
Vessels or Supports in or on which Dough or other Material is
Treated or Baked."
I, CARL FRANZ HAHN, of Einsiedel near Chemnitz, Saxony, in the German
Empire, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:
This Invention relates to materials for application to tins plates or like vessels
or supports in or on which dough or other material is treated or baked, such as
kneading troughs, baking tins or the like; so as to prevent the dough or material,
while it is being worked and moulded or baked, from adhering to the surfaces of
the said articles.
The object of the invention is to obviate the drawbacks incidental to powders,
hitherto generally used for this purpose, not only as regards their nature and
properties but likewise as regards their relation to, and influence upon, the
articles to be treated or baked. The materials hitherto used in many cases
consist of inferior cereals such as rice, millet and the like, ground to flour; which
are very liable to decay and which ferment when damp; and become mildewed
and utterly unfit for use. Flour of this description moreover, as a rule, adheres
to the dough, and is consequently baked along with and burned into the loaves
or other similar goods.
The material made according to this invention is free from these defects, while
at the same time it is far better in appearance.
The material according to this invention consists of sawdust or wood reduced
to the requisite degree of fineness, which combines all the advantages which a
good medium should offer. Owing to the source whence is is obtained, it is of
great purity and cleanliness, and it does not become deteriorated and is not liable
to ferment or to become mildewed. Being free from any agglutinative agent,
it does not adhere to the dough, while on the other hand it forms a species of
insulating layer between the wall of the trough, tin or other article and the
dough.
The new material may be prepared in any degree of fineness, and is the only
preparation of this class that fully attains the object for which the besprinkling
of bread and pastry supporting surfaces is resorted to; for, instead of forming
as hitherto an unsavoury crust at the bottom of the bread or the like, when its
baking is completed, it leaves the bottom-surface of the bread or the like perfectly
clean; as any particles of the wood-meal that might adhere to the dough before
baking would be charred away in the oven. It further affords the advantage of
being less expensive than the materials hitherto employed.
The tins moulds or other surfaces floured with the new powder, unlike those

page_text: which have been besprinkled with the old preparations, are at all times readily
kept perfectly clean.

"Improvements in Materials for application to Tins Plates or like
Vessels or Supports in or on which Dough or other Material is
Treated or Baked."
I, CARL FRANZ HAHN, of Einsiedel near Chemnitz, Saxony, in the German
Empire, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
This Invention relates to materials for application to tins plates or like vessels
or supports in or on which dough or other material is treated or baked, such as 1
kneading troughs, baking tins or the like; so as to prevent the dough or material,
while it is being worked and moulded or baked from adhering to the surfaces of
the said articles.
The object of the invention is to obviate the drawbacks incidental to powders,
hitherto generally used for this purpose, not only as regards their nature and
properties but likewise as regards their relation to, and influence upon, the
articles to be treated or baked. The materials hitherto used in many cases
consist of inferior cereals such as rice, millet and the like, ground to flour; which
are very liable to decay and which ferment when damp; and become mildewed
and utterly unfit for use. Flour of this description moreover, as a rule, adheres
to the dough, and is consequently baked along with and burned into the loaves
or other similar goods.
The material made according to this invention is free from these defects, while
at the same time it is far better in appearance.
The material according to this invention consists of sawdust or wood reduced
to the requisite degree of fineness, which combines all the advantages which a
good medium should offer. Owing to the source whence is it obtained, it is of
great purity and cleanliness, and it does not become deteriorated and is not liable
to ferment or to become mildewed. Being free from any agglutinative agent,
it does not adhere to the dough, while on the other hand it forms a species of
insulating layer between the wall of the trough, tin or other article and the
dough.
The new material may be prepared in any degree of fineness, and is the only
preparation of this class that fully attains the object for which the besprinkling
of bread and pastry supporting surfaces is resorted to; for, instead of forming
as hitherto an unsavoury crust at the bottom of the bread or the like, when its
baking is completed, it leaves the bottom-surface of the bread or the like perfectly
clean; as any particles of the wood-meal that might adhere to the dough before
baking would be charred away in the oven. It further affords the advantage of
being less expensive than the materials hitherto employed.
The tins moulds or other surfaces floured with the new powder, unlike those
which have been besprinkled with the old preparations, are at all times readily
kept perfectly clean.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declard that what I
claim is:
Powdered wood used as a material for preventing dough from adhering to the
surface of tins, plates or like vessels or supports, while the said dough is being
worked and moulded or laked, essentially as described.
