And now let's toast schnitzel!
Wed Oct 17, 2007 2:00pm EDT

BERLIN (Reuters) - Not enough time to fry your own schnitzel? A German
firm has come up with a frozen version that can be cooked in a pop-up
toaster in just three minutes.

"We came up with them because increasingly people want something that's
convenient," said Dietrich Gumppenberg, spokesman for meat-producer
Toennies. "Who has time to go to the trouble of frying something
themselves?"

The toasted version is made of pork coated in bread crumbs. It is sold
frozen and can be cooked in any toaster in three minutes.

Toennies unveiled the product, which has been two years in the making,
at a food and beverage fair in Cologne Wednesday.

"There has been a great deal of interest," Gumppenberg said, adding that
several large grocery chains, including some in China, are considering
stocking them. "The schnitzels don't ooze grease or burn when you put
them in the toaster."

"But how exactly that works will remain a company secret. We're
patenting our invention."
