DESCRIZIONE
Breaded food (10), preferably ready to eat food preparable in microwave, comprises a water-containing food portion having a dry breading (16), and a moisture barrier (14) that is free of unbound water, applied between the water-containing food portion and dry breading. The moisture barrier comprises vegetable fat present in non-flowable state together with at least one protein at least at -10[deg] C, and serves as obstructing and thickening agent on exposing to heat during cooking. The dry breading is made from heat-treated breading pieces and is covered by a water-impermeable protective layer. An independent claim is also included for producing the breaded food, comprising covering the food portion with the liquid moisture barrier, preferably completely, and subsequently performing the dry breading with heat-treated breading pieces, where at least the surface of the moisture barrier is liquid.
