A device for preparing a whipped food, including a container portion that
contains a food component and that is configured for receiving a fluid
for mixing with the food component to produce a fluid mixture. A film
conditioning conduit is associated with the container portion to receive
the fluid mixture with gas bubbles entrained therein as a food product.
The conduit includes a restriction channel associated with the container
portion downstream thereof to receive the food product. The restriction
channel has a cross-section sufficiently small and a length sufficiently
large to selectively feed bubbles in the food product that are smaller
than a preselected maximum bubble size. The conduit also includes a
deceleration channel and fluid communication with the restriction channel
downstream thereof to receive the food product. The deceleration channel
substantially reduces the flow speed of the food product. An outlet
downstream of and in fluid association with the deceleration channel
dispenses the slowed food product.
