Apparatus for coating an item with a dry particulate material. An electrically operated sifter in a dry coating assembly generates a shower of the dry particulate material which coats the items held in an open mesh basket. A collector recovers residual material which can then be returned to the sifter. Extraneous clumps formed from the dry particulate material and any liquid coating can be readily removed from the sifter. An optional wet coating assembly allows an operator to coat the items with a batter before the application of the dry particulate material.

What is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent of the United States is: 1. Apparatus for hand breading food items by applying a dry particulate breading material to batter-covered food items, said apparatus comprising:A) a support with a counter that defines, in a vertical alignment, a sifter station spaced above said counter, a coating station intermediate the sifter station and said counter, and a collection station extending downwardly from said counter,B) sifter means for sifting dry particulate matter to produce a shower of sifted dry particulate material, said sifter means being attached to said support at the sifter station,C) basket means for inserting a batter coated food item into the coating station whereby the food item in said basket means is coated with at least a portion of the sifted dry particulate material when said sifter means operates and produces the dry particulate breading material shower, andD) collector means for receiving residual material that fails to coat the food item in said basket means, said collector means being attached to said support at the collection station.
