A transfer mechanism for transferring food product from a compartment of a food processing system includes a conduit having a first end portion configured to be in communication with the compartment and a second end portion, a fluid discharge positioned substantially within the conduit between the first end portion and the second end portion, and a pressurized fluid source in communication with the fluid discharge. The pressurized fluid source is operable to propel a fluid through the fluid discharge to move the food product from the first end portion of the conduit toward the second end portion.

1. A food processing system comprising: a compartment operable to process a food product; anda transfer mechanism for transferring food product from the compartment;the transfer mechanism including: a conduit including a first end portion, including an inlet conduit section, wherein food product enters the transfer mechanism through the inlet conduit section, and wherein the inlet conduit section has a a circumference, the first end portion configured to be in communication with the compartment, wherein the first end portion of the conduit is configured to be positioned below a fluid level in the compartment,a main conduit section, wherein the main conduit section has a cross-section, anda second end portion, wherein the second end portion of the conduit is configured to be positioned above the fluid level in the compartmentthe inlet conduit section having an inlet end in fluid communication with the compartment and an opposite end with an outer surface, andthe main conduit section having a first end with an inner surface, the opposite end of the inlet conduit section being inserted in the first end of the main conduit section;a fluid discharge positioned substantially within the conduit between the first end portion and the second end portion, the fluid discharge including a slot at least partially defined between the outer surface of the opposite end of the inlet conduit section and the inner surface of the first end of the main conduit section, wherein the fluid discharge includes a slot at least partially defined between the outer surface of the opposite end of the inlet conduit section and the inner surface of the first end of the main conduit section; anda pressurized fluid source in communication with the fluid discharge, the pressurized fluid source operable to propel a fluid through the through the slot to move the food product from the first end portion of the conduit toward the second end portion. 2. The food processing system of claim 1, wherein the first end portion of the conduit is configured to be positioned below the fluid level in the compartment, wherein the second end portion of the conduit is configured to be positioned above a fluid level in the compartment, and wherein the conduit includes a substantially vertical portion between the first end portion and the second end portion. 3. The food processing system of claim 1, further comprising a dewatering member in communication with the second end portion of the conduit, wherein the dewatering member receives the food product and the fluid from the conduit and facilitates separating the food product from the fluid. 4. The food processing system of claim 3, further comprising a convex guide member positioned between the second end portion of the conduit and the dewatering member, wherein the convex guide member directs the food product and the fluid from the conduit into the dewatering member. 5. The food processing system of claim 4, wherein the convex guide member and the dewatering member form a generally inverted V-shape. 6. The food processing system of claim 4, and further comprising an outlet pipe in fluid communication between the pressurized fluid source and the fluid discharge, the outlet pipe including a main pipe section in fluid communication with the pressurized fluid source, a first pipe section in fluid communication between the main pipe section and the first-mentioned opening, anda second pipe section in fluid communication between the main pipe section and the second opening. 7. The food processing system of claim 6, wherein the pressurized fluid source includes a pump operable to supply fluid through the outlet pipe and through the first slot and the second slot. 8. The food processing system of claim 1, wherein the compartment is operable to at least one of cook and cool the food product. 9. The food processing system of claim 1, wherein the transfer mechanism transfers the food product from the compartment out of the food processing system. 10. The food processing system of claim 1, and further comprising a second compartment operable to process the food product, wherein the second end portion of the conduit is in communication with the second compartment to transfer the food product from the compartment to the second compartment. 11. The food processing system of claim 10, wherein the first compartment is operable to cook the food product and the second compartment is operable to cool the food product.
