Abstract

The present invention provides a frying device comprising a cooking unit that cooks an object requiring cooking, which is placed upright in a liquid frying material filled inside, by allowing the object to remain submerged while maintaining an upright state within the liquid frying material, or by automatically submerging the object while maintaining an upright state within the liquid frying material when the object rises to the top of the liquid frying material. Therefore, to minimize the fryer capacity, the object requiring cooking that is inserted vertically maintains its vertical state, rotates by set angles so that the object stops at a set position, and prevents the object from floating up due to buoyancy, thereby allowing it to be fried evenly.

Description

Frying apparatus The present invention relates to a frying device, and more specifically, to a frying device in which a target object requiring cooking is fried evenly without changing the position of the target object during cooking. A deep fryer is a device that cooks food by frying it in a frying oil, such as edible oil, cooking oil, or palm oil. In most commonly used deep fryers, the food is coated with frying flour after being mixed with water, and then placed into the fryer to be fried. Taking pork cutlets as an example, the pork is first pounded with a meat mallet to achieve an appropriate thickness. Then, it is seasoned and coated with frying flour to prepare the food. If the food is not to be consumed within a short period, it is packaged and frozen. The frozen food is then taken out, laid flat, and placed into the deep fryer to be fried. However, once placed into the fryer, the food does not remain inside the frying oil during the cooking process but floats to the surface. Therefore, if the object to be fried that has risen to the top of the frying oil is left as is, a problem arises where the degree of frying differs between the bottom part in contact with the frying oil and the top part exposed above the oil. To solve this problem, a worker typically performs the task of flipping the object to be fried at regular intervals. In other words, performing these tasks requires at least one worker; however, when handling a large number of items to be fried, multiple workers must monitor and flip the food throughout the cooking process, resulting in high labor consumption and increased manufacturing costs. This problem is particularly severe in establishments frequented by large crowds, such as pork cutlet restaurants.
