Description

  The present invention relates to a fryer for frying fried foods such as fries and tempura, and it has an effect of suppressing the oxidation of oil by forming an electric field in the oil tank and finishing the fried food deliciously or reducing oil smoke and oily odor. The present invention relates to a basket with a forming device.

  Conventionally, a fryer is used when fried a large amount of fried foods such as canteens and catered lunch boxes for business use. When frying a large amount of frying, tempura, etc. using the fryer, it was necessary to frequently replace it with new oil due to the deterioration of taste and flavor due to oxidation of the oil. For this reason, there has been a problem that it takes time and money.

In order to solve this problem, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 10-179419 and 10-276744, etc., a wire mesh or a current plate is disposed above the heat pipe in the oil tank of the fryer, and the wire mesh or current plate. An oil tank that suppresses the oxidation of oil by applying a high voltage of several hundred to several thousand volts from the high voltage application device between the casing and the fryer casing, and further activates the molecules in the fried food material Devices that reduce oil smoke and oily odor by reducing bubbles and water bubbles generated in the interior have been proposed and commercialized.

  However, the fryer electric field forming device commercialized based on the above publications, etc., is installed in advance on the heat pipe in the oil tank in the new fryer with the electric field forming device, but in the existing fryer without the electric field forming device Since the size in the oil tank differs depending on the manufacturer and type of the fryer, it is necessary to go to the place where the fryer is installed to check the size and mounting method, and it is time consuming and expensive. There was a problem. Therefore, in the case of a store with a small amount of fried food, there is a problem that an expensive electric field forming device cannot be easily used.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. An electric field forming device having an effect of suppressing the oxidation of oil and finishing the fried food deliciously or reducing oil smoke and oily odor is provided. An object of the present invention is to provide a fried basket with an electric field forming device that can be easily used even in a small-sized store.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the first invention of the frying basket with an electric field forming device according to the present invention is that an electrode plate for electric field formation is arranged inside a frying basket for frying a small amount of fried food in a fryer oil tank. And an electrode wire for applying a high voltage output from the high voltage generator is connected to the electrode plate.

  In addition, the second invention in the frying basket with an electric field forming device of the present invention is the electric field forming and the high voltage output from the high voltage generator on the back of the frying basket for frying a small amount of fried food in the fryer oil tank. An electrode wire for applying a voltage is laid in a loop shape or a wave shape.

  If you use a frying basket with an electric field forming device of the present invention to fry deep-fried foods, the frying basket that can be used with any size fryer is equipped with an electric field forming device, so the amount of fried food is small. Even in stores where expensive electric field forming devices cannot be attached to the fryer, the electric field forming device can be used easily. For this reason, the effect of suppressing the oxidation of oil and finishing fried food deliciously or reducing the oil smoke and oily odor can be easily obtained.
