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. The oil tank suppresses oxidation of oil by applying an electric field by applying a high voltage of several hundred to several thousand volts from a high voltage application device between the casing and the fryer 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.

In order to solve the above problems, in Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-173219 filed by the applicant of the present application, an electrode plate for forming an electric field 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 to the electrode plate, or an electric field forming and output from the high voltage generator on the back surface of the lifting basket. A lifting basket with an electric field forming device was proposed in which electrode wires for applying a high voltage were laid in a loop or wave shape.

  However, in the lifting basket with an electric field forming device commercialized based on the above Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-173219, the high voltage output from the high voltage generator is arranged in the rear portion of the lifting basket. An electrode wire for applying to the electrode plate is connected, or an electrode wire for applying a high voltage directly from an electrode wire laid in a loop shape or a wave shape on the back surface of the lifting basket. For this reason, when raising the frying basket from the inside of the oil tank and turning it over and taking out the deep-fried food inside, the electrode wire may become an obstacle, resulting in a problem that workability deteriorates.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and in a frying basket for frying a small amount of fried food in an oil tank of a fryer, a high voltage output from a high voltage generator is applied to an electrode plate. By separating the electrode wire for applying a high voltage directly to the electrode wire to be applied to the electrode wire or the loop shape or the wave shape, together with the frying cage, the lifting basket is pulled up from the inside of the oil tank and turned inside out. An object of the present invention is to provide a fried basket with an electric field forming device in which an electrode wire does not get in the way when a deep-fried food is taken out.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the frying basket with an electric field forming device of the present invention, an electrode plate for forming an electric field is disposed on the inner bottom surface of the frying basket for placing a small amount of fried food in the fryer oil tank. In addition, an opening equal to or slightly narrower than the electrode plate is provided on the bottom surface of the lifting basket.

  Also, an oil tank electrode for inducing an electric field by contacting the electrode plate is disposed above the heat pipe in the oil tank, and a high voltage output from the high voltage generator is applied to the electrode plate of the oil tank electrode. An electrode line for directly applying a high voltage is disposed on the electrode line for forming the electrode line or the electrode line laid in a loop shape or a wave shape.

  If the lifting basket with the electric field forming device of the present invention is used, the electrode wire for applying the high voltage output from the high voltage generator to the electrode plate of the electrode in the oil tank or the electrode wire laid in a loop shape or a wave shape Since the structure is such that the electrode wire for directly applying a high voltage is separated from the fried car, the fry basket is pulled up from the oil tank and turned over, and when removing the fried food inside, the electrode line does not get in the way, and workability Has a tremendous effect of improving dramatically.
