  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

  In the first embodiment for carrying out the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, reference numeral 1 denotes a flyer according to the present invention, and this flyer 1 is a pedestal having casters 2, 2, 2, 2 attached to the four corners of the bottom surface. 3, a storage tank 4 for storing water and oil for fried food fixed on the pedestal 3, and an oil layer 5 in which the oil of the storage tank 4 can be heated. The wall surface of the storage tank 4 is reduced so that the area of the boundary surface 10 between the electric heater 8 in which the wire mesh 7 is arranged on the upper part of the heating unit 6 and the oil layer 5 of the storage tank 4 and the water layer 9 where water is located is reduced. At least one or more inclined surfaces 11, 11 for dropping water or fried scum into the water layer 9, the upper surfaces of which both ends are fixed to 4 a, 4 a being dropped into the water layer 9, a predetermined interval in the embodiment of the present invention 3 baseball home base contour cylindrical member-shaped Air enters and cools the inside of the partition bodies 12, 12, 12 formed on the cut bodies 12, 12, 12 and the wall surfaces 4 a, 4 a to which both ends of the partition bodies 12, 12, 12 are attached. And the bottom plate 15 of the inclined surface 14 serving as a shooter fixed to the lower surface of the storage tank 4, and the wall 4 a of the storage tank 4 at a portion located below the bottom plate 15. A discharge pipe 17 for discharging water and oil from the storage tank 4 provided with the open / close valve 16 and a discharge pipe mounted so that water located above the boundary surface 10 of the storage tank 4 can be drained to the outside. The opening / closing valve 26 and one end thereof is located at the lower position in the vicinity of the bottom surface 12b of the partition 12, 12, 12, and the other end is located outside the storage tank 4 via the opening / closing valve 28. It is comprised with the path | route 29. FIG.

  The storage tank 4 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a bottom portion closed using, for example, a transparent heat-resistant glass as wall materials 19, 19, 19, 19 and a bottom plate 15 using a heat-resistant adhesive 18 that can withstand a temperature of 700 ° C. It is comprised so that the inside can be observed from the outside.

  In the fryer 1 having the above configuration, the opening / closing valve 28 of the discharge passage 29 is closed, the discharge opening / closing valve 26 is opened, water is poured into the storage tank 4 from above, and water is drained from the discharge opening / closing valve 26. By the way, stop putting water.

  When the water drained from the discharge opening / closing valve 26 no longer comes out, that is, when the water level is positioned at the substantially central part of the vertical members 12a, 12a, 12a, 12a, 12a, 12a of the partitions 12, 12, 12 The open / close valve 26 is closed to form the water layer 9.

  Next, the oil for deep-fried food is put into the storage tank 4 from the top until the work of the deep-fried food can be efficiently performed, and the oil layer 5 is formed.

  In this state, the oil is heated to an optimum temperature at which the oil in the oil layer 5 is heated by the electric heater 8 to perform fried food.

  Even when the temperature of the oil layer 5 reaches an optimum temperature for fried food, the area of the boundary surface 10 between the oil layer 5 and the water layer 9 is reduced by the plurality of partitions 12, 12, 12. It is difficult for the water temperature of the layer 9 to rise, and it is possible to swim fish, goldfish 20 and the like in the water layer 9.

  When the temperature of the oil layer 5 reaches the optimum temperature for fried food, ingredients for fried foods such as croquettes, tempura, and fried potatoes are put into the oil layer 5 to perform fried food.

  At this time, the frying residue generated when the fried food is being carried out is mostly from the oil layer 5 into the water layer 9 from the inclined surfaces 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, of the plurality of partitions 12, 12, 12. Since it falls and can be recovered from the oil layer 5, the deterioration of the oil in the oil layer 5 can be effectively prevented.

  Further, when shower water is sprayed onto the oil when the temperature of the oil in the oil layer 5 is present, the dust attached to the oil particles can be dropped into the water layer 9 together with the shower water to regenerate the oil.

  At this time, since the water is heavier than oil and falls into the water layer 9 before the water evaporates, the shower water can be safely jetted without splashing.

  When the oil (waste oil) for fried food in the oil layer 5 of the storage tank 4 is extracted after the operation is finished, the fried food is discharged from the open / close valve 26 for discharging fried oil (waste oil) in the oil layer 5 by opening the discharge open / close valve 26. When the open / close valve 28 of the discharge passage 29 is opened when the oil (waste oil) stops being discharged, the water located above the opening 27 of the discharge passage 29 in the lower position near the bottom surface of the partition bodies 12, 12, 12, Further, the frying oil (waste oil) positioned between the partitions 12, 12, 12 can be discharged outside through the discharge passage 29. This discharge contains frying oil (waste oil) and water, but can be easily processed in very small quantities.

  At this time, since the water layer 9 below the opening 27 of the discharge passage 29 remains as it is, the fried food oil can be discharged and charged without moving the fish or the goldfish 20.
