Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an apparatus for solving the inevitable oil splatter when frying Japanese-style tempura.

Traditionally, when frying tempura, people have had to worry about the inevitable splashing of oil, and have struggled to find countermeasures. However, the current situation was that there was no definitive countermeasure and people were giving up halfway.

The present invention has identified the cause of oil scattering when frying Japanese-style tempura, and has taken countermeasures against the problem.

One of the causes of oil splattering is when the ingredients to be fried are coated with water and batter, which are mostly flour.
It's about frying. Some, like squid, have a thin skin on the material itself. etc. are possible. This is when you put it in oil. The batter will be cooked first. This creates a protective coating on the material. The moisture in the material that comes out later is
It becomes difficult to get out of the clothing because it is blocked by the protective film of the clothing. When this happens, the water gets heated up and turns into water vapor. Eventually, the thin part of the batter is pushed up from the inside of the batter, creating a semicircular cavity.
The water vapor overcomes the cavity and destroys it. At this moment of destruction, the oil on the oil surface is blown away.

The aforementioned phenomenon is often experienced. For example, when baking mochi. The moisture contained in the mochi forms a hard film on the surface of the rice cake that is baked first, which prevents moisture from draining. The water turns into steam, pushing up the weak parts of the hard surface film and creating semicircular bumps. Eventually, this bump also succumbed to the pressure of the steam,
Steam gushes out violently from the bump, and the bump wilts.

Mochi is exposed to the atmosphere, so it doesn't have much of an effect, but if you put it in oil and fry it, it will almost certainly repel the oil.

When frying tempura. The cause of the oil splattering has been determined. Therefore, one way to prevent oil from splattering is to forcibly keep the tempura ingredients submerged in the oil without letting them rise to the surface of the oil, so that the oil itself acts as a lid.

This will be explained in detail based on the drawings.

When tempura contains water, due to the difference in specific gravity between oil and water, the water, which is heavier than the oil, sinks and the oil separates to the top. As you can see from this, the tempura ingredients, which contain moisture, sit at the bottom of the pot and heat the oil to separate the moisture. Then, as the moisture in the material is removed and the material becomes lighter as it cooks, the specific gravity of the oil will prevail.
The material will float to the surface of the oil. Then, it floats on the oil surface and waits for it to catch fire. when in this state.
This causes the oil splatter phenomenon mentioned above. To prevent this phenomenon, it is best to prevent the material from coming into contact with the oil surface. In oil, water becomes foam and rises to the surface of the oil. Then it goes out into the water. In this way, it acts as a lid to prevent oil from splattering.

FIG. 1 is an enlarged illustration of the slope portion of the pot bottom, partition blades, and presser blades of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an enlarged plan view corresponding to the side view of FIG. 1, and the slope portion will be explained in a straight line state. In practice, A and B refer to the sides of the pot, and A is the inner ring. Then, B is formed as an outer ring. The state is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The partition blades in Figure 5 are stored in Figure 3. 1a is the climbing slope, the partition blades are assumed to rotate counterclockwise, and in Figure 3, they move from left to right, 2 tempura pits, 1b Consists of a downward slope and configuration. The procedure for frying tempura is to dip the tempura ingredients into the batter and add them to the 1b slope. At this time, the state of the partition blade is such that it is placed in the compartment formed between 6a and 6b. At this time, the presser blade 7a is in an upright state. Since the partition blades and presser blades move at equal intervals, the state will eventually shift from state b to state c. When the partition blade 6c comes, the presser blade 7c opens in a horizontal state below the C oil level. Then, in this state, it goes around the four oil grooves formed in a ring shape and moves to 6e and 7e. Up to 7e, the presser blades are open below the oil level. At 7f, the presser blade stands upright and finishes its role as a presser. And 7f, 7g, 7
7a is made to stand upright so as not to interfere with material input. The partition blade climbs the 1a slope and moves to the tempura pit in 2.
The climbing slope 1a also serves as a drainer for the finished tempura, and is also a device that automatically guides the tempura out of the pot. The slope on side A of the pot is a preventive wall to prevent the tempura from falling into the inner ring of the pot.
The inner ring of the pot can be used as a guide rail for the partition blades. However, a guide rail for controlling the partition blades is separately provided inside the inner ring of the pot. By doing this, you will not lower the temperature of the pot and will not lead the oil out of the pot. It is preferable to use separate guide rails. An example of a vertical drive device for partition blades and presser blades will be explained with reference to FIG. 9 is the vertically movable arm of the partition blade, 18
4 from the rotating base through the 17 vertical sliding parts
Extends to the top of the oil groove. The vertically movable arms of the 9 partition blades are vertically movable by 11 rollers controlled by the 12 partition blade vertical guide rails. The end of this arm is connected to six partition blades, allowing the partition blades to be moved up and down. Then, the arm is provided with 19 vertical slide grooves for opening the presser blade, 10 is attached with a presser blade upper and lower bending arm, and a flexible tool is provided at the tip of this arm and 7 presser blade, and the 20 hanging arm is attached. 7 Open and close the presser blade. At this time, the 6 partition blades and the 7 presser blades are connected by 21 movable parts. The 7 presser blades can be moved up and down by rollers 13 that are in contact with the 14 presser blade upper and lower guide rails. 8 is an oil passage hole, provided to reduce oil resistance. 7th
The side view which shows the state of 6 partition blades and 7 presser blades of a figure. Note that the 7 presser blades can also be attached in the opposite direction to the advancing direction of the 6 partition blades, so to speak, on the back side.

This tempura pot has a ring-shaped oil groove, allowing you to efficiently fry tempura using less tempura oil. Furthermore, since a slope is provided, the partition blade moves within the ring-shaped oil groove, runs up the slope, drains the oil, and automatically drops the fried tempura food into the hole in the pan without taking a break. lead outside. The pressing blade prevents the tempura from floating and prevents oil from scattering, allowing both sides of the tempura to be fried at the same time. By using the above-mentioned method, even the kasu (tempura lees) is led out of the pot, so the kasu (tempura lees) is not overcooked and charred, so the oil liquid can always remain beautiful. This device can be operated by one person, which has the advantage of reducing labor costs.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. Using a deep fryer in a ring or close to a ring shape, such as the shape of a Roman letter C.
This pot has 4 oil grooves, and 1 slope in the oil groove, and the 6 partition blades rotate in a circle inside the oil groove and move the partition blades up and down, making the partition blades slope. The tempura is pushed up from the oil groove and guided to the 2-tempura pit.In the C type, it is guided outside the pot, and in the oil liquid, the tempura is held by the 7-holding blade. This is a tempura pot that prevents oil from scattering by forcibly holding down the tempura to prevent the tempura from floating, and the oil itself filled in the oil groove acts as a lid to prevent oil from splattering.
