The present invention relates to a frying machine, and more particularly, to easily produce a grain confectionery called frying.

Fried fried foods are heat-molded various grains such as rice or corn, and are provided to consumers in various forms. In recent years, fried foods have carbohydrates as their main ingredient, and they are gaining popularity as diet foods because they are hungry even if you eat a little.

The manufacturing principle of this frying is that when the grain is put into a sealed container and heated, the water vapor in the grain expands and the pressure inside the container increases, and the grain has a force to push in to withstand the pressure. When the container is opened, the pressure is lowered instantaneously to produce a boil-off, using the principle that the force of the grain, which endured the high pressure, breaks the shell and expands more than several times. Thus prepared fry is porous, starch contained in the grain is changed to dextrin, so there is an advantage that the digestion is good even if eaten.
