Description

Fryer

The invention relates to a food heating device, especially a fryer.

At present, the industry is frying all kinds of food (such as ribs, meatballs, tempura, stinky tofu, vegetables, etc.), and it uses various frying machines to fry to the required degree. , making the food more delicious. However, there are quite a lot of types of fryers currently on the market and designed in the industry, among which the electric heating method is the most convenient.

The known frying machine can have an oil tank and several heating rods, and the several heating rods are arranged in the oil tank. Food can be deep-fried by heating. However, in the above-mentioned conventional frying machine, since the heating rods are in direct contact with the frying oil, the surface temperature of the heating rods is too high, so that the frying oil volatilizes relatively quickly and easily causes the frying oil to deteriorate. Or, when the oil level is too low, it is easy to cause a fire due to the high temperature of the frying oil, which will endanger personal safety.

In view of this, known deep fryer really still needs to be improved.

In order to solve the above problems, the object of the present invention is to provide a frying machine which can improve the quality of frying and the safety of use.
