Abstract
Provided is a non-splatter cooking oil even when water is mixed during heating. A magnetic field having a frequency higher than 200 kHz is applied to an edible oil.
Claims8
A producing apparatus for a non-splatter cooking oil comprising:
- a circulation flow path configured to have an upstream end and a downstream end connected to a storage tank that stores an edible oil;
- a pump configured to cause the edible oil in the circulation flow path to flow in one direction;
- a magnetic field generation device including at least one electromagnet having a first end and a second end portions, each of the first and second end portions forming a magnetic pole of opposite polarity, disposed outside a pipe of the circulation flow path, in which the at least one electromagnet extends in a radial direction with respect to a central axis of the circulation flow path such that the first end portion of the at least one electromagnet faces toward the circulation flow path and the second end portion of the at least one electromagnet faces away from the circulation flow path, and an alternating magnetic field having a frequency higher than 200 kHz is applied to the edible oil flowing through the circulation flow path using the at least one electromagnet as a generation source of the alternating magnetic field, while the edible oil remains confined within the pipe, wherein the application of the alternating magnetic field subdivides the edible oil so as to suppress spattering caused by water droplets or water contained in a food ingredient added in the edible oil when the edible oil is heated.
