Abstract
The main container of a deep fat fryer has electrical tubular heaters outside the frying fat area and integrated in thermally conductive manner into the walls of a flow circulating shaft and which heat the frying fat in the case of upwardly directed flows through flow channels and consequently keep it in continuous flow circuit by means of a rising flow channel. For temperature regulation purposes is provided a fat temperature sensor which directly taps the fat temperature and also a temperature sensor in the form of a running dry protection means, which taps the temperature directly on the tubular heaters or the associated wall.
