Abstract
A pressure fryer is provided including a cooking container having a pressure vent which is connected to a high pressure cylinder filled with carbon dioxide. An electromagnetic valve and a check valve are provided on the connecting tube between the pressure vent and the high pressure cylinder. A lid includes a safety valve and a pressure sensor. A controller opens and closes the safety valve and the pressure for the electromagnetic valve for supplying carbon dioxide into the cooking container based on the pressure therein which is obtained from the pressure sensor, such that the pressure in the cooking container can be maintained within a predetermined value.
Claims7
A pressure fryer comprising:
- a cooking container for containing cooking oil capable of being hermetically sealed;
- heating means for heating said cooking container;
- control means for controlling the operation of the heating means;
- temperature detecting means for detecting a temperature of the cooking oil,
- pressure gas supply means for supplying a pressure gas provided in said cooking container;
- and
- pressure adjusting means for adjusting the pressure in said cooking container within predetermined pressure range;
- wherein pressure is applied inside said cooking container by steam generated during cooking and by supplying said pressure gas with the stream;
- and
- wherein said pressure gas is carbon dioxide.
