A fryer and method for cooking food products is provided that automates the movement of baskets carrying the food products. The fryer includes a cooking chamber with a heating element located therein for heating cooking medium in the cooking chamber. The fryer also includes at least one vertical transport assembly that selectively engages with and moves the basket vertically into and out of the cooking medium. A horizontal transport assembly selectively engages with and moves the basket horizontally between different positions. The horizontal transport assembly hands off the basket to and from the vertical transport assembly, and first and second hooks on the horizontal transport assembly engage with front and rear receiving mechanisms on the basket to continuously maintain at least two points of contact with the basket. This allows for controlled pivotal movements of the basket when food products are to be added or removed from the basket.

A fryer includes

a frying tank adapted to contain a cooking liquid;

a pump adapted to suck from the frying tank, by suction duct, a portion of the cooking liquid and adapted to discharge into the frying tank, by a discharge duct, the portion of the cooking liquid;

The fryer also includes a heater associated with the suction duct and/or the discharge duct and adapted to heat the cooking liquid flowing through the suction duct and/or through the discharge duct, the cooking liquid being heated only by the heater; and

at least one mixer associated with the suction duct and/or discharge duct and adapted to mix cooking liquid flowing through the suction duct and/or discharge duct. The mixer is placed immediately upstream or downstream, or in correspondence with the heater to improve the heat exchange of the cooking liquid with the heater.

A frying unit, comprising an oil pan (1) which is essentially open on top, a transport unit (2), using which a basket (3) is movable from a filling position into the interior of the oil pan (1) and using which the basket (3) is movable from the interior of the oil pan (1) into an emptying position, wherein the oil pan (1) is designed in such a way that it can accommodate multiple baskets (3) simultaneously, and the transport unit (2) is designed in such a way that the baskets (3) are movable independently of one another.

A food frying and distribution device is used to pre-cook frozen food for storage and subsequent dispensing. The apparatus is configured to fry food to near completion, to store that food, and to then finish cooking upon consumer request, thereby reducing cooking time. The apparatus includes a housing, a frozen-foods inlet, a fried-foods outlet, at least one fryer basin, a first frying basket, a second frying basket, a first conveyor, a second conveyor, a vending mechanism, and a control unit. The housing is the protective shell that allows for arrangement of components. The frozen-foods inlet is an opening through which a user may insert frozen foods for preparation and storage within the apparatus. Conversely, the fried-foods outlet is an opening through which fried foods may be obtained by a consumer. The general configuration of the aforementioned components allows the apparatus to efficiently and effectively generate fried food relatively quickly.

A fried food cart assembly for preparing fried treats in any location includes a cart that has a hitch which is coupled to the cart. A fryer is positioned in the cart to heat cooking oil for frying a food item. A cold storage unit is positioned in the cart to store perishable food items. A plurality of preparing shelves is each positioned in the cart to facilitate objects to be placed thereon. A point of sale unit is positioned in the cart to conduct financial transactions for patrons purchasing food that is prepared in the cart. An umbrella is positionable in the cart to shield the cart from precipitation and sunlight.

The present disclosure provides a grill shell structure for a grill, which comprises an inner chamber, a heat insulation member is accommodated in the inner chamber, and the heat insulation member is fixed on a grill shell by a fixing structure. A support body is arranged between a side of the heat insulation member facing an inner wall of the inner chamber and the inner wall of the inner chamber for support so that the heat insulation member is arranged spatially apart from an inner wall of the grill shell to form a heat insulation chamber between the heat insulation member and the inner wall of the grill shell.

The present invention relates to a processing apparatus, in which a flying oil is heated, disinfected and/or pasteurized, sterilized. The present invention further relates to a method to treat a flying oil with radio-frequency wave.

A stir fryer (1) which includes a pot (2) having a cavity to place ingredients to stir fry the ingredients, and which can be rotated, a heating medium (3) functionally coupled to the pot (2) to heat the pot (2), a rotational means (4) functionally coupled to the pot (2) to rotate the pot (2) symmetrically or eccentrically about an axis, and a rotation regulator (5) which regulates the rotational unit/component/etc. (4) to further regulate speed of rotation of the pot (2).
