Abstract
A food material placed into a frying box 3 is immersed into an impregnation tank 50 containing a processing liquid under a depressurization in a throw-in preliminary chamber 9 and then, the substitution of the water in the food material with the processing liquid is conducted by exposure to the atmosphere. The food material impregnated with the processing liquid in the above manner is subjected to a frying under a depressurization in a fryer body 1. A fried food product is oil-cut away under a depressurization in a discharge preliminary chamber 10 by an oil cutting-away vibrator and then cooled rapidly by a cooling gas blown from a pipe 49. This treatment causes the surface of the fried food product to be solidified rapidly, thereby providing an expanded fried product having a crispy eating feel without shrinkage.
