The oil is circulated by jet tubes through the tank at high speed to produce turbulence. This removes particles from heating surfaces in the tank and suspends them in the oil bath. The oil containing the suspension is removed from the tank, and the suspension is separated from the oil, usually be filtering. The filtered oil is then recycled to the tank.The process reduces oil loss due to contamination caused by food particles burned or otherwise, and is particularly suited for cooking breaded or batter coated foods such as poultry, meat, fish, etc., and for cooking food that has particles adhering thereto, such as turkey, meat, potatoes, tortilla chips, and so forth.Field of SearchWith crumb or sediment segregating or handling | |
