AUTOMATED FRYER FILTRATION DEVICE AND METHOD WHERE THE OIL IS FILTERED AFTER A PREDETERMINED VALUE IS REACHED BASED ON THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FOOD COOKED AND THE TOTAL ELAPSED TIME THE OIL HAS BEEN HEATED

摘要

A method of cooking food product in cooking oil, comprises monitoring the amount of food product cooked in the oil since the last filtration of the cooking oil while simultaneously monitoring the elapsed time the cooking oil has been heated to elevated temperatures since the last filtration of the cooking oil and filtering the oil when a predetermined threshold value is reached. The determination of whether the predetermined threshold value has been reached is based upon on a combination of both the simultaneously monitored elapsed time during which the cooking oil has been heated to the elevated temperatures since the last filtration and the amount of the food product cooked since the last filtration.
