<p>[Problem] To improve the taste of deep-fried food and more effectively suppress oil oxidation and degradation by irradiating a food material with radio waves in a fryer radio wave generation device for generating radio waves in an oil tank, and a cooking method using this device. [Solution] A fryer radio wave generation device (2) installed in a fryer for deep-frying a food material housed in an oil tank (11) comprises a pair of sheet electrodes (21, 22) which are disposed with a space therebetween, and an oscillator which passes a high-frequency current through the sheet electrode (21), the pair of sheet electrodes (21, 22) are installed in the oil tank (11) of the fryer (1) so as to be electrically insulated from the oil tank (11), and the sheet electrode (22) is connected to the ground. When the high-frequency current is passed through the sheet electrode (21) from the oscillator, an oscillating current is induced between the pair of sheet electrodes (21, 22) to thereby generate radio waves, and the food material in the oil tank (11) is cooked while being irradiated with the radio waves.</p> |
