PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To uniformize the density of noodles during the frying thereof in an oil in the upper and lower parts as much as possible in a process for producing instant noodles. SOLUTION: This apparatus for frying noodles 9 in an oil is obtained by installing an oil bath 1 containing a hot oil present therein and conveyors 2 and 3 for passing through the interior of the oil bath 1, equipping the conveyors 2 and 3 with many continuously arranged containers 7 and 8 for housing the noodles 9 and forming many holes for passing the hot oil through the interior of the containers 7 and 8 and is capable of frying the noodles 9 in the containers 7 and 8 in the oil by passing the conveyors 2 and 3 through the oil bath 1. Downwardly directed hot oil feed ports are faced onto the containers 7 and 8 in the conveyors 2 and 3 and the hot oil is thereby fed from the upper part of the noodles 9 thereto. As a result, the buoyancy of the noodles 9 is offset by the pressing force of the hot oil and the density of the noodles 9 is made even in the vertical directions. |
