<p>An apparatus for deep-frying food, including a window (22) of a transparent material which takes up at least a portion of a cover ( 5; 105; 205) and which extends at least partially at an angle or vertically. A vapor discharge channel (6) communicates with the inner space (3) of the pan. A cooling surface (7) is provided for cooling vapor, which cooling surface communicates with the inner space (3) via the vapor discharge channel (6). A storage reservoir (13) is used for storing condensate that has precipitated on the cooling surface (7), and a collecting gutter (21; 121; 221) serves for collecting condensate that has precipitated on the window (22). The collecting gutter (21; 121; 221) extends along a bottom end of the window (22) and includes a drain (30; 130), via which drain the collecting gutter (21; 121; 221) communicates also with the vapor discharge channel (6) for draining condensate to the vapor discharge channel (6). Furthermore, a provision for signalling deep-frying activity in response to heating by hot vapor is described.</p> |
