PROCESS FOR PREPARING DRY FOOD

摘要

A process for preparing dry food comprising frying one or more food material(s) under reduced pressure in a frying tank equipped with many steam pipes on the side walls and at the bottom in such a way that these pipes surround the food material(s) to be fried to which a sufficient amount of pressurized steam is supplied to provide an appropriate amount of heat for preventing a rapid fall of the temperature at frying. The process of the present invention makes it possible to dry the food material(s) completely in a short period by the sufficient amount of heat supplied from the steam pipes to thereby prepare crisp food product(s) exhibiting an excellent texture.
