<p>Method and apparatus for deep frying of chicken serving pieces in which the chicken serving pieces are immersed in cooking oil contained in a cooking chamber having a valve controlled discharge outlet at its lower end, and a filter unit within the cooking chamber through which the oil flows on being discharged from the chamber, in which, when filtering of the cooking oil is desized, the chamber is sealed as for pressure cooking and is connected to a source of compressed air for pressure discharging of the cooking oil through the chamber outlet, and thus through the filter unit, into a holding container located at atmospheric pressure conditions, after which the chamber is opened for cleaning purposes and cleaning and replacement of the filter unit. After the filter unit replacement is applied to its operating position within the chamber, the chamber is again sealed as for pressure cooking purposes and then is connected to a source of vacuum to enable atmospheric pressure acting on the oil to return the oil to the chamber through its outlet and the filter unit, whereby a second filtering of the reusable cooking oil is obtained. Enough new cooking oil is then added to the cooking chamber to bring the cooking oil level up to its desired level.</p> |
