ABSTRACT:
A continuous-filtering fryer apparatus for continuous filtering of cooking oil while cooking having a tank with a bottom and side walls extending from the bottom, an inlet port extending into the interior of the tank, an outlet port affixed to the tank and in communication with an interior of the tank adjacent a bottom of the tank, a pump connected to the inlet port and to the outlet port so as to draw cooking oil from the tank and to pass the cooking oil to the inlet port, heating elements extending into the interior of the interior of the tank, and a filter plate attached to the inlet port adjacent to the bottom of the tank for removing particles from the cooking oil. The inlet port is positioned so as to be below the level of cooking oil in the tank. The filter plate has a first mesh screen, a second mesh screen, and a layer of porous material sandwiched between the mesh screens. A lower cap is threadedly connected to the outlet port and an upper cap is threadedly connected to the lower cap with the mesh screens and porous material layer interposed between the lower cap and the upper cap. A method for continuously filtering cooking oil while frying comprising circulation of cooking oil through a mesh screen and related piping returning the cooking oil to the tank until an aggregation of particulate matter accumulates on the outside surface of the mesh screen and thereafter continually circulating the cooking oil during frying operation.
