Abstract:
1. A method of deep frying a unitary article of food, the method comprising steps of: affixing a support frame to a unitary article of food, wherein the support frame is operable for fluid flow in a horizontal and vertical direction relative to the food, such that at least a portion of the support frame is disposed internally to the unitary article of food such that the food is fixed on the support frame at a set depth relative to hot oil disposed in an associated vessel, wherein the support frame is fluid permeable horizontally and vertically relative to the unitary food article; placing the support frame and affixed article of food into the hot oil such that the support frame is separated from an associated heating element by an associated perforate screen disposed at a generally fixed distance from the support frame; executing a first food cooking session which includes cooking part of, but less than all of, the unitary article of food by heat transferred to the article of food via hot oil, the cooking being accomplished by immersing part of, but less than all of, the unitary article of food in the hot oil while the unitary article of food is in direct continuous contact with a support which does not move during cooking; and in a second food cooking session, repositioning the unitary article of food relative to the hot oil such that parts of the unitary article of food which were not immersed in the hot oil during the first food cooking session, become immersed during the second food cooking session.
