Claim:
A method for frying products, comprising the sequential steps of: exposing products to heated fat at a vacuum pressure, removal of fat from said products by introducing the products into a centrifuge chamber of a centrifuge, centrifuging the products in said centrifuge chamber, while under the vacuum pressure, as a centrifuge treatment step forming centrifuged products, discharging the centrifuged products directly from said centrifuge chamber through a bottom valve of the centrifuge via an inlet valve of a sluice chamber located at the bottom of said centrifuge chamber and connected with an outlet valve of said sluice chamber closed to the atmosphere during said centrifuging treatment step, wherein, at the end of the centrifuge treatment step, with said inlet valve open, said bottom valve is opened to immediately discharge said centrifuged products from said centrifuge chamber directly to said sluice chamber, and after which immediate discharge of the centrifuged products to said sluice chamber, the inlet valve is closed and the outlet valve is opened, wherein during the step of removal of fat by introducing the products into the centrifuge chamber, the introduction of said products is done while said centrifuge chamber is rotated.
