| SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION |
|
|
| The Henny Penny pressure fryer is a basic unit of food pro- |
| cessing equipment which is used only in institutional and commercial |
| food service operations. |
| A combination of pressure, heat, and time is automatically |
| controlled to produce the optimum in a tasty, appealing |
| product. |
Pressure | Pressure is basic to this method of food preparation. The pres- |
| sure is developed from the natural moisture of the food. The |
| patented lid traps this moisture and uses it as steam. Because |
| the steam builds rapidly, a greater part of the natural juices |
| are retained within the food. An operation valve vents excess |
| steam from the pot and maintains constant live steam |
| pressure. |
Heat | Heat generated is another important factor of the pressure fryer. |
| Energy savings is realized due to the unit’s short frying time, |
| low temperature, and heat retention of the stainless steel |
| frypot. |
Time | Time is important because the shorter time involved in frying |
| foods results in additional economies for the user. Foods are |
| table ready in less time than it would take to fry them in a con- |
| ventional |
