PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing fried products by which defective products caused when frying raw material to make fried products are reduced and an amount of oil required for producing the fried products is reduced: and to provide a vacuum fryer designed so as to reduce defective products when frying the raw material to make fried products and an amount of oil required for producing the fried products.SOLUTION: The method for producing fried products where the fried products are produced from raw material with a vacuum fryer (1), comprises a first fry process of agitating the raw material in an oil-in condition where the raw material is sunk under the oil surface L of the vacuum fryer 1 a second fry process of alternate repetition of agitation of the raw material in the oil-in condition and agitation of the raw material in an oil-surface condition while floated near the oil surface L in a first cycle and a third fry process of alternate repetition of agitation of the raw material in the oil-in condition and agitation of the raw material in the oil-surface condition in a second cycle shorter than the first cycle so that the time in the oil-in condition is the same or shorter as or than the time in the oil-surface condition.COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT【課題】素材をフライ製品にしたときの不良品を減少させる方法及び真空フライヤーを提供する。また、フライ製品を製造するのに必要な油量を減らす方法及び真空フライヤーを提供する。【解決手段】本発明は、素材からフライ製品を真空フライヤー(1)で製造する方法等に関し、素材を、真空フライヤー(1)の油面(L)の下に沈めた油中状態で攪拌する第1のフライ工程と、素材を油中状態で攪拌することと、素材を油面(L)付近に浮かせた油面状態で攪拌することとを、交互に第1の周期で繰返す第2のフライ工程と、素材を油中状態で攪拌することと、素材を油面状態で攪拌することとを、油中状態における時間が油面状態における時間と同じ又はそれよりも短くなるように、交互に第1の周期よりも短い第2の周期で繰返す第3のフライ工程とを有する。【選択図】図1
