Abstract
A fryer is set up in a cooking area of a restaurant or the like for use, and allows a standby temperature of cooking oil to be switched according to congestion of customers in a hall of the restaurant. The congestion of customers is evaluated by counting per unit time the count of an entrance switch when a customer enters the hall. When the count number per unit time is equal to or greater than a predetermined count, the oil temperature in a oil vessel of the fryer is set at a standby temperature T(degrees Celsius) allowing food materials to be quickly heated or fried. On the other hand, if the count is smaller than ptimes, the oil temperature is set at a standby temperature T(degrees Celsius) which is lower than the standby temperature Tthereby conserving energy.
