Abstract
The present invention relates to a frying device for carrying out a frying process for food products () comprising a frying oil reservoir () which can be filled with a volume of frying oil; a food product carrier () which can at least partially be immersed in the frying oil in the frying oil reservoir and at least one heating unit () having at least one heating element () which is positioned at least partially inside the frying oil reservoir and which has a heating surface () which is in contact with the frying oil in the frying oil reservoir during the frying process. Characteristic of the frying device according to the invention is the fact that the heating unit comprises a frying oil duct () with a channel-heating surface (). Furthermore, the heating unit comprises a first pump () for passing frying oil through the frying oil duct. During the frying process, the frying oil duct is in flow communication with the volume of frying oil in the frying oil reservoir, as a result of which frying oil can be passed from the frying oil reservoir through the frying oil duct.
