Preparation Method

Vacuum Frying

Vacuum Frying is similar to kettle cooking. The cooking container is similar to the rectangular box used in kettle cooking but with the addition of a vacuum encasement. Air is removed from the kettle through the use of a vacuum pump, thereby reducing the temperature at which the oil in the kettle will boil.  This is critical to insure that raw ingredients, such as apples, can be cooked without being burned.  Following the cooking process, the finished product is removed from the kettle and transported to the seasoning line by a conveyor system.
