An appliance for frying has a frying pot disposed within a housing for containing oil or fat and having a normally-closed valve disposed at a bottom thereof. An oil receiving tank is removably receivable within the housing below the frying pot, and has an oil receiving hole positionable below the draining valve such that when the valve is opened, the or fat may flow from the frying pot into the oil receiving tank. An actuation mechanism disposed entirely on the housing has a first condition wherein the activation mechanism allows removal of the oil receiving tank relative to the housing, a second condition wherein the activation mechanism prevents removal of the oil receiving tank relative to the housing while not opening the valve, and a third condition wherein the activation mechanism prevents removal of the oil receiving tank relative to the housing while opening the valve.

The present invention provides wireless temperature control turkey fryer which relates to the field of cooking apparatus technologies; the main technical scheme comprises a fryer body, a fryer lid matching the fryer body and an outer ring seat supporting the fryer body. A stove body for heating the bottom of the fryer body is disposed inside the outer ring seat. The stove body is provided with a gas disconnecting piece for cutting off a gas passage. The fryer lid is provided with an electronic thermometer. The electronic thermometer is provided with a temperature insertion pin for being inserted into the fryer body for temperature monitoring. The temperature insertion pin is in communication connection with the gas disconnecting piece such that the gas disconnecting piece is enabled to start and cut off the gas passage when a temperature in the fryer body exceeds a set threshold, achieving convenient temperature control effect.

A high efficiency heating apparatus for heating fluids and cooking mediums, such as oil or shortening within a fryer, includes a natural draft (non powered) combustion chamber that is affixed to an exterior surface of a fry tank.

Processing apparatus, in which a product is fried in a frying oil, frying oil is pumped by a pump in a flow direction through a microwave chamber, the microwave chamber includes at least one solid-state radio frequency source, the frying oil is configured to flow out of the frying oil chamber towards the microwave chamber where the frying oil is heated and then the frying oil is configured to flow back into the microwave chamber, the flow direction of the of the frying oil in the frying oil chamber is the same as a flow direction of the product that is transported by the transport means, the processing apparatus includes a filter in the tube of the microwave chamber, and energy generated by the at least one solid-state radio frequency source to heat the frying oil depends on a desired temperature of the frying oil.

Various example systems and component systems for an automated food processing system are provided. In an example, a food processing apparatus comprises a basket retainer configured to support a basket of consumable items above a food processing device. The food processing apparatus may also include a reciprocating agitator configured to impart a repetitive contact to the basket, thereby inducing motion of the consumable items within the basket. In another example, guidance of a robot performing tasks such as moving a basket of consumable or food items may be enhanced using one or more mechanical guides configured to catch, engage, or otherwise contact a corresponding feature of a basket for the consumable/food items. In another example, one or more sensors may be provided to provide an indication that a robot gripper is within a proximity of a basket and/or handle thereof.

An article has two tanks, one for storing fresh cooking oil and one for receiving used cooking oil. A new method enables a regular delivery vehicle to deliver fresh oil, and remove used oil, along with other restaurant supplies, eliminating the need for special delivery vehicles to bring and remove cooking oil.
