ABSTRACT:
A deep fat fryer system includes a vat for holding a quantity of cooking medium. A tube or conduit is disposed between a position in the vat corresponding to a lower desired level of cooking medium in the vat and a blower for creating a vacuum in the tube. A pressure sensitive switch is disposed for sensing differences in pressure between the inside of the conduit and the outside of the conduit. The pressure sensitive switch provides an electrically detectable indication of when the difference in pressure between the inside of the conduit and the outside of the conduit is in excess of a predetermined difference in pressure indicative of cooking medium covering the end of the tube disposed in the vat.
