ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a semiautomatic frying apparatus including a food carrying basket having a forward mounting lip and a rearward handle. The apparatus includes a basket-supporting shaft having a lip-engaging cradle for mounting the basket to the shaft. Disposed beneath the shaft, in a position to receive the basket upon rotation of the shaft, is a vessel holding heated cooking medium such as oil. A plate-like heater disposed beneath the vessel in heating contact therewith includes a bottom surface having a recess for mounting one or more temperature sensors, the recess opening into an airflow cavity. The frying apparatus is disposed within a cabinet and a fan and filter, also disposed within the cabinet, provides an air flow therethrough. A door connected by linkage to the basket-supporting shaft selectively blocks air flow through the cavity beneath the heating plate, and when opened to an unblocking position, purges heated air from the recess air, providing compensation for the temperature sensors therein. Also disclosed is an air filter consisting of a box-like container, the endwalls of which are slotted at their outer edges for flow through the container. Disclosed within the container is a central internal wall slotted at its center to allow air flow therethrough. Disposed between the central wall and either endwall is a pad of filter media. The air flow is constrained to move between the major surfaces of the filter media to prolong the residence time and improve contact between the air flow and the filter media.
