Systems, methods and apparatuses for making fryers safer and/or more energy efficient are disclosed. Methods and devices in accordance with the present disclosure generally comprise a cover, having a number of flaps, doors or plates that open upwardly or downwardly to receive a basket. Flaps/doors may be solid, perforated or the like. The cover can be maintained in a suitably rigid closed locked position, for example, by a locking mechanism, preventing the basket(s), body parts, or other items from unintentionally being placed in the fryer. In such embodiments, the cover also prevents the loss of heat from the oil. Alternatively, the cover may be maintained in a closed position, though not necessarily locked, with a primary purpose of preventing heat loss from the oil. In such embodiments, the cover may be vented. |
