Turkey fryer with complete splatter protection

摘要

A fryer for deep frying a turkey has an outer cooking pot for containing hot oil. A splatter sleeve is telescopically slidable into the pot, the sleeve having a surrounding side wall, an open top surrounded by a top sleeve rim and an open bottom surrounded by a bottom sleeve rim. A lid is sealingly seatable upon the top sleeve rim and has a lid hole. A lid latch latches the lid to the top sleeve rim. A turkey support has a turkey support base, extends upwardly from the base to a handle top end and is insertable through the hole in the lid. When these components and a turkey are assembled, suspended from the handle and lowered into hot cooking oil, the sleeve is sufficiently long that it enters the oil before the turkey thereby assuring a complete splatter barrier.

主权项

1. A fryer for deep frying a turkey or other foodstuff and comprising:
(a) an outer cooking pot for containing hot oil and having a top cooking pot rim; (b) a splatter sleeve that is slidable into the pot, the sleeve having a surrounding side wall, an open top surrounded by a top splatter sleeve rim and an open bottom surrounded by a bottom sleeve rim; (c) a lid that is sealingly seatable upon the top splatter sleeve rim, the lid having a lid hole; (d) at least one manually releasable lid latch attached to the underside of the top splatter sleeve rim for removably latching the lid rim to the top splatter sleeve rim when said splatter sleeve is being lowered into hot cooking oil within the pot; and (e) a turkey support having a turkey support base at a lower end and extending upwardly from its base, the turkey support insertable through the hole in the lid and having a hand grippable top end; wherein, with a turkey resting on the turkey support base, the splatter sleeve latched to the lid and the turkey support extending through the hole and suspended from its top end, the bottom sleeve rim is lower than the turkey support base so that, in use, the bottom sleeve rim contacts a cooking oil in the pot before the turkey contacts the cooking oil.
