<p>The invention relates to fryers and particularly deep fat fryers. Conventional fryers have a noticeable difficulty when it comes to cleaning of them, it being impossible simply to immerse the fryer in water. Attempts to resolve this have led to proposals for the provision of fryers with removable tanks but which have involved the provision of an external plug/socket for the connection of a heating element associated with the tank to a source of electrical supply. If, following disconnection of the plug/socket a mains cable is inadvertently left connected to a mains supply, it would leave a live plug/socket on, for example, a work surface, a most dangerous circumstance. The invention seeks to obviate this, and is achieved by a construction characterised by the provision of a means (22,23) of providing an automatic connection and disconnection of the heating element from the power source by the placement of the tank (26) or the removable of the tank (26) from the casing (12). <IMAGE></p> |
