A cooking apparatus comprises a heated compartment to warm cooking media that may be packaged in metal containers or the like. The heater system includes at least one heater disposed at a location to heat the bottom of the unused cooking medium container. The heater system may also include at least one heater disposed at a location to heat at least one side of the unused cooking medium container. A cooking apparatus comprises at least one supply reservoir, a fluid motive device, various enclosed cooking medium conductors or lines, a three-way valve that introduces air for purging the lines, and a cooking medium receiving system.

The invention relates to a self-cleaning deadweight holder configured to hold a deadweight within a cooking apparatus. In some embodiments, the holder may comprise a top plate, an exhaust cylinder, a bottom plate, a plurality of support plates, and a plurality of guide plates. The top plate may include a through hole disposed at substantially a center of the top plate and configured to allow at least one of liquid and steam to pass therethrough. An outer diameter of the bottom plate may be less than an outer diameter of the top plate and an outer diameter of each of the plurality of guide plates, and the plurality of guide plates may be configured to permit movement of the deadweight therethrough. In some embodiments, the cooking apparatus may comprise a cooking chamber, a steam box, a vent tube, an exhaust tube, a drain tube, and a pressure relief tube.

A fryer (100) measures cooking medium quality, and includes a cooking vessel (110) configured to store a cooking medium (115), an electrode plate (210) completely immersed in the cooking medium, an insulator (220) comprising a first side and a second side, wherein the first side of the insulator is fixed to the electrode plate, and a second side of the insulator is attached to a wall (125) of the cooking vessel, a guard ring (230) fixed to the cooking vessel and surrounding the electrode plate and insulator. The guard ring extends further away from the wall of the cooking vessel than the electrode plate. A size (A) of a gap between the guard ring and the electrode plate is based on a height (E), a width (D), and a thickness (F) of the electrode plate and substantially defines a gain of the electrode. A signal conditioning circuit (600) measures the conductivity of the cooking medium applied to the electrode.

A single handle-actuated lid opening, closing, and locking mechanism for a large capacity pressure cooker (1) having an open-top cooking vat (3) and a counter-balanced lid (6) shiftable vertically between a vat open and a vat closed position. The mechanism comprises a pair of slotted hook arms (21,22) mounted to either side of the vat. A cam bar (47) extends transversely of the vat lid (6) and is provided with a forwardly extending arms (71,72) near each of its ends. The forward ends of the arms are joined by a bar constituting a handle (73) in parallel spaced relationship to the cam bar (47). The ends of the cam bar support rollers are receivable within the slots (23,24) of the hook arms (21,22). The cam bar (47) is manually shiftable by the handle between a forward lid locking position and a rearward unlocking and lid engaging position. In its forward lid-locking position, the cam bar (47) assumes an over-center orientation with its rollers bearing upwardly against the upper surfaces of the hook arm slots (23,24) and the cam bar body bearing downwardly against the lid. In its rearward unlocked and lid engaging position, the cam bar (47) is rigidly coupled to the lid (6) so that upward and downward forces applied to the handle result in vertical upward and downward movement of the lid between its vat open and its vat closed positions. A cam bar lock precludes unlocking and opening of the lid when the vat is pressurized.

A ventless hood (2) for a commercial deep fat frying pressure cooker (1) having a pot (10) in which cooking is performed by the use of a heated cooking oil bath and steam under pressure derived from the moisture in the food being cooked. The hood (2) comprises a vertical portion at the rear of the cooker and a forwardly extending open-bottom portion spaced from and overlying the pot. The forwardly extending portion of the hood (2) supports a pair of angularly related baffle filters (45,46) surmounted by a metallic mesh filter (67) and a charcoal filter (68). A fan (78) in the vertical portion of the hood draws ambient air and cooking gasses through these filters. A water tank (86) is mounted behind the cooker together with a pump (91) to recirculate the water in the tank through a heat exchanging radiator (73) located between the filters and the fan to cool the water. During the cooking cycle excess steam and vaporized cooking oil are introduced into the water bath which acts as a scrubber and condenses the majority of the steam and vaporized cooking oil. Residual non-condensables, uncondensed steam, vaporized cooking oil and unabsorbed odors are vented from the water tank directly to the bottom of the forward hood portion. At the end of the cooking cycle all of the cooking gasses are vented into the water bath prior to opening of the cooking pot.
