Abstract
A self contained filter assembly is provided for a deep fat fryer which permits repeated filtering and reusing of the oil as a cooking media in the fryer. The filter includes a pan received in a drawer beneath the housing of the fryer which provides a filter media along the upper surface of a grid therein. Suction is applied by a suction pump mounted within the fryer which communicates between the surface of the filter pan below the grid and the fry pot itself. When the outlet valve on the fry pot is opened the oil flows downwardly by gravity into the filter pan and the pump applies suction to the surface of the pan to draw the oil through a filter media and return the filtered oil to the fry pot.
