Abstract
The present invention relates generally to a frying apparatus and, in particular, to a frying apparatus comprising a cooking container for containing oil or the like for cooking a turkey, a chicken, or seafood; a shield for shielding the operator from oil splatters and preventing the over-spill of the oil from the cooking container; a supporting stand for holding the cooking container; and a plurality of securing straps for securing the cooking container to the supporting stand such that the cooking container is stably positioned onto the supporting stand of the frying apparatus. One embodiment of the present invention contemplates a cooking container generally configured to removably receive the shield such that the shield, when inserted into the open end of the cooking container securely adjoins and abuts the cooking container so that oil does not spill-over between the shield and the cooking container. However, the present invention also contemplates a frying apparatus having a shield made as a unitary piece with the cooking container.
