Abstract: A domestic electric stand alone cooking apparatus has a lower part and upper part that hingably close together in use to provide a cylindrical cooking chamber. Each part has a separate heating element and that can be separately turned ON and OFF. A stirrer is mechanically coupled to an electric motor (not shown) so that, where required, the foodstuff can be stirrer continuously or intermittently. Different forms of stirrer are normally provided. This leads to a single cooking apparatus that can be used to cook a wide range of foodstuff satisfactorily.

Abstract: An electrical deep fryer has a pan, a housing, an electrical heating element, a compartment and a removable hinged lid. These components, except the heating element which is permanently fixed to the pan, are easily assembled, and dissembled for washing. The compartment incorporated all the electrical components for controlling and supplying power to the fryer that cannot be wetted without damage. Thus, the remaining parts of the fryer can be thoroughly washed when required, using a dish-washer if preferred.
