Abstract: The current invention teaches a cooking structure with unique abilities of frying, staging, draining and warming foods. This cooking device comprises an oil reservoir, a staging/draining flange, and a warming flange. The cooking structure further includes a cooking stand/burner structure with quick release removable legs & support arms with safety locking connections which lock onto the said cooking device. The invention also has a uniquely designed safety plate in cases where users may cook with the cooking device on a stand that they may already have in their possession. Understanding this creates a potentially unsafe cooking situation, we invented the safety plate. This safety plate employs the adjustable safety locking connections to “lock” the safety plate onto an existing burner and “lock” the cooking device onto the safety plate. This invention allows for the safe operation of the cooking device with other stands/burners and still maintains the integrity of the cooking device.
