Abstract: The present invention provides a deep fat fryer providing an oil vat for holding hot oil. The hot oil of the vat is heated by a heat exchanger system that includes a pair of heat tubes. Heat transfer along a length of the heat tubes is facilitated by a heat conductive baffle substantially filling the interior of the heat tubes in volume and length. Heated air and gas are forced through the dense and elongated baffle to facilitate heat transfer to the walls of the heat tubes.

Abstract: The present invention provides a deep fat fryer separating the flue from the splash back panel and with a flue opening directed not upwardly, but rearwardly from the flue. By arranging the flue opening on the rear wall, the opening is protected from grease fallback (e.g., dripping from an overhead exhaust hood) or other foreign objects falling into the opening. The splash back panel further provides a seamless curved design that is easy to clean and also insulated from the heat of the flue. A baffle installed within the flue allows the combustion products to mix, cool, and slow upon exiting the baffle opening and entering the atmosphere reducing the exit temperature and also reducing the heating of the splash back panel.

Abstract: An oven tray rack for insertion into a food rack assembly is provided having upwardly and inwardly extending food holders and downwardly and inwardly extending grease deflectors for diverting grease to a center area of the tray rack and preventing grease from dripping onto food on lower tray racks.
