  • Patent number: 5832810
    Abstract: A cooking fluid container and storage system for containing and storing a cooking fluid drained from a deep fryer cooker includes a container assembly supported for translation by a cart. The container assembly includes a rigid, paper board outer container and a plastic bag inner container. The outer container receives a lid to close the outer container. The container assembly supported by the cart is configured to be selectively positionable beneath a drain spout of the deep fryer cooker. A cooking fluid, such as cooking oil, residing in the deep fryer cooker may be selectively drained into the plastic bag supported by the outer container.
