Abstract: An electric cooking apparatus, e.g. a deep fryer, is disclosed as including a body, a tank for containing food to be cooked and a control module for controlling the operation of the deep fryer, in which the body, the tank and the control module are releasably engageable with one another, and the tank and control module each includes a respective engagement member which are complementary with and releasably engageable with each other, and the control module is locked against movement from the body when the body, the tank and the control module are engaged with one another. The tank has a bottom surface for supporting the food to be cooked, and when the apparatus is positioned on a horizontal surface, the bottom surface of the tank is inclined relative to the horizontal surface.

Abstract: An electrical cooking appliance having electrical heating means, temperature sensing means, a first temperature sensitive switch connected to the temperature sensing means and connected to the electrical heating means arranged to open on sensing a first predetermined temperature and arranged in parallel with current limiting means, a second temperature sensitive switch connected to the temperature sensing means and connected in series with the electrical heating means arranged to open at a second predetermined temperature higher than the first temperature.

Abstract: An electric appliance has a body member and a detachable electric cord. The body member includes a connecting portion having at least one pin member extended therefrom. The electric cord includes at least a first plug member and a second plug member which are electrically connected with each other. The first plug member is electrically connectable to an electric source. The second plug member is releasably engageable with the connecting portion of the body member by a magnetic attracting force between them. The pin member includes a tapered end surface, and the second plug member includes at least one aperture sized to receive the pin of the connecting portion of the body member. The width of the aperture is greater than the width of the pin member by a factor in the range of 1.1 to 5.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electric cooking grill which provides a cooking surface for grilling and an alternate cooking surface for pan flying. The grill incorporates a temperature controlling element and a temperature measuring probe which allows the user to adjust the temperature according to the level of cooking desired. The temperature controlling element and the temperature measuring probe allow a user to effectively control the cooking temperature which is essential to food safety. The grill also incorporates a number of safety features so that unless all essential features are fully assembled, it is disabled to ensure safety.
