Abstract: A cooking appliance (2,20) comprises a first container (8, 26), a base (6, 44), an axle (10, 42) extending generally vertically from a bottom of the first container (8, 26), and a second container (12, 32) including a vertically extending funnel (34) which is engageable with a male member (46) arranged at an upper end of the axle (10, 42). The cooking appliance (2, 20) can assume a configuration in which the second container (12, 32) is rotatably drivenable by the male member (46) in relation to the first container (8, 26), to remove liquid from food contained in the second container (12, 32).

Abstract: An electrical accessory in the form of an electrical adapter (100) is disclosed as including releasably engageable first body part (102) and second body part (104), the first body part (102) being releasably engageable with a plug (14) of an electric cord (10), the second body part (104) being electrically connectable with an electricity mains supply, and the second body part (104) includes a body (115) engageable with the first body part (102) and a plate (122) with electrically conductive pins (124a, 124b, 124c) electrically connectable with the electricity mains supply, and the body (115) and the plate (122) with electrically conductive pins (124a, 124b, 124c) are swivellable relative to each other. The electrical accessory may also be a wall socket (200).

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.
