Abstract: Safety Fryer is a fryer device with an inner chamber having drain holes near the top and an outer chamber that fits around and attaches to the inner chamber and catches any grease escaping through the drain holes. To use Safety Fryer, a user simply fills the inner chamber with oil or water. When the grease or water is at the proper temperature, the user places the desired item inside the inner chamber. If the food item causes the water or oil level to rise too close to the top of the inner chamber, the water or oil will flow out the drain holes into the outer chamber, preventing dangers associated with overflow. If the level again decreases, the water or oil will be permitted to flow back into the inner chamber through the drain holes.
