Definitions

  • This invention relates to deep fat frying devices. More particularly, it is concerned with an apparatus and method for frying corn dogs and other snack foods
  • Deep fat frying of foods such as corn dogs is a preferred cooking method because of the savory flavor and appearance of the foods prepared by that method.
  • the cleanup and disposal of this volume of oil after frying corn dogs in conventional frying pots makes the preparation of single servings of corn dogs inconvenient and impractical.
  • merely reducing the size of conventionally configured pots or reducing the amount of cooking oil used to prepare single servings presents additional problems to the user. Simply reducing the amount of oil in a conventional pot produces inconsistent or poor cooking results because the food is not fully covered
  • PRESTO fryers are merely a scaled down, smaller sized version of conventional deep fat fryers. They have a relatively short and wide oil container which does not readily accommodate the long tubular shape of a corn dog.
  • the Downers patent teaches an apparatus for holding and suspending stick-carried foods in a cooking pot containing a frying medium which utilizes stick clips mounted to a ring conforming to the shape of the cook pot.
  • the Walser patent teaches a commercial sized fryer for the production and the cooking of many corn dogs on an assembly line type basis.
  • the Berard patent illustrates typical food fryer and basket devices. The aforementioned devices do not teach an apparatus for deep fat frying of corn dogs that will allow a reduced volume of cooking oil to facilitate single serving cooking.
  • the present invention is designed to satisfy the aforementioned needs.
  • the invention will allow the deep fat frying of small servings of corn dogs which will have the flavor and appearance inherent in that cooking method. It incorporates a relatively tall narrow container for the cooking oil and a stabilizer ring for holding the oil container above the stove top burner.
  • the tall narrow container allows the food to be fried in a reduced volume of cooking oil compared to conventional fryers.
  • stabilizer ring allows the narrow container to be safely used on stove tops.
  • the stabilizer ring will provide stability to the fryer and will prevent the container from tipping over.
  • the invention incorporates a corn dog retainer fitted over the top of the container to hold the corn dogs in the hot oil and prevent the corn dogs from floating while frying.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the corn dog frying apparatus.
  • Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the corn dog frying apparatus.
  • Figure 3 is a top view of the corn dog retainer.
  • Figure 4 is an alternate embodiment of the corn dog retainer.
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view of an alternate embodiment of the corn dog frying apparatus.
  • the apparatus 10 consists of a substantially cylindrical container 12 to retain the cooking oil for the deep fat frying of a corn dog 20.
  • a container support and stabilizer ring 14 is attached to the container 12 by a plurality of struts 16.
  • the container, struts and stabilizer ring are preferably constructed of aluminum though
  • Handles 18, preferably of a hard heat resistant plastic, are attached to opposite sides of the container 12 to facilitate handling of the apparatus 10. A single handle could also be utilized.
  • a corn dog retainer 17 is shown for receiving the stick 21 of a corn dog 20 placed in the cooking oil filled container 12. The retainer will prevent floating or displacement of the corn dogs 20 while they are frying to facilitate even cooking.
  • the preferred embodiment of container 12 has circular interior sides 13 and an upper rim 15 and the container 12 is configured so that its interior diameter and depth is sufficient to contain a quantity of cooking oil sufficient to fully immerse at least one vertically positioned corn dog below the container rim is for frying.
  • the container 12 is configured so that its interior diameter and depth will substantially conform to the shape of the corn dogs 20, yet afford a sufficient clearance between the container sides 13 and corn dogs 20 and a sufficient clearance between corn dogs 20 and the container rim 15 to allow hot oil to circulate around and over the corn
  • a container 12 having an interior diameter of four inches and a depth of seven inches is thought to be sufficient to allow for the efficient frying of a serving of two corn dogs at one time.
  • the cooking oil required for efficient frying being a function of the container dimensions and the oil volume displaced by the corn dogs upon full immersion in the cooking oil.
  • Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the corn dog frying apparatus 10 in place over a stove top with the stabilizer ring 14 and struts 16 holding the container 12 above the stove top burner 25.
  • the corn dogs 20 are held in place by corn dog retainer 17.
  • the stabilizer ring 14 has a diameter substantially larger than the diameter of the container 12 and is typically larger than the diameter of a typical stove top burner so that the ring rests on the burner rack 32 to support the container 12 above the burner 25 and prevent the apparatus 10 from tipping over while in use. It is thought that supporting the container 12 one inch above the ring 14 is sufficient for stability and to allow good transfer of heat from the burner 25 to the container 12.
  • the stabilizer ring 14 may also be sized to have a diameter slightly less than a stove burner rack to support the container on the burner rack above the burner.
  • the retainer clip 17 is shown in Figure 3. It consist of a C-shaped flat metal bar having a lower segment 23 which transcends to a web segment 22 and a flange segment 24 at each end of the corn dog retainer 17. The length of the lower segment 23 is substantially the same as the diameter of the container 12. The web segments 22 displace horizontally inwardly, parallel to the lower segment 23 so that the lower segment 23 is placed in the container 12 and to allow the retainer 17 to fit tightly against the inside of the container rim 13. When the retainer 17 is in place, the
  • the flange segments 24 at each end of the retainer 17 rest on the rim 13 of the container 12.
  • the lower segment 23 of the retainer 17 has slots 19 to receive the stick 21 of a corn dog 20 to support the corn dog 20 and prevent flotation and displacement of the corn dog while it is cooking.
  • a plastic heat resistant handle 25 is attached to each flange segment 24 to facilitate handling of the retainer 17.
  • Figure 4 shows an alternate embodiment 17A of the retainer 17. It is comprised of a stiff wire frame 26 bent to produce parallel wire segments 27. The wire segments have inwardly displaceable vertical segments 28 and supports 33 and 33A at opposite ends. The frame 26 fits inside the container 12 with the supports 33
  • a heat resistant handle 29 is attached to the frame 26 adjacent to the support 33 A.
  • the wire segments 27 are held parallel to each other by strap segments 30 having slots 31.
  • the corn dog stick 21 is inserted through the slots 31 to secure the corn dog 20 in place for frying.
  • Figure 5 is an alternate embodiment of the apparatus 10. It shows a container 12A, similar to container 12 described herein, which is configured for frying a larger serving of corn dogs 20.
  • the container 12A has a depth slightly larger than the length of a corn dog 20 to allow the flow of cooking oil over the top of a corn dog while frying and, rather than circular, the container 12A is oval shaped such that its width is approximately one-half of its length. It is thought that container 12A having a width of four inches and a length of eight inches is sufficient for efficiently frying a serving of up to eight corn dogs at one time.
  • a circular stabilizer ring 16 and struts 14 are shown which provides stability and support for the oval shaped container 12A above the stove top burner. Heat resistant handles 18 facilitate the handing of the apparatus in use.
  • a plurality of corn dog retainers 17 are shown having a lower segment length 23 of substantially the same width as container 12A which are secured to the container 12A in the manner
