Food fryer

Abstract

Implementations of a food fryer are provided. In some implementations, the food fryer comprises a body portion, a stand, burners, and a drain. In some implementations, the body portion of the food fryer may be a curved hollow tube having an opening on each end. The body portion is configured to hold liquids therein for the purpose of frying or cooking food. In some implementations, the food fryer may include a storage container comprised of a body portion, a lid, and two extension members. In some implementations, the two extension members of the storage container may be configured to individually or collectively secure about the openings of the food fryers body portion such that the storage container is positioned above the food fryer. In some implementations, the storage container comprises openings from which the extension members extend.

1 . A food fryer comprising:
 a curved hollow tube having a first opening and a second opening located on opposite ends thereof wherein the first opening and the second opening are elevated above a low point in the tube; and   at least one burner wherein the at least one burner is configured to heat at least a portion of the curved hollow tube.   
     
     
         2 . The food fryer of  claim 1  wherein the curved hollow tube is U shaped. 
     
     
         3 . The food fryer of  claim 1  wherein the curved hollow tube is semi-circular shape. 
     
     
         4 . The food fryer of  claim 1 , further comprising a drain secured to the curved hollow tube. 
     
     
         5 . The food fryer of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one storage container wherein the at least one storage container has an interior opening through a bottom side thereof wherein the interior opening is configured to secure about the first opening or the second opening of the curved hollow tube. 
     
     
         6 . A method of cooking using a food fryer of  claim 1 , the method comprising:
 placing a food item into the first opening of the food fryer; and   extracting the food item from a second opening of the food fryer after the food item has traveled through a portion of the curved hollow tube toward the second opening.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the food fryer further comprises a storage container having a first interior opening and a second interior opening through a bottom side thereof wherein the first interior opening and the second interior opening of the storage container are configured to secure about the first opening and the second opening, respectively, of the curved hollow tube, the method further comprising:
 placing the first interior opening of the storage container about the first opening of the curved hollow tube prior to placing a food item into the first opening of the food fryer; and   placing the second interior opening of the second storage container about a second opening of the curved hollow tube prior to extracting the food item from the second opening of the food fryer.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7  further comprising positioning food within the storage container prior to placing a food item into the first opening of the food fryer. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7  further comprising positioning food within the storage container after extracting the food item from the second opening of the food fryer. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the food fryer further comprises a first storage container wherein the at least one storage container has at least one interior opening through a bottom side thereof wherein the at least one interior opening of the first storage container is configured to secure about the first opening or the second opening of the curved hollow tube, the method further comprising:
 placing the interior opening of the first storage container about a first opening of the curved hollow tube prior to placing a food item into the first opening of the food fryer; and   positioning food within the first storage container prior to placing a food item into the first opening of the food fryer.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the food fryer further comprises a second storage container wherein the second storage container has at least one interior opening through a bottom side thereof wherein the at least one interior opening of the second storage container is configured to secure about the first opening or the second opening of the curved hollow tube, the method further comprising:
 placing the interior opening of the second storage container about a second opening of the curved hollow tube prior to extracting the food item from the second opening of the food fryer; and   positioning food within the second storage container after extracting the food item from the second opening of the food fryer.
