No, I think UL has a point here. As you can see from the Video that Turkey fryer is Gas fired, so there is always a ingnition source present.
As far as I recall Deep Fat Fryers for home use in Europe: - are electrically heated, with the heat source inside and protected by an outside enclosure that is below 50 deg (i.e. can be touched by the user) it will cool spilled oil instead of igniting it. - all models I recall to have seen are smaller. The food to be fried it to be put into a cage with a handle, and can at maximum hold a small chicken. ------------------------------------------------- The deep-fat fryer shown in the UL video really seems to be too cheaply built. Such deep-fat fryers should always be intended for commercial use only, so a slightly higher price should be acceptable - There must be a better protection against tilting over - There must be a provision that spilled oil does not reach the bottom part of the outside of the fryer, but is instead collected in a ring attached to the upper part of the outside Rgds Rene Charton Derek Walton <lfresearch@aol.c om> To Sent by: dougp01 <doug...@gmail.com> emc-p...@ieee.org cc Pete Perkins <peperkin...@cs.com>, EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG 11/15/2011 07:04 Subject AM Re: [PSES] CE marking of deep-fat fryer Hi Doug, I guess I find this nonsense. ANYTHING abused looks dangerous. More examples of Nanny state control. Cheers, Derek.
