On September 27, 2011, Robert L. Boyer was granted the patent for TURKEY FRYER WITH VERTICALLY STACKING COOKING RACKS. U.S. Patent No. 8,025,007.

This present invention is a deep frying apparatus for cooking food items within a deep stock pot. The apparatus includes a pot-shaped basket and a plurality of stackable cooking racks with flat screen bodies and spaced handles which project vertically from the screens and which concomitantly provide a loop for handling each rack and for spacing apart adjacent stacked racks. A bottom-most cooking rack further includes feet which raises the bottom-most rack’s screen above a bottom wall of the basket when inserted therein.
