Claim Text:
1. A frying device comprising: a frying vessel having an electrically conductive body, said electrically conductive body adapted to carry an amount of cooking oil; a heating unit carried by said vessel; a basket adapted to be received within said frying vessel, said basket having an electrically conductive body having at least one aperture disposed therethrough to permit the passage of cooking oil therethrough; a rectification circuit having an input adapted to be coupled to an alternating current (AC) power source to receive power therefrom, said rectification circuit having a first output, a second output, and a third output directly coupled across said heating element, said frying vessel, and said basket, respectively, wherein said rectification circuit converts the alternating current (AC) power into separate rippled, rectified AC current signals that are respectively supplied across said heating element, said frying vessel, and said basket, so as to form a reducing environment of available electrons for absorption by the food when said basket including the food is disposed in the cooking oil; and wherein said electrically conductive body of said basket further comprises a frame having an opposed inner surface and outer surface, said frame having at least one opening disposed therethrough, wherein a plurality of planar, parallelly positioned slats each have an opposed first edge and second edge, said plurality of slats attached at points within said opening so that said first edge extends beyond said inner surface of said frame, and said second edge extends beyond said outer surface of said frame, said plurality of slats being rotated at an angle relative to said frame, and wherein said adjacent slats are spaced apart to define a passage therebetween to permit the passage of cooking oil therethrough.
