Talk:Set-n-Forget cooker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've noticed since i first posted this article last night two different articles are now using photos which first featured in this article.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_fryer

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_fat_fryer

I don't believe this article should be deleted, it is a unique deep fryer which attempted to automate the process of deep frying back in the 1970's. However, unfortunately the Set-n-Forget Deep Fryer ultimately failed!!!! Why, probably because the use of canisters hindered the process of deep frying. However, I'm not totally sure of the reason and was hoping some one may recognise the deep fryer and offer an explanation.

Another reason why this article should not be deleted.

The person who invented it was John Joyce - a influential Australian designer and inventor (who lived between (1938-2002). He designed a complete class of Formula racing cars (Bowin Cars) in the 60's & 70's and went on to invent the LO-NOx burner - a significant contribution to the gas appliance industry in 1990. The set n forget deep fryer was another invention of his, which fell between those two periods of his life. In this context the article is of more value. If someone has a better Idea for incorporation please let me know.
