26 The present invention relates to a system to warn of early removal of food from a cooking medium. The system is a combination of a frypot, a basket sensor and an alarm where the frypot is a container holding a cooking medium such as oil or shortening. Food items to be cooked are placed in a control zone in the cooking medium and held by a basket that holds the food submersed in the cooking medium. The basket sensor is installed to detect the presence of a basket in the container. The basket sensor is monitored by a cooking computer that controls the alarm, activating the alarm if there is no basket in the frypot when a cook cycle is initiated or when the basket is removed before the cook cycle is completed. The cooking computer monitors the cooking cycle by using a preprogrammed cook time and adjusting the time based on variations measured in the cooking medium temperature or other factors. During the cooking cycle the cooking computer monitors the sensor to ensure that the basket is in the container to begin the cook cycle and that the basket remains in the container until the cook cycle is complete. If the basket is not in the container to begin the cook cycle or if the basket is removed from the container before the cooking time is complete, a signal is sent from the cooking computer to an alarm controller. The controller activates an alarm that can only be deactivated by turning of a key switch. The particular basket that was removed early is indicated by a decimal point or other visual indication in the cooking computer's alpha-numeric display.
