The oil-less DFF replacement system presents several benefits: a) decreased fire risk by removing cooking oil and therefore eliminating the need for an Aqueous Potassium Carbonate (APC) fire extinguishing system; b) a healthier option by using no oil; c) reduced maintenance; d) reduce cooking emissions; e) reduced cooking time by cooking the same food in a comparable or shorter time than the current DFF; f) fits into the same footprint as the current DFF; g) requires the same amount of electricity or less; h) able to fit through a 25” diameter hatch; i) man-portable; and j) can operate in the submarine environment.
