An apparatus for trapping loose food particles in a deep frying vessel has been developed. The apparatus includes a top plate that has a perforated region that allows the loose food particles to fall into the trap pan which sits off the bottom of the vessel. The top plate abuts the side wall of the vessel and sits over the trap pan. The top plate has an unperforated region over any gap between the trap pan and the side wall of the vessel.
