Housing with Moisture Prevention Channel

An air fryer housing having top or side air openings allows air to freely enter the system while both preventing liquids from entering the electronics and removing liquids which enter the housing. Liquids which find a way through an initial outer set of air openings, collect in a channel within the housing instead of passing with air flow into a second set of openings on an interior surface. The collected liquids are prevented from reaching any electrical or mechanical components of the system. The liquid may be pooled within the channel or drained to an exterior of the fryer from a discharge port in the bottom of the fryer. Alternately, the liquid is left to eventually evaporate from the liquid channel.
