Hard to say...  It's the sort of thing one might find as some
super-expensive option, I'd guess.... But people are less into frying
now than they used to be... and more likely to have a dedicated
appliance for frying if they are into frying.... :)

 JK> Very cool :)

Yeah, we think so, too... ;)  It is gradually dying, I guess... but as
long as we can still get parts for it (Richard has done some creative
adjusting to some parts along the way), we'll hang onto it...  :)
