[Sca-cooks] pressure fryer?

[John Kemker]

Harlan Sanders was the first to commercially use a pressure fryer in 
fast-food.  It's what made "Kentucky Fried Chicken" possible, as fried 
chicken done the old-fashioned way took too long to cook.

Basically, it's a pressure-cooker with oil.  I'm not sure of all the 
details, however.  There may be some differences in maximum 
pressure/temperature/etc. between a pressure fryer and a normal pressure 
cooker.
