I used to have one of those - they are a lot of fun. OTOH, there's no
way that I could continue to eat that stuff for a prolonged period of
time. We checked out a house a few years ago that was set up in an
elegant Chinese style. The kitchen had an integrated deep fryer. That
really fired up my imagination with all the stuff I would be able to do
with such a setup. OTOH, there's probably a reason that you don't see
these things in home kitchens.
