Product review (5 stars): I couldn't ask for a better fryer
This is our third Rival Cool Touch Deep Fryer.  Our first one we had for several years.  After awhile, it just became so dirty, we couldn't keep it looking decent.  We had our second one for a couple of years and it was starting to look a little grimy.  Then my daughter almost dropped it.  Luckily the oil was cold.  But, in the process of saving the fryer from falling, she some how knocked the control panel into the oil.  I started looking for another Cool Touch Fryer.  This model is becoming hard to find.  This one is almost exactly like the first two we had.  Slight change in the control panel and the basket is a little lighter weight.  We've used it about 4 times in the month we've had it.  Works just like our previous two.  We love how we can close the lid while deep frying.  No grease splatters or worries about a grease fire.  We loved our first two and this one looks like it will be three winners in a row.
