Reply #66 Aristo-Mats
My paternal grandmother had one in the space between the burners of her immaculate white Glenwood gas & gas stove.
I moved into her apartment after she passed, and I was so pleased to have that beautiful stove as the centerpiece of the kitchen!
When the wife and I bought our house, my sister took our grandmother's old apartment.
I can't for the life of me understand why, but I believe one of the first things she did was throw away the Aristo-Mat!
And I know it was in perfect condition!
I remember my grandmother used to polish the chrome and the stovepipe with Bon Ami.
Now, the stove itself, along with its formerly gleaming stovepipe is looking quite neglected these days.
GRRRRRR!

They have a display at the KFC Headquarters in Louisville of the Presto pressure cookers originally used to prepare Kentucky Fried Chicken--they were specially designed by Presto (and had a label stating such) for use in the KFC system. These would have been used in the 1952-1962 era when KFC was an add-on for regular restaurants. I worked in the corporate office of KFC from 1987-1989...the joke was that you could tell "old KFC people" by the scars on their inside wrists from using those kinds of fryers early in their careers. There have been several iterations of the pressure fryer systems since that point---while I was there, there were 3 different systems....mostly different capacities--smallest one was a round kettle; middle-size was a square kettle. These were both Henny Penny (as I recall). The biggest was an enormous chicken processor in which you rolled a rack of chicken and it was submerged (via a motor). It was enormous (size of two refrigerators) and very dangerous (required specific training and maintenance). I suspect there aren't too many of them around any more (as KFC has expanded their menu).

KFC
Hey Jamie.
I worked at a KFC, around 1987.
They had a bank of Henny Penny fryers along one wall, and the big machine you mention was against the back wall.
During peak times, we would just turn and burn with all the machines.
As quick as you could bread the chicken, you drop another round.
I don't have any idea who the manufacturer of the big fryer was, but I believe we used to call it the 10-3.
Maybe that was the model number?
