They have a new deep fryer out called cool touch. It is an insulated pot with an insulated lid and filter on it.
you just heat it up fill the basket with fillets close the lid and lower the basket into the greese and it cooks with out popping the grease or smooking up the house.
got mine at walmart for $15.00.

also great for cooking frozen food without splattering greese everywhere.
