I wonder what the difference between the Kentucky Fried Colonel device and a
Broaster (tm) is. I worked at a burger snatcher back in the early 60s that
introduced a pair of Broasters (tm) to the back line and increased their bottom
line by a considerable amount. To the point that the KFC store a block away
closed its doors. The Broaster would bring 20 pieces of chicken to perfection
in just 11 minutes from being loaded into the cooker and the lid clamped shut.

As there was a high school two blocks away and a factory directly across the
street ... speed and freshness were important.

I dunno what pressure the Broaster (tm) I operated used ... but, the
thermometer for the cooking fat had a "green" range from 350 to 375 degrees
Farenheit. If the temps varied from that the thermostat need replacing.
