It does but your comment didn’t say that outright and people who just avoid deep friers because they don’t want to deal with the oil probably don’t make assumptions about deep friers making it easy to deal with that stuff.

I didn’t realize deep friers were more than fancy pots with stoves and temperature control built in and baskets so you don’t have to fish the fish and chips out with tongs. If I had more space and less fat, I might even have gotten one now that I understand they can also help manage the oil.

Probably better to get a rice cooker, though.
