Fryer Killing Ovens

In this Nov. 16, 2012 photograph, a student reaches for tater tots cooked in a combi-oven, a cross between a steamer and an oven, at Stonebridge Elementary School in Brandon, Miss. The oven can make frozen french fries and tater tots crisp without all that waistline-expanding oil, and its computerized brain can be programmed to cook almost anything. (AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis)
