The George Foreman Lean Mean Fryer features a patented Smart Spin technology that they claim knocks out up to 55% of fat absorbed in the frying process. Of course, the small print at the bottom of the page says:

Percentage of fat reduction refers only to the percentage of fat absorbed during frying, in comparison to conventional deep fat fryers. This product does not remove the original fat present in food items prior to frying. Results are based on independent laboratory testing, using a 2 minute spin cycle. Results are not typical and may vary based on food type and brand. Average reduction of absorbed fat of tested food items is 38%.

Well, whether it's 38% or 55%, we're still happy to see that someone is trying to make the deep-frying process a little less ... oily. They say, "During a special SPIN cycle that follows cooking, your Lean Mean Fryer uses centrifugal force to literally spin the added fat and oil off your food." More features of the Lean Mean Fryer:
