Product Offerings & Top Selling Models
- Gas Fryers
- Gas fryers are the most common option for commercial kitchens, meaning employees will be more familiar with these models. Additional benefits of gas fryers include faster heating and cooling compared to electric models, and gas fryers offer more fry pot shape options than electric fryers, which will affects what types of foods should be cooked in the fryer. For example, open-pot (best for low-sediment foods like french fries) and tube-style (best for breaded foods) fry pots are only available in gas powered models.

This value fryer boasts 70,000 BTU while using 35% less gas and giving the same production level as a 35C+S! Easily cook 55-60 lbs. of french fries per hour with this power horse while using less energy!
