Commercial Natural Gas Fryers

Efficient natural gas fryers deliver a variety of options and quality results.

New ENERGY STAR-qualified commercial fryers offer up to 64.7% energy efficiency.

Commercial fryers for energy efficiency
With rising energy costs and a mobile customer base, many food service facilities are looking to improve upon their sustainability and energy efficiency practices. Recently developed gas food service equipment technologies can make every commercial kitchen an efficient operation.

Traditional fryers
Traditional fryers consist of one or more vats that maintain cooking oil levels to permit foods to float in the container rather than lying on the bottom.  Food cooks through a process of heating and dehydration that produces a crisp outside while sealing moisture inside. 

Latest designs in commercial fryers provide excellent shortening management, fuel savings and quick recovery times.

Recent developments in natural gas fryer technology are making this widely used equipment more economical than ever.  Immersion tube burners enhance efficiency by immersing the heating tubes directly into the frying oil rather than under the frying container.  Infrared fryers employ burner technology to transfer heat to the cooking oil faster, reduce flue temperature and provide greater efficiency. 

The quick recovery of natural gas fryers ensures a better, more consistent and safer product for customers, and improved production time.

General purpose or open fryers
Frying oil is heated by high-efficiency or infrared burners located either under the unit or inside immersion tubes.  Baskets of food are lowered into cooking oil heated to 300oF to 350oF.    A variation is the split vat fryer, which contains a single frypot that is divided into two sections, allowing for simultaneous frying of two different kinds of food without flavor transfer.

Pressure fryers
Similar to general purpose fryers, but offering much greater production volume, pressure fryers have an airtight lid that traps steam from the food, thereby creating pressure inside the fryer vat and achieving higher internal food temperatures. 

Specialty fryers
Specialty fryers are designed for frying or cooking foods that must float on the surface of the cooking medium—either oil or water.  Donuts, bagels, pasta, chicken and fish are a few examples.  These fryers have a shallower, but wider and longer cooking pot allowing more surface area for floating food products.
