Fryers & Accessories: Additional Information

Commercial fryers are a vital part of any commercial or industrial kitchen, especially those serving multiple fried foods, such as fast food establishments.  The fryers and accessories section of the KaTom website holds 8 smaller sections that contain everything you will need to ensure the proper functionality of your fryer.

Commercial Restaurant Fryers

Commercial restaurant fryers are frequently used in commercial kitchens to quickly produce crispy, ready to eat products in minutes. Deep fryers can be purchased in either floor models or countertop models, both having the option of gas or electric varieties. Gas fryers are typically cheaper than electric models and have a quick start up and recovery time. Electric fryers are extremely efficient, but require slightly more energy to operate. The low-watt design on electric fryers tend to extend the life of both the oil and heating elements.

Fryer Baskets

The fryer baskets section holds a variety of basket styles, from regular fryers baskets to specialty baskets for making taco shells. Fryer baskets are essential to the operation of a fryer because of their basic function. These units are dipping into the hot oil and left there to cook. Fry baskets also have a long handle to allow you to grip the basket without placing your hand near the hot oil.

Gas Connectors

Gas connectors are a vital part of ensuring that your fryer works properly. Connectors create a positive seal from one hose to another, creating a air-tight area for gas flow. This section has male to male connectors or male to quick disconnect connectors.

Taco / Mexican Food Baskets

Taco / Mexican food baskets are especially designed to fry tortilla shells to form various outer shells for different types of Mexican cuisine. Tostada baskets, taco salad shaped baskets, and taco shell baskets can be found in this section.

Pressure Fryers

Pressure fryers are a variation of pressure cookers, where meat and cooking oil are brought to high temperatures while pressure is held high enough to cook the food quickly. Pressure fryers are frequently used in commercial and industrial kitchens, perhaps most famously at KFC to fry their world famous chicken. These fryers utilize low pressure to promote faster cooking times at low temperatures, which reduces the amount of heat loss. These fryers work by sealing the outside of the food while steaming it on the inside with its own natural juices. Pressure fryers can be used to fry foods such as fish, chicken, vegetables, meats, and many other types of foods.

Fry Scoops

The fry scoops section holds uniquely shaped scoops that pick up a certain amount of fries to be placed into holders that are given to customers most frequently at fast food establishments. Fry scoops make the job of moving fries into to-go containers much easier and safer for employees.

Filters and Holders

The filters and holders section has all of the products you will need to ensure that the oil in your commercial fryer stays clean longer, which reduces waste. Filter papers and holders can be purchased separately, but work well together to filter oil. Mobile fryer filters are also found in this section. These units can be attached to the actual fryer and use a suction force remove and clean oil. Oil is then transferred back into the fryer to be used.

Fryer Screen Grates

Fryer screen grates catch and hold small particles out of the oil. These screen grates help to extend oil life by removing unnecessary pollutants.
