To ease the process of preparing fried fish, chicken, and dumplings, its included 91/4-inch-wide by 131/4-inch-deep by 6-inch-high twin fry baskets feature plastic handles to minimize heat transfer to hands. This unit is powered by liquid propane and uses computer controls to maintain set temperatures between 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit; these controls also feature ten menu timers that display product names and cook times. It outputs 80,000 BTUs overall, though it utilizes a SoftStart™ ignition the slowly warms oil and FivePass™ heat transfer system that evenly disperses heat to conserve energy.
