Vulcan 1VK85A Gas Fryer - (1) 90 lb Vat, Floor Model, Natural Gas

Powered by natural gas, the Vulcan 1VK85A PowerFry5™ commercial gas fryer can output 90,000 BTUs per hour. To enhance energy efficiency, it features a FivePass™ heat transfer system that evenly warms oil to eliminate cold spots, reduce cooking time, and expedite recovery time. For simple startup, this unit can be electronically ignited, and operators can adjust temperatures from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit using the solid-state analog knob controls located behind the cabinet door. If using solid shortening, staff can select one of the fat-melt modes to streamline melting. The SoftStart™ ignition system slowly heats oil initially to conserve energy; when it reaches the set temperature, the idle temperature setting causes the unit to output 6,298 BTUs per hour to maintain the required heat.

The Vulcan 1VK85A freestanding, energy-efficient fryer's 19¹⁄₂-inch-wide by 18¹⁄₄-inch-deep frypot accommodates 90 pounds of cooking oil. The two included baskets can be used simultaneously in the frypot to contain foods as they're fried, and for user safety, their handles are coated in plastic to minimize heat transfer. This 21-inch-wide by 34³⁄₈-inch-deep by 47¹⁄₈-inch-tall unit's cabinet and frypot are made of resilient, rust- and corrosion-resistant stainless steel that can survive high-volume back-of-house use. For employee comfort, it provides a 36¹⁄₄-inch working height. Its four 6-inch casters provide smooth mobility to ease repositioning; during use, two of the casters can be locked in place.
