Perfect Fry Ventless Fryer: What You Need to Know

The Perfect Fry Company, now part of The Middleby Corporation, first began offering its ventless fryers in 1986 and received the Kitchen Innovations Award in 2010. Although its catalog includes several fully and semi-automatic fryers with hourly production capacities ranging from 30 to 90 pounds, all Perfect Fry fryers are countertop units that require only a couple feet of space for installation.

Common Questions About Perfect Fry

How does Perfect Fry work?

Perfect Fry fryers use a proprietary air filtration system and HEPA-style filters to contain grease-laden vapors, providing operators with ventless, odorless frying. They're also integrated with fire-suppression technology, so these fryers don't require hoods and other HVAC equipment, which can be cost prohibitive for some operations. Additionally, extensive alterations to some spaces may be limited by lease agreements or local codes, making traditional fryers impossible to install.

Why should I use a Perfect Fry machine?

Perfect Fry countertop fryers can be installed on an existing countertop in a restaurant or bar kitchen, commissary, kiosk, or concession stand without the need for additional venting components. The built-in filtration system contains grease-laden vapors and the odors that usually accompany them, enabling operations to fry in small or temporary spaces without being overwhelmed by the fumes that usually accompany fried foods.

Despite its compact size, a Perfect Fry deep fryer can keep up with the demands of a commercial foodservice operation. Other features of a Perfect Fry include multiple preset cooking settings for consistent results, Cook Time Sensitivity (CTS) to recognize temperature fluctuations and adjust the cooking time accordingly, and an automated loading system on PFA units.

How do I maintain my Perfect Fry?

Your Perfect Fry will be accessed from the front, so employees won't be required to regularly access the sides or back of the unit to perform maintenance or service. Manufacturer recommendations for maintenance include daily wipe-downs and weekly oil changes. Some stainless steel components can be removed and dishwashed or cleaned in a sink while additional components can be sprayed with oven cleaner or water-and-vinegar solutions, making these units simple to maintain. Consult the unit's owner's manual or spec sheet for more information on how to properly perform maintenance on it.
