Choosing a Frymaster Fryer for Your Commercial Kitchen
A Welbilt brand sometimes referred to in conjunction with its sister company, Dean, Frymaster is a leading provider of commercial fryers, offering gas and electric floor model fryers that are NSF certified and ENERGY STAR qualified. Below, you can learn more about the brand's four main series, which have specific features to ensure any operation can find the right Frymaster fryer for their kitchen.
Which Frymaster Fryer Do You Need?
Whether your operation has a high-volume kitchen requiring a battery of fryers or needs to equip cooks with a reliable fryer that won't break the budget, there's a Frymaster fryer capable of meeting your kitchen's demands while saving resources. In addition to deciding whether your commercial kitchen requires a gas or electric unit, you should consider which operational features may most benefit your business.
Oil-conserving Fryers
For businesses turning out high volumes of product, the FilterQuick Fryer Battery is an excellent heavy-duty option. It features an open-pot design, which is easy to clean and best suited to low-sediment foods, such as mozzarella sticks and other prebreaded frozen items. These feature a built-in filter, programmable controls, and an automatic top-off system that keeps your oil fresh. These fryer batteries come with two, three, four, or five frypots, each with a 30-pound oil capacity.
Great for kitchens cooking multiple types of food at once, OCF30 fryers feature between one and three 30-pound vats and a built-in filter to easily clean the oil. Dubbed the Ultimate Oil-conserving Fryer by Frymaster, these fryers are engineered to produce more food per gallon and extend the life of the oil being used.
1814 high-production fryers meet demands for high-volume frying in a smaller footprint, with a twin-vat unit capable of providing the same capacity as three smaller, less-efficient fryers. That means these fryers require less hood space to properly ventilate the grease-laden vapors produced during the cooking process.
High-efficiency Fryers
High-efficiency Frymaster fryers are designed with ENERGY STAR guidelines in mind, meeting and often exceeding the standards set forth for achieving the ENERGY STAR rating. Options in this category include:
- The ESG35T, a 35-pound gas fryer with a cooking capacity that matches that of a 45-pound fryer.
- H55 fryers and those from the HD Series are gas fryers suitable for efficient, high-volume frying.
- The RE Series, offering electric units with 14kw, 17kw, and 22kw models available.
- HPRE fryers, Frymaster's electric answer for efficient, high-volume frying.
Economy Fryers
Designed for busy commercial restaurants on a budget, Frymaster's economy fryers have as much variation to choose from as the company's premium series and include fryers from its sister company, Dean.
The Dean Super Runner Series includes gas and electric fryers equipped with Frymaster's proprietary Thermo-tube design, which has a wide cold zone that catches crumbs and other debris from high-sediment foods. Another option with this technology, the Dean Decathlon gas fryer – also called the Performance fryer – meets high-volume demands with a quick recovery time.
Other gas fryers in this category include standard gas fryers, all-purpose machines that lack specialized engineering but still offer the performance and reliability Frymaster equipment is known for. The Master Jet series is named for its burner system, which doesn't need to be cleaned or adjusted. These are available with 40-, 50-, and 80-pound vats with general-purpose designs as well as the MJCF, which is specialized for frying breaded foods.
