Pitco Reviews

Pitco 40s fryer

Wife used it for a couple days before the virus shut us down. She says its perfect for what we need it for. We use it for fries, fried mush, tenderloins, anything that can be fried. Its perfect for our restaurant. Definitely recomend it.

Cooks great!

I bought this and an 80# Pitco fryer at the same time, about a month ago, for my bar. I use the 45# fryer specifically for wings. It works great, cooks great, pilot/flame is blue and beautiful! My only complaint is the cold zone...the wing debris sticks to the bottom of the zone. I have to scrape diligently and luckily I have a hot water hose that with some minutes will loosen much of the debris, then I soak the pot with dawn and hot water (approx 220F) for about 15 mins, then I can get it off (the 80# is used for all other fried "bar food" and doesn't have this issue at all). I've used boil out on previous fryers but hate the chemicals & fumes, plus it pitted the tank. So in talking with a 25yr chef, he said he had same problem with boil out and to use the dawn and hot water for best results without heavy chemicals. The basket and the grate do also collect the wing debris quite a bit, but they are very easy to clean, everything comes right off. The wings do stick to the basket if not shaken well doing first few minutes, but not typically a concern. I would recommend this product.

I bought this and an 45# Pitco fryer at the same time, about a month ago, for my bar. I use the 80# fryer for all fried bar food except wings (45#). It works great, cooks great, pilot is blue, but the flame is blue & yellow (reason for 4 stars, would be 5 if I can get all blue like my 45#)...I've adjusted the burner as much as possible to get the blue flame, but if I go any lower there's not enough flame to recover quickly. I'm keeping my eye on the burner flame as my previous 70# fryer was all yellow flame and caused massive soot build up causing flames to shoot out the front and up the flue. This was a mess, so I'm hoping don't see soot build up over time. This is so easy to clean. I have a hot water hose that I use to rinse excess debris, then I soak the pot with dawn and hot water (approx 220F) for about 15 mins,. I've used boil out on previous fryers but hate the chemicals & fumes, plus it pitted the tank. So in talking with a 25yr chef, he said he had same problem with boil out and to use the dawn and hot water for best results without heavy chemicals. I'm sticking with the dawn method. The basket and the grate are also very easy to clean, everything comes right off. I would recommend this product.

I have now ordered this product twice.

This is the second fryer and it is awesome and the ease of order and quick delivery with free shipping makes it worth the $.

The BOMB

This is the fastest recovery fryer, with the smallest footprint that I could find. It is better than any other fryer I've used, Keating, Star, etc..

out standing

After setting up the Pitco fryer for my customer she began using it right away. They are very happy with it and will soon be purchasing another one for sure
