Floor Deep Fryers
Floor deep fryers are essential equipment in high-volume commercial kitchens, offering powerful and consistent frying capabilities for a wide range of foods. Unlike countertop models, floor fryers are larger and freestanding, making them ideal for restaurants, fast-food chains, cafeterias, and food trucks that need to keep up with heavy demand. They’re commonly used to prepare French fries, chicken wings, fish, donuts, and many other fried menu items quickly and evenly.
These fryers are available in gas or electric configurations, with gas units often preferred in commercial kitchens due to their rapid heat-up times and lower energy costs in some regions. Electric fryers, on the other hand, provide precise temperature control and are often easier to install in spaces without gas lines. Fry pots may be tube-style, open-pot, or flat-bottom, each designed to optimize performance based on the type of food being cooked and the level of sediment that might be produced.
One of the most important features to consider when choosing a floor fryer is its oil capacity and recovery time. Larger fryers can hold between 40 to 100 pounds of oil, which allows for batch cooking during busy service periods. Fast recovery times are essential to maintain consistent temperatures between batches, especially when frozen foods are introduced into the oil. This ensures food comes out crispy instead of greasy and undercooked.
Some advanced models include built-in filtration systems that extend oil life by removing food particles and sediment. These systems help reduce waste, save money on oil, and improve the taste and quality of fried foods. Additionally, programmable controls, automatic basket lifts, and digital displays can make operation more efficient and reduce the margin for error in busy kitchens.
