Professional fryers for your restaurant

In the catering universe, from traditional restaurants to food-trucks or catering services, the professional fryer is a central element: it is the key to offer crispy, golden fried food of consistent quality. Properly equipping this type of appliance is essential to ensure smooth service and a satisfying experience for your customers.

Why choose a professional fryer?

A good fryer allows you to cook quickly and accurately, maximizing performance in times of high demand. Moreover, being designed for intensive use, it offers superior durability and complies with the hygiene and safety standards required in a professional environment.

What criteria should be taken into account for the selection?

Power type: electric or gas. Electric fryers are noted for their precise temperature control and ease of installation, while gas fryers offer higher power and are often well suited to high volume services.

Cuve (vat) capacity: depends on the volume you expect to produce. The higher the volume, the higher the capacity and power of the unit must be to maintain an optimum temperature even in intensive service.

“Cold zone”: this technology allows frying residues to be deposited in the lower part of the tank without overcooking, extending the oil’s shelf life and improving the quality of the fried food.

Safety and ergonomics: pay attention to safety systems such as cold wall, safety thermostat, drain valves, stainless steel design, etc.

Type of installation: table-top or cabinet (“chest”) fryer. Table-top fryers are more compact and suitable for small spaces; cabinet fryers offer greater autonomy and production capacity.

Other characteristics to be taken into account

When choosing your professional fryer, don’t hesitate to also look for certain specific features depending on your situation and the results you want to achieve:

The presence of a drain tap: it allows to maintain the fryer quickly and to drain the oil in an instant.

Automatic oil filtering: this method allows frying several foods in a row, such as doughnuts and French fries, to limit energy consumption. The risk of flavors or odors being transferred from one food to another is avoided. It is also a recommended option for healthier cooking.

The choice of a bulb thermostat ensures extremely precise temperature control. Note that the double safety thermostat automatically shuts off in case of insufficient oil level.

In a nutshell

To select the right professional fryer, start by defining the hourly production you expect, whether you will use oil for fresh or frozen frying, whether you prefer electric or gas, and the space available on your cooking line. Then, consider the other factors (capacity, cold zone, ergonomics, safety) to make the smartest choice.
