Gas fryers

The advantage of a gas fryer over electric fryers is that loose food particles fall into the "cold spot" and can be easily drained away. This reduces burning, flavor transfer and the frequency of oil changes. However, they can take longer to heat up or reheat to the correct temperature. On ArchiExpo, these devices are arranged by characteristics such as pressurization or specific use (e.g., for doughnuts).

How to choose

Consider capacity, heating and recovery time, ease of control, frequency of oil changes and energy efficiency. Pressure models cook faster and more evenly, and limit the amount of oil absorbed by the food, but are more expensive. Determine how much space is required and whether constituent materials comply with applicable regulations.

The fryer should stand up to regular cleaning and resist chemicals, shocks and scratching. Verify maintenance requirements and ease of cleaning. The unit should be installed by a qualified professional and checked regularly.
