Flat Bottom Frying for Wet-Batter Products

Flat bottom fryers have no tubes in the frypot, so product can free-float in the oil without sticking or tearing. The heavy-gauge mild steel tank is made for stickless wet-batter frying: funnel cakes, donuts, tempura, fritters, battered fish and specialty items. A marine front edge holds batter trays, and 9" of clearance under the fryer makes floor cleaning easy.

Blower-free burner technology gives dependable heat with no combustion blower to maintain. A solid state temperature controller with automatic melt cycle, matchless ignition (the pilot lights once a day at power-on) and a hermetically sealed drain valve interlock are standard.
