• Ideal for continuous cooking

Professional chefs often choose gas fryers because they maintain consistent oil temperatures even during peak trading periods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose LPG or Natural Gas?

LPG is ideal for mobile catering and locations without mains gas. Natural Gas is generally the preferred choice for permanent commercial kitchens.

What size fryer do I need?

The correct fryer depends on your expected food output, available space and menu. Larger restaurants and takeaways often benefit from twin tank freestanding models.

Are gas fryers cheaper to run?

Where mains gas is available, commercial gas fryers are often more economical to operate than equivalent electric models, particularly during prolonged service periods.

Countertop or freestanding?

Countertop fryers are ideal for smaller kitchens and lower output. Freestanding models are designed for higher-capacity commercial cooking.

Do I need a Gas Safe engineer?

Yes. Commercial gas catering equipment should always be installed and commissioned by a qualified commercial Gas Safe engineer in accordance with current regulations.

Can I cook different foods in a twin tank fryer?

Yes. Twin tank fryers allow different foods to be cooked separately, helping reduce flavour transfer and allowing different temperatures where required.

Do you stock spare parts?
