Cooking is an art, but no artist can create magic without his tools. There are a lot of factors to consider if you are choosing a commercial-grade deep fryer that can accomplish the tasks you need.

Here are the things you need to consider to find the perfect one for you.

Size of The Machine

The size depends on what tasks you need to accomplish.

Things to consider when choosing the size

  1. Is it okay for you to use the same oil on different foods? If not, you should buy a machine that has a lot of fryers. If it is okay with you, go for the device with only one fryer, this is way cheaper.
  2. If you often fry frozen food, It is better to use a larger one. Frying frozen food causes water to evaporate on the oil, making hot oil splash everywhere and potentially harm you. A larger one can lessen these splashes.
  3. Consider how much food you will be frying; if you are cooking for a large group of people or working in a restaurant, It is better to buy a large one that has multiple fryers.
  4. It would be best if you didn't overfill your fryer, resulting in short recovery intervals between batches.

In general, it is best to pick a larger one, It may cost you more, but it can do a lot more than the smaller one.

Types of Commercial Fryers

Floor-model Commercial-grade Fryer

Floor fryers can also handle smaller food items like fries and onion rings, but their ability to recover fast and maintain constant temperatures makes them significantly superior. 

The necessity for hood ventilation is a final but crucial factor when selecting a floor-model fryer. Most higher capacity fryers will need a complete hood with a fire alarm system.

This system may be hard to accommodate in some physical areas. When installing a floor fryer for the first time, you must verify your local regulations and get professional guidance.

Countertop Commercial-grade Fryer

If you own a small restaurant or food truck, a countertop fryer may be your primary piece of professional frying culinary equipment. 

Countertop fryers are ideal for frying tiny amounts of food such as french fries and onion rings.

Many electric-powered fryers use electricity, and oil fried with an electric element does not recover as rapidly as oil heated with a gas element.

Specialty Commercial-grade Fryer

You can often see Specialty fryers in bakeries, fairs, concession stands, and other foodservice settings.

Because they are not attempting to cook fish or fowl to acceptable temperatures, many specialized fryers use electricity for power.

Due to the nature of ingredients used, it doesn't pull as much heat out of the oil; This allows your speciality fryer to recover faster.

This quality of the fryer makes it easier to get the texture and crispiness your customers demand from funnel cakes, corn dogs, and pastries.
