Buying Guide: Commercial Fryers
Gas vs electric fryers
Gas fryers heat faster and suit high-volume restaurants. Electric fryers maintain steady temperatures and are ideal where gas isn’t available.
Benchtop vs freestanding
Benchtop units suit small kitchens with light frying needs. Freestanding fryers with twin pans handle bulk cooking in busy venues.
Heat recovery
Choose models with fast recovery times to maintain oil temperature and serve consistent results during peak hours.
Oil management
Look for fryers with built-in filtration systems or pair with oil filter machines to extend oil life and reduce costs.
Brands & reliability
Trusted suppliers include Fagor, Blue Seal, Gasmax, Thor, and Anets — designed for Australian commercial kitchens.
FAQ
What size fryer do I need?
Cafés and food trucks may only need benchtop 5–8L fryers, while restaurants and QSRs require 20L+ freestanding models.
Can I reuse frying oil?
Yes — with proper filtration and storage. Many fryers include oil filtration systems to extend oil life safely.
Are gas fryers more efficient than electric?
Gas heats faster and is better for high turnover. Electric provides more stable temperature control, especially for delicate items.
Do I need single or twin-pan fryers?
Twin-pan fryers let you cook different foods without flavour transfer — ideal for menus with seafood and chips cooked separately.
What’s the starting price for commercial fryers?
From $XX+GST, depending on size, fuel type, and brand.
