Product Details

Imperial’s Gas Tube Range Match Fryer is engineered for commercial kitchens that demand long-lasting performance and powerful results. Crafted with precision and durability in mind, the fryer features fully welded and polished stainless steel seams. The fryer is designed to match any IR range in a line up for a clean, professional finish that stands up to the toughest kitchen environments. The 105,000 (31) BTU's provide fast recovery and heats oil quickly resulting in better tasting food. The large heat transfer area rapidly heats oil to the desired temperature and the large "cool zone" helps capture food particles, prolongs oil life and reduces taste transfer.
This fryer stands on plate-mounted, 6-inch heavy-duty stainless steel legs or optional casters—ensuring secure support and easy mobility when needed.
