Description
The Frymaster 21814EF is a dual frypot, high-production electric fryer system designed for commercial kitchens that demand maximum output, efficiency, and advanced oil management. Featuring two frypots, each with a 63 lb oil capacity and an expansive 18″ x 14″ frying area, this unit delivers exceptional throughput while maintaining optimal oil usage and space efficiency. The built-in filtration system enhances oil longevity, reduces waste, and minimizes operational costs, making it ideal for high-volume foodservice environments.
Equipped with proprietary self-standing heating elements, the fryer achieves efficient heat transfer and rapid recovery times, ensuring consistent cooking performance. Its deep cold zone and precise RTD temperature probe maintain oil quality and food consistency during continuous operation. Constructed with durable stainless steel and designed with an open-pot configuration for easy cleaning, the 21814EF provides a powerful yet space-efficient solution for restaurants, QSRs, and large-scale kitchens seeking increased capacity without expanding footprint.
