The Frymaster H55C-SD Energy Star® rated high efficiency H55 fryer is designed for high-volume frying with maximum fuel efficiency. The solid-state controller assures pinpoint accuracy of shortening temperature, extending shortening life and producing a uniformly-cooked product. The sensor is mounted in the center to permit quick sensing of any temperature drop caused by cold food placed in either side of the cooking area. The infrared power burner directs its heat on a large heat transfer area to fry more product with less fuel consumption. The open-pot design allows easy access so every inch of the frypot can be cleaned and wiped down by hand.
