The Frymaster MJ45 gas fryer is specifically designed for high-volume frying. The exclusive 1 degree action thermostat anticipates rapid rate of temperature rise, reducing temperature overshoot, extending shortening life and producing a more uniformly-cooked product. The open stainless steel fry pot has a large heat transfer area to fry more product per load. Every inch of the fry pot and cold zone can be cleaned and wiped down by hand.
