Countertop & Floor Fryers: A Buying Guide to Help You Choose the Right Model
Jun 3rd 2022
Looking for a commercial countertop or floor fryer and wondering what the options are? Keep reading this buying guide to learn about the various models and options for Globe brand fryers.
We'll cover countertop fryers first; then floor fryers.
Selecting a Countertop Fryer
If you're selecting a countertop fryer, here are some things to consider:
- Gas fryers are generally best for higher-volume/all day frying operations. If fried food is a staple of your menu, we generally recommend a gas model in a size based on your production capacity.
- Electric fryers are generally best for small batch operations. If only certain elements of your menu are fried, we generally recommend an electric model in a size based on your production capacity.
We're happy to work with you to choose a fryer based on your needs, including comparisons against other brands. Call 800-972-4972 for help.
All Globe Countertop Fryers include:
- Nickel-plated fry baskets with cool-to-touch-insulated handles
- Thoughtful design for basket positioning and easy operation/cleaning
- Stainless steel, durable construction
