If you're in the market for a fryer specifically designed for frying donuts, funnel cakes, and other batter-based goods, the gas-powered Frialator FBG24 Flat Bottom Fryer from Ptico should be your top choice. This floor model gas fryer features a single 24" x 24" fry tank with a total oil capacity of 57 to 87 lbs.
The fryer is equipped with a simple-to-use solid-state T-stat that safely maintains the temperature and includes a boil out mode and melt cycle. If you prefer a more advanced control system, a digital thermostat with a countdown timer is also available.
To ensure optimal frying of battered goods, the fry tank has a flat bottom and is made from heavy-gauge mild steel to prevent sticking. The tank is welded and features a smooth peened finish, making it easy to clean and reducing downtime. The front, side, backsplash, and door of the fryer are constructed from stainless steel, providing easy-to-maintain surfaces that will remain in good condition throughout the life of the fryer.
With a gas input rate of 100,000 BTU/hr and blower-free burner technology, this fryer is extremely reliable. It has fewer mechanical parts that can fail over time since it doesn't rely on a burner to generate heat. The gas control valve stops gas from flowing into the main burner until the pilot is lit. For safety, a temperature limit switch will automatically switch off the unit if it reaches dangerous temperatures.
The fryer comes with a 1/14" full port drain valve, drain extension, and drain line clean out rod, making it quick and easy to remove oil. A drain plug and a free sample of fryer cleaner are also included.
The fryer is equipped with various standard features and accessories, including a drain plug, cleaning brush, 9" legs, filter scoop shovel, drain line clean out rod, removable flue splash guard, built-in integrated flue deflector, blower-free burner technology, 1 ¼" full port drain valve, heavy-duty gauge mild steel tank, filter powder and fryer cleaner sample packets, and a stainless steel front, door, sides, and splashback.
