From French fries and onion rings to fried chicken and prawn tempura, most restaurants offer some sort of fried food. As such, deep fryers are undeniably an important equipment for most commercial kitchens. But, with so many brands and types of gas deep fryers for sale, how do you find one that is right for your business? Here are a few factors to consider before you make your purchase. Gas or electric? Commercial deep fryers are generally powered by gas or electricity, and sometimes the fuel option is chosen based on the kind of hook-ups already available in the kitchen. However, do remember that some types of fryers may only come in gas-powered models. Gas deep fryers may be more expensive, but they usually cost less to run in the long term. They are also able to heat up more quickly, and can get to higher temperatures, compared to electric fryers.
