Donut / Funnel Cake Fryers
Funnel Cake and Commercial Donut Fryers
Commercial donut fryers are specialty fryers designed primarily for cooking funnel cakes and donuts in hot oil. These are flat-bottom fryers with external burners. Their unique design minimizes sediment production, so fried items float freely inside the oil tank. Battered products are placed in a strainer basket with handles. The basket is submerged into the shallow oil. Donuts or funnel cakes inside the basket first sink and then rise to the surface when frying is done. Finally, you can lift the strainer holding its handles and safely serve your finished products.
Commercial donut fryers are available in two models. Countertop units are smaller and occupy minimal footprint. You can look for models with adjustable legs to adapt the clearance between the fryer and your counter. These compact models can fry up to 80 dozen products per hour. Floor models are larger in size and capacity. They can have optional casters for mobility. A floor model would be better for businesses with peak funnel cake and doughnut demands. They can fry as many as 150 dozen donuts an hour with a larger oil tank.
Commercial donut fryers run on electricity or gas. Because funnel cakes and donuts do not pull as much hot oil as other fried products, electric and gas donut fryers recover quickly. Electric models can be more portable since electricity is the common power source everywhere. If your choice is a gas doughnut fryer, you must specify the gas type. Natural gas requires having gas lines in your facility. Food trucks, concession stands, or catering kitchens can benefit from the portability of LP gas.
Funnel cakes and donuts are among the most popular snacks in America. You can also fry these items in standard deep fryers, but fans would sense the flavor transfer. You can keep up with the demands and please the crowds only with a commercial donut fryer. Chef’s deal has countertop and floor models, especially from Comstock Castle, to fit your business type. You may also wish to see other commercial deep fryers to appeal to your customer’s unique tastes.
