Which capacity to choose? How to choose your power? Which power supply to choose between gas and electric?

Which capacity should I choose for my professional fryer?
Tank capacity
For a professional fryer, if you want good performance, count at least 6 liters of oil for the capacity of your tank.
You should know that the capacity of the tank of your fryer is strongly linked to its power. A commercial deep fryer with a tank with a large capacity will need more power to be fully profitable.
If you want to make a large production of fries, a tank with a large volume is essential for fast cooking. This rule applies particularly to the preparation of frozen fries.
The power of your professional fryer
The power of your appliance is a very important parameter for making crispy fries. If the power of your appliance is too low, the fries will come out soft and soaked in oil.
The more powerful your professional fryer, the faster the temperature rise will be. Indeed, when you put frozen fries in your tray, the temperature of the oil will suddenly drop. A fryer with a suitable power will fit easily.
The resistance of this one will start heating again to raise the temperature. This will give you crispy, perfectly cooked fries. Otherwise, if your fryer lacks power, your fries will take too long to cook and you will get fries soaked in oil… You light be interested at similar catering equipment such as char grills or cooktops.
