Vulcan 1VK85A Gas Fryer - (1) 90 Lb Vat, Floor Model, Liquid Propane

Mozzarella sticks, hush puppies, fish, and chicken can be fried in the Vulcan 1VK85A PowerFry5® freestanding gas fryer's 19 1/2-inch-wide by 18 1/4-inch-deep frypot, which has a 90-pound-capacity. Included twin baskets secure food in place as it's lowered into the pot, while the baskets' plastic-coated handles minimize heat transfer for user safety when lifting the baskets from oil. For ergonomic use, this 21-inch-wide by 34 3/8-inch-deep by 47 1/8-inch-tall unit establishes a comfortable 36 1/4-inch working height. Its rust- and corrosion-resistant stainless steel cabinet and frypot are durable enough to endure high-volume, back-of-house use, and to simplify repositioning, it's fitted with four 6-inch casters, two of which can be locked to ensure stabilization during use.

Operators can adjust the Vulcan 1VK85A high-efficiency commercial fryer's temperature from 200 to 390 degrees Fahrenheit with the solid-state analog control knob located behind the door. When initially heating oil, the SoftStart® ignition system causes the unit to output 35,000 BTUs per hour to conserve energy, and the FivePass® heat transfer system evenly heats oil to minimize cold spots and expedite recovery times. Once the set temperature is reached, the idle temperature setting outputs 6,298 BTUs per hour to maintain the heat. If the unit's temperature gets hotter than the set temperature, it shuts off for user safety. To extend oil life, the frypot is built with a large V-shaped cold zone that collects sediment, minimizing the risk of debris burning and affecting oil taste. For simple cleanup, oil can be expelled from the 1 1/4-inch drain valve, while the tank and drain can be cleaned with the tank brush and clean-out rod.
