Vulcan 1VK85D Gas Fryer - (1) 90 Lb Vat, Floor Model, Liquid Propane

For lasting durability, the Vulcan 1VK85D fryer's cabinet and fry tank are constructed of stainless steel. This 19 1/2-inch-wide by 18 1/4-inch-deep tank can hold as much as 85 to 90 pounds of melted shortening. To streamline oil removal and ease cleaning, it has a 1 1/4-inch full-port, ball-type drain valve, tank brush, and clean-out rod. Two fry baskets hold breaded shrimp, calamari, and chicken tenders as they're submerged into and removed from the oil; these basket handles are coated in plastic to protect users from burns. This fryer has a 36 1/4-inch working height for simplified vat access. To ease transportation for cleaning and maintenance, this 21-inch-wide by 34 3/8-inch-deep by 47 1/8-inch-high unit is mounted on four adjustable 6-inch casters; two of these casters can be locked for stability during operation.

This freestanding fryer has a digital thermostat that displays temperature readings in Celsius or Fahrenheit, and it generates temperatures between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit. So users can monitor cook times and ensure product is fully cooked, this unit has two countdown timers, and although this unit has a fast heat recovery system, staff can cook with actual or compensating time to accommodate temperature changes. Because this fryer offers three melt modes, it's compatible with solid oil and shortening.

To ensure heat is distributed consistently and evenly, the Vulcan 1VK85D LP gas fryer uses a FivePass® heat transfer system. It features an electronic SoftStart® ignition, which warms oil gradually at startup and minimizes the risk of scorching. To maintain oil color and taste over an extended period of time, this unit has a "V"-shaped cold zone that catches loose sediments and reduces risk of burning. An idle temperature mode puts the fryer into stasis during slow periodsa€”conserving energy. Meanwhile, a high-limit shut-off system protects the oil from exceeding the set temperature.
