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

For streamlined operation, the Vulcan 1VK85D freestanding fryer has digital temperature controls that can be adjusted between 200 and 390 degrees Fahrenheit. This thermostat displays temperatures in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. To keep track of cook time, this unit features two countdown timers; staff can cook with actual or compensating time, which accounts for temperature fluctuations. Because the fryer has three melt modes, operators can use solid shortening without the worry of overheating the unit.
To provide uniform temperature distribution and reduce heat lag between frying, this natural gas fryer uses a FivePass® heat transfer system. Its electronic ignition features SoftStart® technology, which gradually heats oil at startup and minimizes scorching risks. For quality preservation, this unit has a "V"-shaped cold zone that captures particulates and minimizes burning that could affect oil taste and color. An idle temperature mode conserves energy by putting the fryer into stasis when it's not in use; a high-limit shut-off system inhibits temperature increases to limit burnt food.
The Vulcan 1VK85D fryer features a sturdy stainless steel cabinet with a 19 1/2-inch-wide by 18 1/4-inch-deep, stainless steel fry tank. This tank can hold as much as 85 to 90 pounds of oil, and to streamline oil removal, it has a 1 1/4-inch full-port, ball-type drain valve; an included tank brush and clean-out rod further aid cleaning. Its two fryer baskets neatly contain french fries, mozzarella sticks, and chicken tenders as they're transferred to and from the oil, and to reduce the risk of heat transfer, the handles are plastic-coated. So staff can access the fry vats, it has a 36 1/4-inch working height. To ease transportation, this 21-inch-wide by 34 3/8-inch-deep by 47 1/8-inch-high unit is mounted on four adjustable 6-inch swivel casters. Two of these casters have locks to hold the unit in place during use.
