Why this free standing fryer earns its place
The Pitco CE-35CS on natural gas is built for kitchens that have a gas main and demand consistent, economic frying. Stainless steel construction inside and out means it'll outlast most of the menu you serve from it. The 18.5-litre tank holds enough oil for serious volume — 28.6 kg of chips per hour — which translates to service rushes without downtime or corner-cutting on quality.
The engineering is where Pitco earns its reputation. Triple tube heating delivers fast, even temperature recovery — you drop a basket, the oil snaps back to temp, no dead time between batches. The cool zone feature creates a dead space at the tank base where debris settles, away from the heat. That means your oil stays clean and usable longer, cutting waste and cost. The integrated splash guard keeps hot oil confined, and the drainage spout lets you empty the tank without muscling 73 kg of hot metal around.
Natural gas connection means you're drawing from the mains — no bottled gas to manage, no running out mid-service. Once plumbed in, it's set and forget. Cost per unit of heat is lower than propane, and you'll never face a supply interruption. The two included baskets are stainless and easy-clean, designed for the pace of professional kitchens.
