Why Professional Kitchens Choose Pitco Fryers.

When choosing a commercial fryer, performance, reliability and consistency matter most. Operators need equipment that recovers quickly, holds temperature under pressure and keeps pace with service. Pitco built its reputation by delivering exactly that.

The Pitco fryers we stock reflect a practical, performance-led approach to commercial frying. Designed to work hard throughout service, they remain straightforward to clean and maintain — qualities that busy kitchens rely on every day.

Built for Consistent Output

Pitco designs its fryers to maintain stable cooking temperatures during periods of high demand. Gas and electric models alike heat efficiently and recover rapidly, helping kitchens produce consistent results even when cooking frozen products back-to-back.

Welded stainless steel tanks, efficient burner and baffle systems, and fixed immersion heating elements all contribute to predictable frying performance across a full service.

A Simple Innovation That Changed Commercial Frying

Pitco’s story begins in 1918, when founder J.C. Pitman set out to solve a common problem in commercial frying: food debris burning at the bottom of the fryer, breaking down oil and ruining flavour.

Pitco tackled this by introducing a dedicated cool zone beneath the heating area. Instead of sitting directly on heat, crumbs and sediment fell into a cooler area of the tank, reducing carbonisation and extending oil life. At the time, this was a major shift in fryer design.

That principle still drives Pitco fryer engineering today. The gas and electric models we stock continue to use deep, well-defined cool zones, efficient heat transfer and stable temperature control to deliver cleaner oil, more consistent cooking and fewer oil changes.

It’s a practical innovation rather than a flashy one — but it’s exactly the kind of thinking that has made Pitco a long-standing choice in professional kitchens.

Gas Fryers for Throughput and Recovery

Pitco gas fryers suit kitchens that rely on strong recovery and dependable output.

The SG14S Single Tank Gas Fryer delivers reliable day-to-day performance, combining efficient combustion with durable stainless steel construction.

For higher volume requirements, the SG18S Single Tank Gas Fryer increases oil capacity and output, allowing kitchens to handle large quantities without sacrificing temperature stability.

When menus require separation, the SG14TS Twin Tank Gas Fryer allows chefs to cook different foods side by side, helping prevent flavour transfer while maintaining consistent recovery across both tanks.

Electric Fryers Focused on Control and Safety

Pitco designs its electric fryers with control and safety firmly in mind.

The SE14S-SSTC Single Tank Electric Fryer uses fixed immersion heating elements to keep hot components securely positioned inside the tank. This design supports even heat distribution and safer operation, while solid state controls maintain stable temperatures throughout service.

The SE14TS-SSTC Twin Tank Electric Fryer adds flexibility by providing two separate frying zones within a compact footprint, allowing kitchens to cook multiple products at the same time without compromise.
