Shallow Fryers
#8050D FW-12 Fryer with Drain Board and drain. Illustrated with "Donut Screen" – an extra cost option.
The standard of the industry for large Funnel Cake Fryers and/or Elephant Ears Fryers has been the FW-12. Easily work four 8" Funnel Cakes or two large diameter Elephant Ears or 12 French Waffles – your choice. 5500 watt elements should produce about 100 Funnel Cakes per hour – average size. 22, 1/2W x 17, 1/4D. Cook surface 21 x 15, 3/4. For the really BIG locations, use two, three or four at one time – only heat up all four during the busiest periods – cut back to one during the slow periods – an effective way to triple the "pot life" of your cooking oil! Always order this size fryer with drain.
Note: All fryers on this page manufactured with drains, only.
#8066 Hot Shot Hi-Watt Shallow Fryer
The Hot Shot Hi-Watt Shallow Fryer has an additional 1000 watts that enables you to virtually pour Funnel Cakes continuously. Capacity approximately 125 average size 8" Funnel Cakes per hour.
CAUTION: If you use two or more fryers, do not cook the product on one side in the first fryer and then flip over to the other side in the second fryer. Complete both sides in the fryer you start with. If your oil temperature drops below 375 degrees, grease absorption goes up dramatically – as you add more shortening, temperature goes down even farther. Do it correctly – complete each product in the fryer you started cooking it in.
#8066 Hot Shot Hi-Watt Shallow Fryer 6500 watts, 22, 1/2W x 17, 1/4D x 10"H, includes drain valve and tray for use primarily in fire emergency – 230 volts only, 35 lb. fat capacity.
You asked for it – a higher capacity shallow fryer – one that will easily do six Funnel Cakes at a time and keep up with virtually a continuous "pour and cook both sides" from a single fryer. With the proper tools, two K-6 Shallow Fryers could produce between 300 and 400 average Funnel Cakes per hour! At $2.00 to $3.00 each, depending upon the toppings, it’s easy to see how quickly these units will pay for themselves! Drain board is furnished primarily to keep under the counter and "cover" the fryer at night or in case of an emergency, such as a fire.
#8075 K-6 Shallow Fryer, 6,500 watts and requires 32 amps, 230 volt minimum. 27, 3/8W x 17, 1/4D x 10"H, to back of powerhead. Oil depth approx. 3" cold to 4" hot.
#5013 Lift Off Style 8" Funnel Cake Mold Ring, normally two are used when utilizing the K-6 for Funnel Cakes.
The professional operators ask for it – this may be ideal for you. A completely non-electric gas-fired Funnel Cake Fryer! A virtual "Money Machine" for those big special events. Work six to eight Funnel Cakes at a time – but if you like to pour and cook the first side in one fryer and then "finish" in a second, you’ll only work five at a time with this, maximum. Equipped with thermostat, safety pilot and drain. Suitable for trailer mounting when mounting instructions are followed.
#5099 Gas Funnel Cake Fryer (for Elephant Ears, too). 30W x 27D x 25"H – 77,000 BTU’s derived from three burners – LP gas only. All stainless steel construction. Tank is 23D x 7, 3/4"H and holds 50 lbs. of oil – you must allow 10" clearance all around rear and two sides.
