Fryers

Commercial deep fryers are a vital asset for restaurants and bars that serve delectable fried dishes like chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks. These fryers come in both floor-standing and countertop versions, and they are offered in both gas and electric models to suit your specific kitchen needs.

Commercial Fryers

Fried food is often the fastest moving part of the menu, and the fryer behind it needs to keep pace with orders all night without losing oil temperature. A commercial fryer that recovers heat quickly after each basket drop keeps ticket times consistent, whether you're running wings, fries, mozzarella sticks, or a full fried food program.

Chef Mart Restaurant Supply stocks commercial gas fryers for restaurants, bars, caterers, and foodservice operations across Houston and beyond. We carry Migali and Royal Range fryers in countertops and floor-standing configurations, all backed by a team that knows commercial kitchens and a Houston showroom where you can see the equipment in person before you buy it.

If your kitchen has a smaller footprint or you need a fryer for a satellite station, the Royal Range RCF-25 Gas Countertop Fryer holds a 25 lb oil capacity across three 18,000 BTU burners for 54,000 BTU total, with thermostatic and millivolt temperature control from 200°F to 400°F.

For a full floor-model fryer,
the Royal Range RFT-50 Gas Floor Fryer runs a 50 lb oil tank across three 38,000 BTU burners for 114,000 BTU total. Step up to the Royal Range RFT-60 Gas Floor Fryer or Royal Range RFT-75 Gas Floor Fryer for a 60 or 75 lb tank and higher BTU output when your fry volume grows, or consider the Royal
Range REEF-35 Gas Floor Fryer
, a 35 lb capacity model built for kitchens that need a full floor fryer without the largest tank size.

We also carry Migali gas fryers with 40, 50, and 75 lb oil tank capacities, ranging from roughly 90,000 to 170,000 BTU depending on tank size and gas type. Every Migali fryer uses a Robert Shaw thermostat for temperature control from 200°F to 400°F, a stainless-steel exterior and interior, chrome wire mesh baskets, and a removable basket hanger for easier cleaning. Migali fryers are backed by the Migali Protection Plan, which includes a 1-year parts and labor warranty and a 5-year warranty on the fryer tank itself.

Every fryer we carry is on the floor at our Houston showroom, where our team can walk you through tank capacity, BTU output, and recovery time in person before you buy.

Choosing the Right Fryer Capacity

Fryer capacity is measured by oil tank size, and the right size depends on how much fried product moves through your kitchen during a typical shift.

●   25 to 35 lb fryers suit lower-volume kitchens,bars, and menus where fried items are a smaller part of the lineup.

●   40 to 50 lb fryers cover most full-service restaurants running a steady volume of fried appetizers and entrees.

●   60 to 75 lb fryers are built for high-volume kitchens, wing-focused concepts, and operations frying continuously through peak hours.

If you're not sure which capacity matches your menu and ticket volume, bring your numbers into the showroom and our team will help you figure out what makes sense before you commit.

Countertop vs. Floor Model Fryers

Both styles do the same job, but the right format depends on your kitchen layout and how much oil you need on hand at once.

Countertop fryers fit on an existing counter or equipment stand, making them a good option for smaller kitchens, food trucks, or operations adding fry capability without a dedicated floor footprint.

Floor model fryers stand independently and typically hold more oil, which suits kitchens running fried items at higher volume or as a core part of the menu.

If you're building out a full cookline, pair your fryer with our restaurant ranges and griddles to round out the rest of your setup, or add an equipment stand to bring a countertop fryer up to working height.
