Top of the line system…
This is no toy made in China. Pitco equipment is built with pride by Americans in Bow, New Hampshire and it shows. They have been building top of the line commercial fryers since 1915 and have earned their reputation in high demand restaurants all over the world for long lasting reliability and easy no-brainer operation. If you’ve been associated with the commercial food service industry for more than 10 minutes you already know that Pitco builds the best when it comes to professional grade fryers.
The SFSSH-55 is rated at 55 lbs. It has auto ignition and comes with a melt cycle and a boil-out cycle. It also comes with a basket timer and if you are a one man show in your kitchen then using a fryer with programmable timers is priceless. Just drop the basket hit the button and go do anything else. No more trying to remember how long the basket has been down and no more mistakes. When the order is done, the timer will let you know. You will love having it when the kitchen gets slammed!
A stand-alone timer in my opinion is much better than an OEM digital display. With any brand of fryer, having a factory controller is great until any part of it quits working. When the controller has issues, you are dead in the water until you replace it, and they can go as high as $3,500.00 for a touch screen.
If this timer fails from, for example, a power surge, you don’t lose the use of the fryer. You keep right on producing and can replace the $70.00 controller whenever you get around to it. It really is a great way to go. You can mount it right on the front of the fryer or on the wall next to it.
The fryer is in excellent condition. The wells is spotless. The burner area behind the doors is like new. The fryer operates as you would expect a new fryer would and the filter comes on fast and runs smooth. If you would like to see and hear this fryer up close, I would be happy to FaceTime with you so you can walk around it in real time. You will find our number in the picture watermark.
The Energy Star rated burner is the same dependable burner design Pitco has been using for over 50 years. It is designed to handle large orders of chicken, fries and seafood. If your business depends on a lot of frying and you are squeezed for available room under the hood, this is the best equipment you can own!
