The Frymaster 1FQE60U FilterQuick® electric fryer is a high-production, oil-conserving commercial fryer engineered for foodservice operations that demand maximum throughput, advanced oil management, and reduced operating costs within a compact footprint. Featuring a large 63 lb open frypot with an expansive 18" × 14" cooking area, the fryer delivers the cooking capacity of larger multi-fryer systems while reducing oil usage, energy consumption, and hood space requirements compared to traditional 50 lb fryers.
Built around Frymaster’s advanced FilterQuick® automatic filtration platform, the 1FQE60U streamlines oil management with fingertip automatic filtration, rear oil flush functionality, and optional Oil Quality Sensor (OQS) technology for real-time oil condition monitoring. The FQ4000 easyTouch® touchscreen controller simplifies cooking, recipe management, and operational control with programmable menus, intuitive navigation, and cloud connectivity capability.
Proprietary self-standing, low-watt density heating elements transfer up to 89% of generated heat directly into the oil, improving energy efficiency while maintaining fast recovery and high production performance. The deep cold zone, precision RTD temperature probe, and sloped frypot design help extend oil life, improve food consistency, and simplify sediment removal. Combined with durable stainless steel construction and independent frypot design, the 1FQE60U is engineered for long-term reliability, operational efficiency, and high-volume commercial performance.
