The Frymaster 1FQE80U FilterQuick® 80 electric fryer is engineered for high-production commercial kitchens that require maximum frying capacity, strong energy efficiency, and simplified oil management. Featuring an 80-lb. oil capacity open frypot with a large 18" × 18" frying area, the fryer is designed to handle demanding menu applications including bone-in chicken and fresh-breaded products while delivering up to 84 lbs. of fries per hour. Frymaster’s proprietary self-standing, swing-up, low-watt density heating elements provide efficient heat transfer, long service life, and an impressive 83% ASTM energy efficiency rating, helping operators reduce energy costs while maintaining high output performance.

The standard FQ4000 easyTouch® touchscreen controller simplifies cooking and filtration operations with programmable recipes, intuitive controls, and oil management functionality. Built-in automatic filtration with rear oil flush encourages more frequent filtering to extend oil life and maintain product consistency, while the optional Oil Quality Sensor (OQS) provides real-time oil monitoring for improved operational control. Additional features including a deep cold zone, RTD compensating temperature probe, front oil disposal system with washdown hose, 8 GPM filtration pump, and stainless steel construction make the 1FQE80U a strong solution for quick-service restaurants, institutional kitchens, chicken concepts, and other high-volume foodservice operations seeking efficient production with reduced maintenance and operating costs.
