The Frymaster 21814GF is a dual frypot, high-production gas fryer system engineered for commercial kitchens that require increased capacity, efficiency, and advanced oil management. Featuring two frypots, each with a 63 lb oil capacity and an 18" x 14" cooking area, this unit delivers exceptional throughput while optimizing oil usage, energy consumption, and kitchen space. The built-in filtration system simplifies oil maintenance, extending oil life and reducing operating costs, making it ideal for high-volume foodservice operations.

Powered by Frymaster’s Thermo-Tube heat transfer system, the fryer provides superior heat distribution and faster recovery, ensuring consistent cooking performance across both frypots. The wide cold zone traps sediment away from the cooking area, preserving oil quality and enhancing food consistency. With electronic ignition, precise RTD temperature control, and durable stainless steel construction, the 21814GF is designed for reliability and efficiency. Its dual-frypot configuration allows operators to significantly increase output without expanding footprint, making it a practical solution for busy restaurants and QSR environments.
