The Frymaster 31814EF is a triple frypot, high-capacity electric fryer system engineered for commercial kitchens that require maximum throughput, efficiency, and advanced oil management. With three frypots, each offering a 63 lb oil capacity and an expansive 18" x 14" frying area, this unit delivers exceptional production output while optimizing oil usage and kitchen space. The integrated filtration system ensures extended oil life, reduced waste, and lower operating costs, making it ideal for large-scale foodservice operations.

Designed with proprietary self-standing heating elements, the fryer provides efficient heat transfer and rapid recovery for consistent cooking performance. The deep cold zone and precise RTD temperature probe help maintain oil quality and food consistency even during continuous high-volume operation. Built with durable stainless steel and featuring an open-pot design for easy cleaning, the 31814EF is a powerful, space-efficient solution for high-demand kitchens such as QSR chains, commissaries, and institutional foodservice environments.
