The Frymaster 31814GF is a triple frypot, high-production gas fryer system engineered for commercial kitchens that require maximum output, efficiency, and advanced oil management. Featuring three frypots, each with a 63 lb oil capacity and an 18" x 14" cooking area, this system delivers exceptional throughput while optimizing oil usage, energy consumption, and kitchen space. The built-in filtration system enhances oil life, reduces waste, and streamlines operations, making it ideal for large-scale foodservice environments.

Powered by Frymaster’s Thermo-Tube heat transfer system, the fryer ensures superior heat distribution and rapid recovery, maintaining consistent cooking performance even during peak demand. The wide cold zone traps sediment away from the cooking area, preserving oil quality and improving food consistency. With electronic ignition, precise RTD temperature control, and durable stainless steel construction, the 31814GF is built for reliability and efficiency. Its triple frypot configuration maximizes production capacity without significantly increasing footprint, making it a powerful solution for high-volume kitchens.
