The Dean D160G from Frymaster’s Decathlon D60 series is a high-performance gas fryer engineered for demanding commercial kitchens that require large capacity, fast recovery, and consistent results. With a generous 75 lb oil capacity and a spacious 18" x 18" frying area, it supports a wide variety of menu items—from high-turnover foods like fries to larger batch cooking—while maintaining efficiency in oil and energy usage.

Powered by the advanced Thermo-Tube heat transfer system, the fryer maximizes heat transfer efficiency through increased surface area, reducing heat stress on the oil and extending its usable life. The wide cold zone design captures sediment below the cooking area, ensuring cleaner oil and better-tasting food. Combined with precise RTD temperature control, electronic gas system components, and durable stainless steel construction, the D160G delivers reliable performance and long-term durability. Designed for high-volume operations, it provides an excellent balance of capacity, efficiency, and operational control.
