The Dean SR162G Super Runner is a high-capacity commercial gas fryer designed for all-purpose frying in busy foodservice operations that require larger batch capacity, dependable recovery, and simple daily operation. With a 75 lb. oil capacity, 18" × 18" frying area, and 150,000 BTU/hr input, this fryer is suitable for high-volume production of French fries, chicken, appetizers, breaded items, and frozen foods. Its Thermo-Tube heat-transfer system improves heat distribution and oil preservation by increasing heat-transfer surface area and reducing heat concentration on the oil, supporting efficient recovery and longer oil life.
The SR162G uses a wide cold zone and sloped frypot bottom to capture food particles below the cooking area and allow fast draining of oil and sediment during cleaning. A responsive temperature probe helps the fryer adjust quickly to load changes, minimizing wait time between batches and supporting consistent cooking performance. Built with a stainless steel frypot and door plus aluminized sides, the unit balances durability with value-focused construction. Its millivolt control system requires no electrical connection, making it practical for commercial kitchens that want strong gas frying output with simplified installation and serviceability.
