The Frymaster FPEL114C OCF30E is a high-efficiency commercial electric fryer engineered to deliver premium frying performance while significantly reducing oil consumption and operating costs. Designed with Frymaster’s open-pot architecture and oil-conserving technology, the fryer uses up to 40% less oil than traditional fryers while maintaining comparable cooking output and reducing overall waste. The compact 30 lb frypot design, combined with a favorable fresh-to-used oil ratio, helps extend oil life and improve product consistency during continuous kitchen operation.

Equipped with a 14 kW heating system and proprietary self-standing, swing-up flat-bar heating elements, the FPEL114C provides efficient heat transfer, fast recovery, and simplified cleaning access. The built-in manual filtration system encourages frequent oil filtration to preserve oil quality and support consistent food flavor while minimizing labor complexity through a simple and safe filtration process. Advanced 3000 controller technology provides programmable cooking management, automatic load compensation, and fryer performance monitoring to improve operational consistency and food quality across high-volume production environments.

The fryer’s stainless steel frypot, cabinet, and door construction enhance durability in demanding commercial kitchens, while the deep cold zone, center-mounted RTD temperature probe, and integrated safety systems contribute to long-term reliability and operator protection. The FPEL114C is ideal for restaurants, quick-service operations, institutional kitchens, and high-volume foodservice environments seeking lower oil usage, improved energy efficiency, and streamlined fryer management without sacrificing frying performance.
