The Frymaster FPEL214CA OCF30E is a dual-frypot commercial electric fryer battery designed to maximize frying efficiency while significantly reducing oil consumption, energy usage, and operating costs in high-volume commercial kitchens. Featuring two 30 lb open-pot frypots with integrated oil-conserving technology, the fryer battery delivers the same production capability as larger traditional fryers while using approximately 40% less oil and 10% less energy. Its advanced frypot design maintains a higher fresh-to-used oil ratio, helping extend oil life, improve food quality consistency, and reduce overall oil replacement frequency.

The FPEL214CA incorporates Frymaster’s built-in FootPrint PRO filtration system and Automatic Top Off (ATO) system to streamline fryer management and reduce labor demands during busy service periods. The built-in filtration system encourages frequent oil filtering for improved food quality and longer oil life, while the ATO system automatically maintains proper oil levels for consistent frying performance throughout the day. Proprietary self-standing, swing-up flat-bar heating elements deliver efficient heat transfer and simplified cleaning access while contributing to ENERGY STAR®-level efficiency performance.

Equipped with the SMART4U™ 3000 programmable controller, the fryer battery helps operators monitor food quality, oil life, and fryer performance while providing automatic cook-time compensation and programmable menu management. Stainless steel construction, independent frypot architecture, deep cold zones, and advanced safety systems make the FPEL214CA ideal for quick-service restaurants, institutional foodservice, chain operations, and high-volume commercial kitchens focused on operational efficiency, sustainability, and reduced oil costs.
