The Frymaster FPRE217TC is a dual high-efficiency electric fryer battery designed for demanding commercial kitchens that require strong 17 kW frying performance, precise temperature control, and integrated oil management. Each full frypot provides 50 lbs. oil capacity and uses Frymaster’s proprietary self-standing, swing-up, low-watt density heating elements for efficient heat transfer, long service life, and easier frypot access during cleaning. The TC configuration adds advanced electronic switching technology, which pulses power to the elements in smaller increments for improved reliability, tighter temperature control, and more consistent cooking results.
The built-in manual filtration system supports daily oil maintenance without separate filtration equipment, while the deep cold zone, rear oil flush, drain safety switch, and full-port drain valve help remove sediment and protect oil quality. With CM3.5 controls standard, RTD 1° compensating temperature sensing, melt cycle, boil-out mode, stainless steel frypot, door, and cabinet sides, the FPRE217TC is well suited for QSRs, institutional kitchens, cafeterias, and high-volume foodservice operations focused on consistency, energy efficiency, and long-term oil savings.
