The Frymaster HD160G is a high-capacity commercial gas fryer engineered for demanding foodservice operations that require rapid recovery, high production output, and efficient oil management. Featuring an 80 lb frypot capacity and Frymaster’s advanced Thermo-Tube heat-transfer system, the HD160G delivers efficient heat transfer with lower idle costs and reduced gas consumption per pound of food cooked. Its enlarged 6" diameter heat tubes and proprietary baffle design increase heat-transfer surface area while minimizing heat stress on the oil, helping extend oil life and maintain consistent frying performance during peak production periods.

Designed specifically for high-volume frying applications, the HD160G incorporates a wide cold zone and forward-sloping frypot bottom to separate sediment from the cooking area and simplify routine cleaning. The Thermatron® temperature controller maintains precise oil temperatures within ±1°F for fast response to changing cooking loads, while the robust RTD temperature probe, electronic ignition system, and stainless steel construction support long-term reliability in busy kitchens. The HD160G is ideal for restaurants, QSRs, commissaries, and institutional kitchens frying large quantities of fries, chicken, breaded foods, and other high-demand menu items.
