The Frymaster MJ240 is a dual open-pot commercial gas fryer system designed for foodservice operations that need reliable frying capacity, fast recovery, and versatile menu production. Each frypot provides 43 lbs of oil capacity and uses Frymaster’s Master Jet burner system to distribute heat evenly around the frypot, creating efficient heat transfer and dependable cooking consistency for French fries, pre-breaded foods, and specialty fried items. The open-pot design supports easy cleaning, while the deep cold zone and forward-sloping frypot bottom help collect sediment away from the cooking area to protect oil quality during daily operation.
Built for straightforward operation and reduced maintenance, the MJ240 uses millivolt controls with no electrical connection required. Its centerline fast-action temperature probe supports accurate heat-up, cooking, and recovery, while the Master Jet burners require no burner cleaning or air shutter adjustments. With stainless steel frypot, door, and cabinet construction, EZ Spark™ push-button ignition, and battery-style configuration, the MJ240 is well suited for restaurants, cafés, snack operations, and commercial kitchens that require dependable dual-fryer performance in a compact footprint.
