Fryer

Fryers that have earned the ENERGY STAR are up to 30 percent more energy efficient than standard models.

Earning the ENERGY STAR

ENERGY STAR qualified fryers include both gas and electric open deep-fat models. Fryers that earn the ENERGY STAR must meet a minimum cooking efficiency* of 50 percent (gas) and 80 percent (electric) while also meeting a maximum idle energy rate of 9,000 Btu/hr (gas) and 1,000 watts (electric).

Energy efficient fryers that have earned the ENERGY STAR offer shorter cook times and higher production rates through advanced burner and heat exchanger designs. Frypot insulation reduces standby losses resulting in a lower idle energy rate.
