The five main types of commercial fryers include: gas tube fryers, Energy Star gas fryers, open pot fryers, electric Energy Star floor fryers, and flat bottom fryers. Tube fryers are a strong fit for breaded, high-sediment foods, thanks to fast heat-up and recovery plus a cold zone that traps particles and helps protect oil quality. Energy Star gas tube fryers cook more efficiently with advanced burner and heat exchanger designs while using durable stainless steel and galvanized steel construction to support long-term performance.

Open pot fryers are great for low-sediment items like fries and hash browns, including a V-shaped design that adds capacity and cuts cleaning time compared to tube fryers. Electric Energy Star floor fryers feature 208 and 240 volt options with submerged heating elements, quicker recovery than gas, and an extra-wide cold zone to reduce flavor transfer and conserve oil. Flat bottom fryers are preferred for donuts, funnel cakes, and wet batters, using a wide flat bottom to maximize capacity, tube elements to maintain temperature, and a lid that doubles as a drip tray.
