Commercial Deep Fryer Capacity
The Magic Chef commercial gas fryer provides a 35 Qt oil tank that holds up to 50 lb or 8.8 gal of oil for high-volume deep frying. It is built for professional kitchens that need to produce large batches of chicken, French fries and other fried items quickly. Four cast-iron burners deliver 120,000 BTU of heating power. The stainless-steel body and nickel-plated baskets with vinyl-coated handles are designed for durability and operator safety.
Installation Requirements
This unit requires a natural gas connection and must be installed in a commercial kitchen with proper ventilation and gas supply infrastructure. Verify that your facility can support the 120,000 BTU gas demand and that local codes permit the installation of a fryer with a 1-1/4 in. drain port for oil removal. The temperature range spans 122°F to 375°F, so confirm your menu items fall within this window before ordering.
Workflow Integration
The front-mounted 1-1/4 in. drain port simplifies oil changes and frees up staff time during busy service periods. Four burners with built-in deflectors promote even heat distribution across the fry pot, reducing the need for constant monitoring. Stainless-steel construction withstands heavy daily use, while the vinyl-coated basket handles protect operators from heat during repetitive loading and unloading.
