Renowned for its efficiency and durability, the L20-378 meets the demands of busy restaurants, fast food chains, and catering operations that require consistent performance and outstanding results.

One of the standout features of the L20-378 is its impressive fry tank capacity. With a 40-pound oil capacity, it can handle a significant amount of product at once, allowing for simultaneous frying and the ability to serve large volumes quickly.

As a result, operators benefit from faster cooking times and exceptional product quality, with crispy exteriors and tender interiors.

Moreover, the unit's durable construction is a key characteristic. Built with stainless steel, the L20-378 is not only resistant to corrosion but also easy to clean and maintain.

The L20-378 is equipped with user-friendly controls that allow for precise temperature settings and consistent frying results. This ease of use ensures that even less experienced staff can operate the fryer efficiently, minimizing the risk of mistakes during crucial cooking processes.

Another important aspect of the Pitco Frialator L20-378 is its safety features. These include built-in automatic temperature controls and high-limit protection to prevent overheating, contributing to a safer working environment. Additionally, the fryer is designed with a cool zone that helps catch food particles, reducing the likelihood of oil breakdown and extending the oil life.

In summary, the Pitco Frialator L20-378 is an exceptional fryer that combines large capacity, advanced heating technology, durable construction, and user-friendly controls. Its focus on efficiency and safety makes it a preferred choice for busy kitchens that demand reliable frying solutions capable of producing high-quality food consistently.
