L20-293 specifications

The Pitco Frialator L20-293 is a powerful and versatile commercial deep fryer designed to meet the demands of high-volume frying in various food service settings. Known for its reliable performance, the L20-293 is ideal for restaurants, food trucks, and catering services that require consistent cooking results and efficiency.

One of the key features of the Pitco L20-293 is its impressive oil capacity, which allows operators to fry large batches of food without the need for constant oil replenishment. With a 40-pound oil capacity, this fryer is capable of handling a wide range of menu items, from crispy French fries to golden-brown chicken. The large tank not only increases productivity but also allows for better oil temperature maintenance, ensuring that food is cooked evenly and to perfection.

This model leverages advanced heat transfer technology, incorporating a patented "Front-Edge" design. This innovative heating system uses a combination of open tank and a baffle system to create a more efficient heating process. The design not only reduces oil degradation but also enhances cooking efficiency, which is crucial in busy kitchens where time is of the essence.

Another noteworthy feature is the adjustable temperature control, which provides precise temperature management up to 375°F. This flexibility allows chefs to experiment with different cooking techniques and optimize fry quality for various food types. Additionally, the fryer is equipped with a built-in filtration system, which extends the life of the oil by removing food particles, thus saving on oil costs and improving overall food quality.

Safety is also a priority in the design of the L20-293. The fryer includes various safety features such as a high-temperature shut-off, which prevents overheating, and an easy-to-use basket lift system that reduces the risk of burns during operation. The stainless steel construction ensures durability and easy cleaning, making maintenance more manageable in fast-paced environments.

Overall, the Pitco Frialator L20-293 is a top-tier choice for commercial kitchens.
