  • Pros: Excellent heat recovery keeps it performing during non-stop service periods.
  • Cons: Requires a professional Gas Safe engineer for installation, so factor that in.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Skipper, a bustling fish and  chip shop in Padstow, Cornwall, found their single fryer was creating a bottleneck during the tourist season. They upgraded to the Parry GDF twin tank gas fryer to manage their high volume and  separate their signature battered cod from their chips.

"Having the two tanks has completely streamlined our operation. The recovery time is fantastic, and  we're getting more consistent results. Our customers are happier, and  the queue moves so much faster now. It’s been brilliant for us."

Michael Edwards – Owner, The Salty Skipper

Since installation, The Salty Skipper has successfully increased its service speed by over 30% during peak evening rushes.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • This unit must be installed by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
  • Ensure it is positioned on a level, stable floor under a suitable extraction canopy.
  • Before first use, perform a full boil-out with a recommended cleaning solution to clean the tanks.
  • Check the gas connection is secure and  test the pilot light and  thermostat before filling with oil.

Keeping It Going

  • Filter the cooking oil daily to extend its life and  maintain food quality.
  • Clean the fryer tanks thoroughly at the end of each day's service once the oil has cooled.
  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and  appropriate cleaner.
  • Arrange for an annual service by a Gas Safe engineer to keep it running safely and  efficiently.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Fryer

Not sure which fryer fits your kitchen best? Here are a few key things to think about before you buy.

Gas vs. Electric

Gas fryers, like this one, heat up and  recover temperature faster, making them ideal for very high-volume sites. Electric models can be easier to install if you don't have a gas line.

Single vs. Twin Tank

A twin tank fryer offers ultimate flexibility, preventing flavour crossover and  allowing for different cooking temperatures. A single tank is great for businesses focusing on one main product, like chips.

Capacity and  Footprint

Consider your output. How many portions do you serve an hour? Match the tank capacity (in litres) to your needs, but don't forget to measure your kitchen space to ensure it fits!

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features like smooth, stainless steel tanks and  drain valves. A fryer that's easier to clean is more likely to be kept clean, improving oil life and  food hygiene.

Safety Features

A high-limit thermostat is a non-negotiable safety feature. It automatically cuts power if the oil gets too hot, preventing a fire hazard.

Why Independent Tank Controls Make All the Difference

Ever tried to cook delicate onion rings at the same temperature as chunky, triple-cooked chips? It doesn't end well. This is where the Parry GDF's independent controls for each tank become your secret weapon. It allows you to set precise, different temperatures in each 12-litre tank, simultaneously. You could have one tank bubbling away at a fierce 190°C for perfectly crisp potatoes, while the other is at a gentler 175°C for golden, battered fish.

Think of it like having two specialist chefs instead of one person trying to do everything at once. It means no compromises on quality, no flavour contamination between, say, spicy wings and  plain chips, and  a much more efficient workflow. This feature alone can elevate the consistency and  quality of your entire fried menu.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fish & Chip Shops: The ultimate double basket gas chip fryer for separating fish and  chips for perfect results.
  • Pubs & Bars: Effortlessly handle large orders of chips, scampi, and  onion rings during peak service times.
  • Restaurants & Cafes: Increase menu versatility by dedicating one tank to gluten-free or vegetarian items.
  • High-Volume Takeaways: Keep up with relentless demand and  maintain food quality with its rapid heat recovery.
