  • Top-Notch Versatility: The dual tanks let you manage allergens or strong flavours with total separation.
  • Significant Footprint: As a freestanding unit, it requires a dedicated space in your kitchen layout.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Chippy on the Corner in Tenby, Wales, found their single fryer couldn't cope with the summer tourist season, leading to long queues and  lost sales. They upgraded to the Parry GDFP to double their output.

"Previously, we had to halt chip frying to cook fish, which was a nightmare on a busy Friday night. The Parry twin tank lets us do both simultaneously. Our service flow is so much smoother, and  customers are noticeably happier."

Rhys Jones – Owner

The result? They've successfully reduced average customer wait times by over 30% during peak holiday periods.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the fryer is positioned on a stable, level, and  non-combustible floor.
  • All gas appliance installations must be carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
  • Make sure the unit is placed under a suitable extraction canopy to comply with ventilation regulations.
  • Before the first use, perform a 'boil out' and  season the tanks according to the user manual.

Keeping It Going

  • Filter the cooking oil at the end of every day to extend its lifespan and  maintain food quality.
  • Wipe down all external stainless steel surfaces with a food-safe cleaner daily.
  • Perform a full 'boil out' clean once a week to prevent the build-up of stubborn carbon deposits.
  • Schedule an annual service with a certified engineer to inspect all gas connections, thermostats, and  safety features.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Fryer

Feeling a bit stuck on which fryer is right for you? Here are a few key points to mull over.

Gas vs. Electric

Gas fryers, like this propane model, generally heat up faster and  have quicker temperature recovery times, making them ideal for high-volume frying.

Single vs. Twin Tank

A twin tank gas fryer is crucial for preventing flavour transfer between different foods, essential for menus offering both fish and  other fried goods.

Capacity & Footprint

Match the oil capacity to your busiest service period. The 2 x 12Ltr tanks here are built for volume, just make sure you have the floor space for it.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features like front-draining taps and  stainless steel construction. They might seem small, but they save a huge amount of time on daily cleaning.

Volume and  Demand

Be realistic about your customer flow. Investing in a high-capacity unit like this prevents bottlenecks and  keeps customers coming back.

Why Two Tanks are Better Than One: The Independent Control Advantage

Ever tried to cook delicate, gluten-free items in the same oil you've just used for battered fish? It's a recipe for disaster. This is where the Parry's independent tank controls come in. Think of it not as one big fryer, but as two completely separate fryers fused into one space-saving unit. Each tank has its own temperature dial and  power source, so you can have one sizzling away at 190°C for perfect chips, while the other holds a steady 175°C for calamari or chicken. This setup is essential for preventing flavour contamination, managing allergens safely, and  ensuring every single item on your menu is cooked at its absolute optimal temperature.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fish & Chip Shops

    Keep your cod and  chips tasting distinct and  delicious by cooking them in separate, dedicated tanks.

  • High-Volume Restaurants & Pubs

    Smash through sides orders during the Sunday lunch rush without creating a bottleneck at the fryer.

  • Mobile Caterers & Event Stalls

    This powerful propane deep fat fryer is the perfect high-output solution for any off-grid event or food festival.

  • Bustling Takeaways

    Increase your kitchen's frying capacity to significantly reduce customer waiting times on your busiest nights.
