The Pitco 40D Gas Fryer is a workhorse for medium-volume foodservice operations, offering a balance of capacity, efficiency, and durability. With a 45 lb oil capacity and a 14x14-inch frying area, this floor model is designed for restaurants with limited space but high demand for breaded items like mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders, and onion rings. Its deep cool zone—containing at least 20% of the total oil—captures crumbs and sediments, preventing burning and ensuring consistent, high-quality frying. Built with a stainless steel tank featuring a smooth, welded finish, this fryer is easy to clean, with a removable basket hanger and a tube rack for level frying. Powered by natural gas (107,000 BTU), the 40D delivers efficient heat and combustion while accommodating a medium-volume workflow. Ideal for restaurants prioritizing performance, space efficiency, and low maintenance, the Pitco 40D is a reliable choice for commercial kitchens.
