The Pitco SG18-S Gas Fryer is a game-changer for commercial kitchens, combining energy efficiency with powerful performance. Part of the Solstice™ series, this 90lb floor model uses advanced heat-exchange baffles in its natural gas burners, delivering uniform heat while reducing gas costs compared to traditional fryers. The blower-free Solstice technology ensures rapid temperature recovery, minimizing downtime during peak service, while its stainless steel construction resists rust, scratching, and corrosion—ideal for high-volume restaurant environments. Whether you're frying breaded items, chicken, or donuts, this fryer maintains precise oil temperatures between 200-400°F, thanks to a millivolt thermostat, ensuring consistent results every time. The heavy-duty design, including a reinforced door with a 3/16-inch hinge to prevent sagging, makes it a reliable workhorse for commercial kitchens. Additionally, the tube racks prevent oil burning by directing sediment to the cold zone, extending oil life and reducing maintenance. If you're looking for a high-performance, energy-efficient gas fryer that balances durability and cost savings, the Pitco SG18-S is the smart choice for restaurants, cafeterias, and fast-food operations.
