The Pitco SSH55R gas fryer is a workhorse designed for high-performance deep-frying in commercial kitchens. Part of the Solstice Supreme™ series, this 50lb LP floor model delivers reliable performance with a stainless steel tank, front, and sides built to withstand daily use. Its drain valve interlock system automatically shuts off heat when the valve is open, preventing overheating and oil scorching—a critical safety feature for busy kitchens. With solid-state controls, chefs can achieve precise temperature adjustments, ensuring consistent results every time. The fryer also includes a boil-out and melt cycle, which simplifies oil management, while the matchless ignition system eliminates the need for an open flame, reducing the risk of accidents. The self-cleaning ignition system maintains burner efficiency by minimizing carbon buildup, and downdraft protection stabilizes burner performance, making it ideal for high-volume operations. For restaurant owners and chefs prioritizing durability, safety, and efficiency, the Pitco SSH55R is the ultimate choice for commercial deep frying.
