The Vulcan 1VK45C commercial gas fryer is a powerhouse in the restaurant kitchen, designed to deliver consistent, high-quality frying with minimal energy waste. As part of Vulcan’s award-winning PowerFry5™ series, this 50 lb fryer features the advanced FivePass™ heat transfer system, which evenly distributes heat throughout the oil, reducing cooking times and recovery lag. This ensures faster service while maintaining the perfect crisp without sacrificing flavor. Restaurant operators will appreciate its rugged, corrosion-resistant stainless steel frypot and cabinet, built to withstand the demands of a busy commercial kitchen. The large V-shaped cold zone beneath the burners collects sediment, preventing oil degradation and extending its lifespan.

With programmable controls that allow for 10 timers, three melt modes, and precise temperature settings (200–390°F), this fryer adapts to various menu requirements while maintaining energy efficiency. The idle temperature mode further saves costs by reducing energy output to just 4,251 BTUs per hour once the desired temperature is reached. Whether you're frying breaded items, chicken, or french fries, the Vulcan 1VK45C is built for performance, durability, and efficiency—making it a must-have for restaurants, fast-casual chains, and foodservice operations.
