The Gold Medal 8073BF Countertop Electric Fryer is a space-saving, high-performance deep fryer designed for commercial kitchens with limited counter space. With a 47 lb oil capacity and 8-inch oil depth, this fryer is perfectly suited for high-moisture foods like flowering onions and french fries, delivering consistent, crispy results without the need for excessive oil. Its compact, countertop design allows it to fit seamlessly into even the smallest kitchens, making it ideal for food trucks, concessions, and high-volume restaurants. The tubular heating element sits 2 inches above the bottom of the vat, ensuring food particles fall beneath it to prevent burnt flavors, while the single thermostat recovers temperature efficiently and a high-limit thermostat automatically shuts off power if the oil becomes too hot. This fryer is built for durability and performance, with a 2-year parts warranty and 6-month labor warranty, making it a reliable choice for commercial cooking operations. Whether you're frying onions, fries, or other heavily breaded items, the Gold Medal 8073BF delivers consistent, high-quality results with minimal oil waste and maximum efficiency. Pair it with compatible baskets like the Gold Medal 8077 skimmer or 8052 full-size fryer basket for optimal performance.
