Shreveport, La. – Industry leader Frymaster LLC, has introduced the E4 Fryer-and-a-Half Electric Fryer. This unique electric fryer is specifically designed to meet the frying needs of space-constrained operations that want to offer menu items with different frying needs. The Fryer-and-a-Half combines a full frypot and a half-size frypot together with Frymaster’s patented Footprint PRO® filtration system in one unit to provide a powerhouse of frying versatility in a small footprint. Additionally, it can be used under a ventless hood, offering a frying solution to nontraditional restaurant operators.

The Fryer-and-a-Half is a world-class performer, despite its small footprint. With industry leading energy efficiency, it exceeds federal ENERGY STAR® standards with an 83.6 percent ASTM rating. It delivers outstanding energy efficiency which reduces cost of operation and keeps excess heat out of the kitchen.

“The Fryer-and-a-Half offers a unique and versatile solution to foodservice operators who don’t have the typical frying needs,” said Brenda Fried Humphreys, vice president of marketing for  Frymaster, an Enodis company. “It also offers the features that Frymaster is known for, including ease of use, maintenance and cleaning, in an industry-leading energy efficient package.”

Like all E4 series fryers, the Fryer-and-a-Half (model number RE14-7) has completely enclosed swing-up elements that provide full access to the frypot, allowing every inch to be cleaned and washed down by hand. The large surface area offered by the ribbon design of the elements efficiently transfers heat to the oil.

The hands-off Footprint PRO system allows the entire filtering operation to be completed in about four minutes. Its ease of operation makes frequent filtering simple and safe. Filtering extends the life of expensive oils, thereby reducing operating costs, and contributes to consistent high-quality, great-tasting foods that satisfy customers.

Specifically designed for high performance in small spaces, the E4 Fryer-and-a-Half contributes outstanding value to any foodservice operation with premium durability, energy efficiency and reliability.
