The two primary categories of commercial deep fryers are gas and electric fryers, both of which come in floor and counter deep fryer units. If your primary goal is to save money on your commercial deep fryer, electric models are a good choice. With both floor electric fryers and counter top electric fryers, you can expect to save some money in operation costs because they don’t require natural gas for power. With that being said, gas fryers tend to heat up more quickly and offer more temperature control. This makes them the primary choice for fast food fryer applications.
