CKE HGF-74 Commercial Gas Fryer, 28L Vertical Floor Model, 36,000 BTU

Our review

This is a floor-standing gas fryer from CKE, model HGF-74, built around a single large tank with a stated 28-litre capacity split into two 14-litre operational zones, and a 36,000 BTU per hour burner. The double-basket layout and vertical floor design point to a kitchen where frying runs continuously rather than in occasional small batches, such as a fast-food outlet, catering operation, or a busy restaurant line. Before buying, confirm your gas supply type and pressure match the unit, check that the floor footprint and clearance fit your kitchen, and think about how you will handle the oil volume at changeover. Compare it with smaller countertop fryers if your output is modest, and with twin-tank models if you need to fry separate items at different temperatures at the same time. It is available on Sokonia.
