The Henny Penny PFE-500 pressure fryer combines legendary pressure-frying technology with the intuitive Computron 8000 control system. This delivers juicy chicken and other breaded proteins in less time, at lower temperatures, and with noticeably longer oil life. The built-in stainless-steel filtration system, compact 19.7-inch footprint, and heavy-duty construction make it a dependable, space-saving workhorse for busy quick-service restaurants, supermarket delis, and catering operations.

Key performance advantages:

• The 12 psi pressure frying seals in moisture, reducing oil absorption and cook time.
• The low-wattage 3 × 3750 W immersed elements (11.25 kW total) recover heat quickly, which helps cut energy costs.
• The cold-zone below the elements and the proportional temperature control extend the life of the oil.
• The patented lid-lock with a color-keyed spindle guarantees a perfect seal and won't open until the pressure is less than 1 psi.
• The built-in Max oil filter system returns hot oil in minutes, without the need for external pumps, pans, or messy handling.
• The stainless-steel construction, raised deck edge, and soft corners make daily clean-up faster and easier.

Computron 8000 smart control:

• Allows you to program 10 different cooking cycles with digital displays for time and temperature.
• Has Melt, Idle, and Clean-out modes to minimize energy use when the machine is not actively cooking.
• Automatically adjusts cooking based on the load size and detects water to protect the quality of your food and the equipment.
• Reminds you when it's time to change the oil filter and lets you customize the filter tracking to keep the oil at its best.

Included with this fryer:

• A removable open basket with legs and a locking handle for easy access to the food.
• A stainless-steel filter pan, a filter screen, and two filter envelopes to help keep the oil clean.
• A filter rinse hose attachment with a male quick disconnect for easy cleaning.
• Four swivel casters, two of which lock, for convenient mobility around the kitchen.

Why choose pressure frying?:

• Pressure frying is up to 35% faster than traditional open frying, and it can be done at 25°F (14°C) lower temperatures.
• Pressure frying locks in the natural juices of the food, resulting in consistently tender and flavorful results.
• Pressure frying uses less energy and extends the usable life of the cooking oil, which can help reduce the cost per pound of food cooked.
