The device shown in the picture is a Pressure Fryer, primarily used for preparing broasted chicken in restaurants. Based on the digital control panel which contains number buttons (0-9) and three digital displays, the type can be identified as follows:
Model: This type is often classified under the 600 or 500 model category (e.g., PFG-600 for gas or PFE-500 for electric).
Control System: This panel comes with a digital control system known as Computron 8000, which allows programming multiple different cooking cycles and precise adjustment of temperature and time.
Manufacturers:
Henny Penny: This is the original leading American brand for this design.
Chinese/Commercial Versions: There are widespread commercial versions (Chinese-made) that come with the same control panel design and user interface as the "American model," and are widely used in local broasted chicken shops.
Features of this type:
Speed: Pressure frying significantly reduces cooking time compared to open fryers.
Quality: Pressure helps lock juices inside the chicken, making it tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Capacity: It usually has a capacity of about 25 liters and is sufficient for frying 10 to 15 chickens per cycle.
