This unit features a cool zone in its fry tank, which collects excess batter and crumbs and allows them to sink to the bottom of the tank for easy cleaning.

    This unit comes with a 3/4" gas connection to be installed by a professional.

Millivolt Controls

An easy-to-use Invensys thermostat lets you adjust temperatures between 200-400 degrees Fahrenheit, so you'll be able to fry a variety of foods perfectly every time.

Three Tube Burners

Three 30,000 BTU heating tubes provide outstanding power to fire up the unit quickly when the day begins and keep up with demand for fried food items throughout the day.

Wire Mesh Fry Baskets

Two wire mesh fry baskets allow you to cook different products simultaneously, while the red coated handles ensure heat protection and operator comfort. This feature provides you with maximum flexibility so you can cook fries in one basket and mac and cheese bites in the other. Additionally, you could designate a particular basket for frying allergenic foods to avoid cross contamination.

Full Port Drain Valve

The full port drain valve makes draining used oil a quick and easy process. Eliminating the requirement of removing an oil pan manually, the drain valve prevents accidental oil spills, and minimizes costly accidents.

Basket Hangers

The convenient basket rails allow for quick removal from the fryer tank to drain away excess oil. They also allow you to hang the baskets at two different heights, which comes in handy when using one basket to collect items being fried with the other.

Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

My business is at a high elevation; does this change anything when I order gas cooking equipment?
Many gas equipment manufacturers need to make adjustments to the equipment so it operates correctly at elevations over 2,000 feet. Sometimes we can special order from the manufacturer and have your cooking equipment delivered ready-to-go, but in cases where your unit is in stock and waiting to ship, you’ll need to have a qualified service technician come to your location and alter your unit at the time of installation so that it is compatible with a higher elevation. Contact our Special Orders team prior to placing your order, and we will let you know what will work best for the equipment you are planning to purchase.
Both fryers have the same overall dimensions, but the 50 lb. fryer has a bottom tank that holds an additional 10 lb. of oil. The 40 lb. model features a curved bottom tank, while the 50 lb. model has a more open design, making it challenging to provide precise measurements.

Bad customer service from webstaurant. 1 fryer works fine. the 2nd I purchased doesn't work at all as pilot light won't stay on. They told me to contact warranty. Warranty never picks up the phone. i've left countless messages as we can't do without a fryer with no response. As a paying customer for webstaurant plus spending thousands and thousands of dollars for our restaurant needs this may be what does it for me in cancelling webstaurant.

We appreciate your review, Sun. Our Customer Solutions team will remain in contact with you about this.

Fryer worked for two weeks and then stopped working when the Pilot light would not stay lit. Webstaurant would not honor the warranty because it wasn't installed by a 'certified installer'. They can't tell you who is a 'certified installer', but apparently you must be one or else the warranty is voided for the item. Interesting.

Bought two. Worked well for a bit, but then pilot kept going out and would not remain lit. Wasted a lot of money having certified repairmen work on both units. Worked for a minute, then broken again...... How can I run a restaurant when BOTH fryers are out? Warranty is garbage - just a money grab. I will not be purchasing again. Will go elsewhere and lay out a little more money to have piece of mind!

We had a very disappointing after purchasing this fryer. The purchasing process was simple enough. The delivery of the fryer itself was great. We were notified before it was delivered and were able to coordinate a time that worked. We bought this equipment with a deadline to open. After using it for only one day, the pilot light wouldn't stay lit. We had the technician come back and take a look and he discovered that the thermostat was no good. We weren't very happy that a two-day old machine had a broken part, but he reassured us that it came with a warranty. After reaching out to take advantage of the warranty, they refused to pay the part and labor cost, so this fryer ended up costing much more than we had planned on paying for it. Please use caution when buying as the equipment doesn't always work upon arrival and the warranty may not cover the repairs. Maybe look for a company with a better warranty agreement.

Thank you for your review, Charles! We are sorry this product has not worked well for you. As stated in the warranty, all service must be performed by an authorized service technician with approval from Ready Kitchen Warranty. It is important to contact Ready Kitchen Warranty before any work is done on the unit in order to ensure warranty coverage. Please reach out to a Customer Solutions Representative with any questions.

If I could give this fryer a zero i would. DO NOT BUY THIS FRYER. Nothing but problems. Bought 2. Have had 3 gsl valves replaced. Both thermopiles. In use only 5 months. Now takes 6 minutes for oil to rexover o temp after frying anything. Pilot lights take forever to start. Just a bad investment. Yes repairs were covered by warranty but not even in use 6 months! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

This fryer works really well without taking any space. It gets the job done, we haven't had any issues with it so far. The fryer takes a good amount of oil, but can be used frequently.

I purchased 2 of these fryers in 2021 for my new restaurant. Been going strong with no issues. Decent volume restaurant, we do 150+ covers on Friday and Saturday nights. The cost of this fryer for the work horse it is, ya cant beat it! Cheers, Chris Chef/Owner of Ms. Sally's

I guess all depends on your expectations, For me I just needed a second fryer to help on the weekends. So far I bought 2 the first one I put it together by myself and it was super easy, first one has been operating for 2 years, the second one 1 year and a few months. It was worth it

Just bought this 14 months ago. The thermometer gauge went out so now the grease gets way too hot and blows out the pilot light. Contacted customer service here and, of course, it's no longer covered under warranty so we have to call local service. Who knows how many hundreds of dollars we will sink into getting this fixed. We have spent lots of money with Webrestaurant.....guess we will consider shopping somewhere else from now on.

Thank you for your review, Allyson! We are sorry this product has not worked well for you. Action has been taken to remedy this. Please reach out to our Customer Solutions team if you have any questions!

Main Street Fryers are crap. Lasted 2 weeks before began having problems. I have been in the restaurant business since 2000 and servicing all my equipment since then at all my locations. As you can imagine I have had many different fryers, Royal, Imperial, Globe, etc. The problem with Main Street are the components. First the Gas Valve stopped working after 2 weeks. I Bypassed the Temp Control and the gas valve would not open. After replacing the gas valve I got it to open and heat. While checking out the temp control accuracy I noticed it would not always shut off when the temperature was reached or if I turned the knob to almost to the "off" position. I worked the control knob back and forth and got it to shut off. But told my guys it would probably Read More

The main street fryer was very easy to install. The fryer reaches temperature in a short amount of time. The fryer has excellent recovery time. We will be ordering from this line in the future for replacements.
