Henny Penny first introduced commercial pressure frying to the food service industry more than 50 years ago. Frying under pressure enables lower cooking temperatures for longer oil life, and faster cooking times to meet peak demand. Pressure also seals in food’s natural juices and reduces the amount of oil absorbed into product.
Today, Henny Penny pressure fryers continue to lead the industry in performance, durability, and innovation.
The Henny Penny PFE 561 electric pressure fryer offers a larger capacity fry pot in our standard pressure fryer footprint. High-efficiency immersed heating elements generate fast temperature recovery and welcome energy savings. These models also have industry-friendly features like the Henny Penny PFE 591 cooks up to 8 heads of freshly breaded bone-in chicken in a single load and the Henny Penny PFE 500 High-efficiency heating elements generate fast recovery and energy savings.
Henny Penny pressure fryers have a patented lid lock and color-keyed spindle that make it easy to create a perfect pressure seal every time.
A built-in filtration system filters and returns hot frying oil in minutes. No separate pumps and pans, no handling hot oil.
The Computron™8000 control features automatic, programmable operation, as well as energy-saving, filtration, and cook management functions.
The Computron™1000 control offers programmability in a simple, easy-to-use digital control panel with LED display.
