memories ensure precise cooking times.
SAVE ON ENERGY COSTS.
The exclusive burner design coupled with the patented heat
reclamation baffle ensure optimum heat transfer while
saving up to 40% in energy costs over atmospheric burner
models.
KEATING SAVES OIL COSTS IN THREE WAYS:
BETTER FRY POT DESIGN
LARGER COLD ZONE
INSTANT RECOVERY
®
1. You shouldn't have to wait on the fryer. A properly
designed fry pot ensures that the fryer has recovered its
temperature before the end of the cooking cycle. Keating
“INSTANT RECOVERY”®means continuous
performance.
“Serving Those Who Serve The Very Best”
®
2. The Keating frying vessel is 27% Cold Zone, the food
particles collected in the cold zone are unheated and
therefore do not carbonize and contribute to premature
shortening breakdown.
3. Keating’s INSTANT RECOVERY®feature means
frying at lower temperatures (325° – 335°F) extending
oil life while enhancing product quality.
EASY TO CLEAN.
Keating uses only 304 stainless steel in its frying vessel
design and polishes each vessel. The smoother the surface,
the less carbon build-up occurs, making cleaning easier. A
full 11/4" front drain allows easy draining of oil.
SAFETY CONTROLS ENSURE SAFE AND
ACCURATE COOKING.
The patented and precise thermostat controls cooking
temperatures to ±3°F. Hi-Limit control protects against the
oil and fryer overheating.
Each fryer goes through a rigorous 100% test before
shipping with every component carefully checked. The
actual temperature test chart is included with each fryer.
SPECIAL ORDER OPTIONS.
Keating gives you the widest range of options to ensure
your fryer is exactly suited to your needs.
