About Us

The Henny Penny Pressure Fryer (PFE 500 model shown with the Computron 1000 control) is a piece of commercial kitchen equipment known for pioneering and leading the pressure frying industry for decades. Frying under pressure allows for:

• Lower Cooking Temperatures: This helps extend the life of the cooking oil.

• Faster Cooking Times: This is crucial for meeting high-volume demand.

• Improved Food Quality: Pressure seals in the food’s natural juices and reduces the amount of oil absorbed into the product.
