Parry GDF Double Gas Double Pedestal Fryer

The Parry GDF is a freestanding double gas fryer built around twin independent tanks, each heated by its own gas burner. The pedestal-mounted configuration raises the units to a practical working height without requiring a fabricated stand, and the design allows the fryer to be used as a standalone unit or positioned as part of a continuous cooking suite.

In a busy service environment, having two separate tanks is a meaningful operational advantage. Different products can be fried simultaneously without flavour transfer — chips in one tank, battered fish or chicken in the other — and if one tank requires cleaning or maintenance mid-service, the other can continue working. Twin-burner setups of this type are well suited to kitchens running continuous covers, where a single-tank fryer would create a throughput bottleneck during peak periods.

Key operational features include:

• Thermostatically controlled temperature on each tank for consistent results
• High-limit thermostats and flame failure devices for safe, unattended operation
• Available in natural gas or LPG to suit different site supplies
• Pedestal mount provides working height without additional fabrication
• Suitable for standalone use or integration into a cooking range

Installation requires a mains gas supply of the appropriate type — natural gas or LPG depending on the model ordered — along with adequate ventilation overhead, typically a tested extraction canopy. The pedestal base means the unit occupies a defined floor footprint, so accurate measurement of the available space is important before ordering. As with all gas equipment in commercial kitchens, installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

This fryer is well suited to pub kitchens, fish and chip operations, school catering, and similar settings with consistent fried-food demand across a service period. For very high-volume sites — festival catering, large contract kitchens, or venues frying at extremely high throughput — a heavier-duty model with larger tank capacity may be worth considering. Equally, for smaller operations, a single-tank gas fryer may be a more proportionate choice.
