Parry GDF Double Gas Pedestal Fryer – Twin Tank

The Parry GDF is a freestanding double gas fryer built around two independent tanks, each with its own burner and thermostat. The pedestal-mounted design brings the unit to a practical working height without requiring a separately fabricated stand, and the fryer can operate as a standalone unit or sit as part of a continuous cooking suite.

Running two tanks independently is a genuine operational advantage in busy service environments. Different products can be cooked simultaneously without flavour transfer — chips in one tank, battered fish or chicken in the other — and if one tank needs draining or cleaning mid-service, the other continues working. For kitchens running continuous covers, this kind of redundancy removes the throughput bottleneck that a single-tank fryer can create at peak times.

• Each tank thermostatically controlled for consistent oil temperature throughout service
• High-limit thermostats and flame failure devices fitted to both tanks
• Available in natural gas or LPG to suit site supply
• Pedestal base provides working height without additional fabrication cost
• Suitable for standalone positioning or integration into a cooking suite

Installation requires a mains gas supply of the correct type — confirm natural gas or LPG at the point of ordering. Adequate overhead extraction is essential, as it would be with any gas-fired fryer at this output. The pedestal base establishes a fixed floor footprint, so measure the available space carefully beforehand. All gas installation work must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

The GDF 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 — large contract kitchens or venues frying at sustained high throughput — a heavier-duty model with greater tank capacity may be the more appropriate choice. For lighter or less frequent use, a single-tank gas fryer is likely more proportionate.
