Because of the unique design of the Medina River Master Fry 5 Gallon Fish Fryer, the cooking oil above the heating element stays at the desired temperature of 325 to 350 degrees, while the oil in the lower chamber remains much cooler. This construction allows any debris that falls from the fish or other foods being cooked to pass through the hot oil in the frying chamber into the cooler oil in the lower chamber. As a result, the debris is kept from burning, scorching, or continuously circulating in the upper frying chamber's cooking zone. So, the cooking oil does not go rancid and stays fresh longer. It is recommended that the cooking oil be replaced after 25 to 30 uses. There is a 70% savings on cooking oil when using the Medina River Master Fry 5 Gallon Fish Fryer when compared to the "bucket fryers" where the oil has to be replaced after 5 to 7 uses! Also, the fryer heats the five gallons of oil in less than 20 minutes, which saves time and money.
With the Medina River Master Fry 5 Gallon Fish Fryer, the fry baskets are loaded in the "up position" and then lowered into the fryer. This reduces the danger of splashing oil on an open flame and resulting in a fire, splashing hot oil and burning the cook, or splashing oil onto the patio and causing a stain. The flow-through round heating element allows the cooking oil to consume more of the BTUs. With conventional "bucket fryers," most of the heat is lost to the surrounding air. When a basket of fish is dropped into the Master Fry, there is no major temperature drop, so the temperature stays within a few degrees of the original temperature. The temperature stays more constant, so the food cooks faster and is less oily. If you need a fish fryer that will cook fast and save you money, then the Medina River Master Fry 5 Gallon Fish Fryer is definitely for you.
