How it works:
1. Thermostat-controlled heating
elements (A) are located around the
perimeter of the fry pot, above the
bottom level.
2. Fresh or frozen food is placed in
fry basket and lowered into preheated
shortening. Fryer lid is closed and
latched (B), and spindle is locked
down (C), forming a secure, airtight
seal.
3. A small amount of moisture from
food is released immediately, building
pressure in closed steam zone (D) to
12 psi.
4. A pressurized cooking environ-
ment (E) prevents further moisture
from being released, sealing in food’s
natural juices and locking shortening
out. Pressure increases turbulence at
lower temperatures for faster, energy
efficient cooking.
5. Rectangular fry pot (F) promotes
random turbulence and tumbling
action, resulting in more even
cooking.
6. “Cold” zone (G) below heating
source allows cracklings to accumu-
late without scorching.
7. When filtration cycle is activated,
used shortening drains through a
disposable filter envelope in the
built-in filtration system (H).
Switch-activated pump returns hot
filtered shortening to fry pot for
immediate use.

Pressure frying seals in food’s natural juices.
Frying under pressure is the only frying process that seals in food’s natural juices,
keeping product naturally moist and flavorful.
Pressure fried food is less greasy.
Since less moisture escapes from food, less shortening is absorbed in its place.
Pressure frying is faster and uses less energy.
Cooking under pressure improves the transfer of heat from frying medium to food.
This means less energy is required to keep shortening hot, and product gets done
faster.
Pressure frying reduces flavor transfer.
With shortening sealed out and natural juices, nutrients, and flavors sealed in, there
is much less transfer of flavors and odors from product to product.
Pressure frying is more productive.
Henny Penny pressure fryers take less time and less room to cook the same amount
of food, giving you higher production per square foot than conventional fryers.
Pressure frying is cleaner.
Pressure frying captures most oil-laden steam and exhausts it directly to the hood
above, reducing greasy film and odors that can build up in the surrounding areas.
Pressure frying uses less shortening.
Shortening lasts longer for two reasons: Lower cooking temperatures slow the
shortening breakdown process and less shortening is absorbed into food.
Pressure frying results in less food shrinkage.
By retaining moisture and juices, food shrinks less when pressure fried. Your
customers get more of a tender, tastier product for their money—and so do you!
Pressure frying means more menu items.
Pressure frying is one of the most versatile cooking methods available, giving you
dozens of options for meat, poultry, seafood, veggies… even pastries and ice cream!
Pressure frying produces consistently great taste.
Today’s technologically advanced pressure fryers can cook food quickly and
thoroughly with consistent flavor and appearance, load after load.
