We know what you need in a fryer. You need a fryer that will maintain an accurate temperature. You need a fryer with a large Cold Zone that will keep debris out of the cooking zone. You need a fryer that won't waste shortening. And finally, you need a fryer that is safe, easy to operate and simple to clean. We know your needs, and we have the answers.

Begin with our name - Instant Recovery® means continuous performance. Our patented system of burners and heat transfer surfaces means no waiting between loads for the fryer to regain temperature. Keating Instant Recovery® Fryers recover to thermostat temperature before the product is removed.

Keating Instant Recovery® Fryers are the Best to Fry In, The Best to Own.

Any fryer is only as good as the fry pot. The design of our fry pot is simple, yet ingenious. We heat the shortening through the center of the fry pot exposing more heated surface to the shortening, while creating a Cold Zone below.

 

Fryer tough.

We only use stainless steel in our frying vessels. Our 14 inch models are drawn from a single piece of 16 gauge stainless and formed with rounded corners. The transfer tubes in our gas units are precision welded into the fry pot. We build our fry pots right, we build them to last.

Bright stainless steel finish.

Our fry pots are polished to a bright finish. By taking the extra time and effort to provide mirror smooth surfaces, carbon buildup is reduced which makes cleanup far easier. More on Stainless Steel Care

Proven safety controls.

Close range hydraulic thermostats are accurate to ±2° from 250°F to 375°F. A high temperature limit control provides a safety shutoff. This control can be tested or reset with the push of a button.

A Real Cold Zone.

Keating Instant Recovery® Fryer Cold Zones are the largest per frying capacity of any competitive fryer. Crumbs are collected in the cold zone preventing them from scorching. This reduces the transfer of flavor from the food to the shortening. Carbonization of oil is reduced and sediment can be easily cleaned from the bottom of the fryer. Keating large Cold Zones mean longer shortening life and better tasting food.

 

 

Production on demand plus oil savings.

Peaks and valleys in shortening temperature increase oil absorption and reduce the crispness of fried food. Constant, accurate temperature in the cooking zone from the beginning to the end of each load, load after load, is what to look for in fryer performance. Keating Instant Recovery® Fryers deliver by maximizing heat transfer into the frying oil. Temperature variations end up consuming more energy and causing shortening breakdown. Keating Instant Recovery® Fryers are designed to fry at low temperatures.

The better fryer value.

The real value of Keating Instant Recovery® Fryers starts from the day of purchase and lasts through the many years of operation. Keating fryers are designed and built to give the production you need, the reliability you expect, and save oil at the same time. From the initial purchase to ongoing savings in production, Keating Instant Recovery® Fryers are your best value.
