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. We only use
stainless steel in our frying vessels. Our 14 inch models are drawn from a

You can’t miss the professional look of these fryers. The front door, sides, flue, basket hanger, and frypot are all made of heavy grade stainless steel. This provides added weight with increased strength and endurance, plus it keeps the heat in the fryer, and out of the kitchen. Grease build-up is minimized by a reduced number of screws and the ledges are welded shut and polished. Even the legs are well-designed with non-marking feet.

The IRF-40-OPSS fryer has an open pot style of frypot that is very easy to clean. Its deep sloping bottom creates a cold zone beneath the heat source that traps small particles and holds it out of the fry zone. This keeps these particles from carbonizing and altering the taste of your food. The flame heats ceramic plates which are located strategically outside of the frypot. The intense infra-red heat rapidly heats the stainless steel sides and the oil inside of the pot. This open pot fryer also has a uniquely designed cold zone that is created below the heat source and captures small particles and holds them out of the frying area where they can carbonize. This reduces flavor transfer and oil scorching. The net result is increased life of the cooking oil.
