Products[edit]

Evolution Elite Open Fryer[edit]

In 2009, Henny Penny introduced a reduced-oil capacity technology with the Evolution Elite Open Fryer, a deep fat fryer using 30 lbs. of frying oil in the vat instead of the previous 50 lbs.[7]

F5 Open Fryer[edit]

In 2023, Henny Penny released an updated reduced-oil capacity fryer called the F5 Fryer.[8] The F5 features intuitive touchscreen controls that significantly reduces training time for users. The F5's quick filtering cycle is only 3 minutes long, which is faster than any other commercial fryer can filter. [9]
