Products
Evolution Elite Open Fryer
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.
Velocity Series Pressure Fryer
Launched in 2017, Henny Penny introduced a new reduced-oil pressure fryer called the Velocity (along with an open fryer variant). This cooker model featured 8-head capacity for chicken frying, automatic oil replenishment and a similar automatic oil filtration system to the Evolution Elite. It uses 25% less oil than competitive cookers and uses either electric heating or gas heating.
F5 Open Fryer
In 2023, Henny Penny released an updated reduced-oil capacity fryer called the F5 Fryer. 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.
