The EasyFry gas-powered pressure fryer is the entry-level model in the MFF range for restaurant owners who have a gas connection and want to launch a chicken fast-food business without having to spend €5,000. It offers all the essentials of professional pressure cooking — 3 to 7 kg of crispy, juicy chicken in 4 minutes — in a robust AISI 304 stainless steel unit, with a level of ease of use suitable for a team still undergoing training. It is the practical choice for testing a concept or launching your first fried chicken station in a restaurant already equipped with a gas system.
Why choose gas for your pressure fryer?
The choice between gas and electric is often dictated by your premises’ infrastructure rather than personal preference. Here’s what gas actually offers:
- Faster heat-up: a gas-powered pressure fryer reaches cooking temperature quicker than an electric model. At the start of a service, preheating time is reduced — a direct benefit in terms of operational efficiency.
- Often lower energy costs: in France, the price of mains gas is generally more competitive than the cost per kilowatt-hour of electricity for intensive use. Over 12 months of operation, the difference can amount to savings of several hundred euros, depending on your throughput.
- Ideal if your premises are already fitted with a gas supply: if you have a gas connection and compliant ventilation, installing a gas deep-fat fryer avoids the cost and hassle of an additional three-phase electrical connection.
- Bottled gas option available: for premises without access to mains gas, this model can be adapted on request to run on bottled gas — a welcome flexibility for temporary set-ups or pop-up stalls in shopping centres.
What type of establishment is it suitable for?
- Restaurants with existing gas installations: you already have a gas hob in your kitchen. The EasyFry Gas integrates seamlessly into your existing infrastructure without the need for additional work.
- Snack bar or catering business with moderate throughput: a few dozen kilos a day, with a stable team trained in your recipe. The EasyFry’s simple programming is sufficient for this usage profile.
- A chicken corner in a multi-concept restaurant: you’re testing demand for fried chicken before investing in a 10-button model. The EasyFry Gas delivers the right result at the right cost.
- Dark kitchen in the launch phase: you’re starting your delivery business with a gas-powered setup. The EasyFry allows you to operate from day one without spending unnecessarily on automation.
EasyFry Gas vs Digital Gas: when should you upgrade?
| Criterion | EasyFry Gas (this model) | Digitale Gaz (€4,490 excl. VAT) |
|---|
| Price excl. VAT | €3,290 | €4,490 |
| Programming | Temperature + time — manual adjustment per function | Digital display — recipes permanently stored |
| Repeatability | Depends on the operator | Guaranteed — same settings every time |
| Variable staff | A trained and stable team is recommended | Suitable for staff turnover — consistent results |
| Recommended profile | Start-up, market testing, low volume | Continuous service, expansion, high throughput |
If your team is stable and you’re producing a moderate volume with a single recipe, the EasyFry Gas is perfectly adequate. If your business is growing in volume or your staff change frequently, the Digitale Gas, priced at €4,490 excluding VAT, will provide the consistency that this entry-level model lacks.
