The digital gas-powered pressure fryer has been the best-seller in the MFF gas range for over 10 years. Fully automated thanks to its control panel with 10 programmable buttons, it guarantees consistent results with every batch — regardless of the operator or the time of service. Its price point, proven reliability and the speed characteristic of gas make it the go-to model for chicken fast-food restaurants already equipped with gas who wish to automate their cooking without going as far as installing a filtration pump. This model operates without a pump — the oil is filtered manually at the end of the shift.
Why has this model been the best-selling gas model for the past 10 years?
In the 10 years since its launch, the Digitale Gaz has established itself as the standard for fast-food chicken restaurants with gas installations. There are four reasons for its popularity:
- Total consistency: the 10 programmable buttons store every cooking parameter — temperature, duration, pressure. During busy periods, with a novice operator or at peak times, the result is always the same. No more variations due to the team’s experience or level of attention.
- The speed of gas: the oven heats up faster than an electric model. At the start of a service, preheating time is reduced. During service, the oven heats up more quickly between batches — which directly translates into higher throughput and a smoother workflow for your teams.
- The right level of automation for a standard menu: 10 programmable recipes more than cover a full fast-food chicken menu — whole chicken, wings, drumsticks, fillets, nuggets. You get all the consistency you need without paying for features you won’t use.
- Operating savings: with no pump, this model is cheaper to buy and easier to maintain. Provided your filtration protocol is followed, you benefit from the same oil lifespan without the cost of an additional component.
Suitable for which type of establishment?
- High-volume chicken fast-food outlets with gas infrastructure: you have a compliant gas installation and a significant daily throughput. The Digitale Gaz combines the speed of gas with the consistency of the 10 buttons to handle your production peaks without compromising on quality.
- Traditional restaurants that include fried chicken on their menu: your kitchen runs on gas. Adding a Digitale Gaz to your deep-fry station is simpler than installing an additional three-phase electrical connection.
- High-volume dark kitchen with gas infrastructure: in the delivery sector, product consistency is your only tool for building customer loyalty. The Digitale Gaz guarantees this, service after service.
- Independent fried chicken snack bar: you want the market’s best-seller at the best value for money — this model is exactly that.
No filter pump: the right choice for your set-up
The absence of a filtration pump is a deliberate choice for many restaurant owners who manage their manual filtration properly:
- If your team is disciplined: manual filtration carried out properly at the end of a shift produces results equivalent to automatic filtration. The oil also lasts just as long.
- If you prefer fewer components to maintain: without a pump, the machine is simpler — fewer parts likely to require maintenance or replacement.
- If you’re on a tight budget: you save €400 at the point of purchase compared to the model with a pump. In the long term, the saving is real provided manual filtration is carried out correctly.
If, on the other hand, your team tends to neglect or forget to filter the oil at the end of a shift, the pump-equipped model at €4,890 (excl. VAT) solves this problem once and for all.
