Bayou Classic 2.5-Gal Stainless Fryer – Free Standing or Table Top with Basket, Thermometer, Drain Valve, 48-in Hose

Flexible, efficient frying with Bayou Classic 2.5-Gallon Fryer

The Bayou Fryer heats oil from the inside out using a back-mounted jet burner that sends hot air through hollow inner tubes immersed in oil. This design transfers heat directly into the cooking oil, helping maintain an even temperature and reduce batter scorching during busy fry cycles. Because heat is delivered through the tubing rather than the bottom, you may be able to reuse your oil across multiple batches and potentially lower oil costs over time.

With a 2.5-gallon capacity and a 7.5 x 11 x 3.5 inch basket, this unit offers a practical balance for backyard gatherings or small events. It can be used as a freestanding appliance or mounted on a table, depending on your space. A built-in drain, a large thermometer, and a 10 PSI regulator with a brass valve and stainless braided hose provide visibility, control, and safer operation. The included high-pressure regulator and hose support steady flame delivery for consistent results across batches.
