Product Features

This Carnival King liquid propane / field convertible 30 lb. flat bottom countertop funnel cake / donut fryer is perfect for frying funnel cakes, donuts, or other wet batter products. The flat bottom on this fryer is perfect for shallow frying wet batter products. With a 30 lb. oil capacity, this fryer is the ideal unit for restaurants, concession stands, sports stadiums, farmers markets, or carnivals. It fits (4) 8" funnel cakes at once, increasing output and profit. With an ample amount of cooking space and durable stainless steel construction, this fryer will be sure to last a long time. The convenient drip tray also doubles as a lid, keeping your fry pot safe from dust afterhours. In addition, its portable design and adjustable 4" stainless steel legs make for easy setup and breakdown before and after events!

The stainless steel front, door, sides, and mesh strainer provide ultimate durability and are resistant to rust. And the front door panel protects controls from damage. This ensures that you get the most use out of your fryer, while minimizing the time and money spent on repairs. The thermostatic temperature dial control, adjustable between 200-400 degrees Fahrenheit, allows you to keep the oil at the perfect temperature for whatever you're cooking. Plus, intuitive dial controls and snap-action thermostat provide a convenient and efficient user experience while the safety shut-off provides maximum safety.

The flat bottom design of this fryer provides unique benefits. This fryer does not have a cold zone, unlike many other fryers. This maximizes frying capacity and evenly heats all products to the perfect temperature so you can continue to provide your customers with donuts, funnel cakes, and other fried products. In addition, the products are able to float freely over the stainless steel mesh strainer as they cook, perfect for pastries or hushpuppies. Once the products have finished frying, the products can be lifted out using the mesh strainer with cool-touch handles, making it easy to batch fry.

This unit comes with a drain extension pipe to make it easier to drain your oil into an oil filtration machine or oil shuttle. This unit requires a liquid propane connection for operation.

    The pilot is a problem. I’ve only had this equipment for a few months I started having problems when it would get to a proper heat level, the pilot goes out and then we cannot relight. I’m loosing sales because we cannot get it to work. I called a repair guy and he said it would be no less than $ to fix the pilot. After reading some of the other reviews, I would not recommend getting this equipment since it continues to have pilot problems and the company doesn’t seem to care.

    Our fair food stand owns two of these units now - one 30lb unit and one 40lb unit. We bought the 40lb one last year, and just received the 30lb version this week, which we'll use just to make fried Oreos. The 40lb unit last year did well over 1,000 funnel cakes and 5,000 fried Oreos during a 12 day event and never skipped a beat. Overall, they work well, especially given the price point. When we received the first unit, I had a difficult time lighting the pilot light - but once we got it lit the first time, it lit much easier going forward. The same thing happened with the 30lb one we just bought - probably a good five minutes of pushing the pilot button while holding a flame next to it to get it to light, but once it did, it ran without issue. We just ran the new one for an hour or so and did some light cooking with it to verify it functions properly, which it does. One thing worth noting - the listing on the site is wrong regarding the 30lb fryer gas connection. It's actually a 1/2" connection on the 30lb version, and 3/4" on the 40lb version. Not a huge deal, but had to buy an additional fitting to have the connection made. We will see how long these work, but for the price, even having to replace them every few years feels worth it.

Frequently AskedQuestions

No. Donut / funnel cake fryers have a flat bottom to maximize surface area, so they do not have a cold zone.
