There are many types of commercial fryers made of stainless steel, the most common ones are 201 stainless steel, 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, etc. They each have their advantages and disadvantages, so how to choose to buy?
201 stainless steel Commercial fryer
Advantages: The price is relatively low, suitable for users with limited budgets.
Disadvantages: The corrosion resistance is slightly inferior to 304 and 316 stainless steel, and rust or corrosion may occur after long-term use
304 stainless steel commercial fryer
Advantages: Good corrosion resistance, not easy to rust.
High-temperature resistant, suitable for long-term high-temperature use.
Easy to clean, not easy to adhere to food residues.
The price is relatively affordable.
Disadvantages: High hardness, poor thermal conductivity, uneven heating.
304 stainless steel may contain a small amount of nickel, a small amount of nickel is non-toxic, but people who are allergic to nickel may cause dermatitis.
316 stainless steel commercial fryer
Advantages:316 stainless steel contains a rare metal molybdenum more than 304, and is often used in food, medical, machinery and other industries. It has better corrosion resistance and is more suitable for acidic environments.
It has better high-temperature resistance, higher hardness, and more durability.
Easy to clean, not easy to adhere to food residues.
Disadvantages:The price is higher than 304 stainless steel, and the thermal conductivity is poor.
How to choose to buy
Budget: The budget is arranged from low to high as SS201-SS304-SS316.
Use environment: If you need to use it in a special environment, you can choose 316 stainless steel with better corrosion resistance.
Frequency of use: If you need to use it at high temperature for a long time, you can choose 304 stainless steel with better high-temperature resistance.
On the whole, my suggestion is that 304 stainless steel commercial fryer is a more common and practical choice, with a relatively affordable price and more stable performance. Of course, choosing a suitable stainless steel commercial fryer according to your actual needs and budget is the most important thing!
