Pressure Frying is a unique food preparation method that is similar to traditional open-air frying, with the point of difference being that after food is placed into a reservoir of hot, high smoke point oil, it is heated to 360 degrees and a lid is lowered and sealed to create a pressurized cooking environment. In commercial foodservice, a quality pressure fryer offers consistently flavorful fried foods and faster cook times.
