Product Description

The Henny Penny PFE 500 Electric Pressure Fryer is a heavy-duty commercial pressure fryer designed for high-volume kitchens producing fried chicken and other breaded foods where fast cooking, consistent quality and oil management are important.

Pressure frying allows food to cook at lower temperatures while retaining more natural moisture, helping produce juicy results with less oil absorption. It can also shorten cooking times and help extend frying oil life compared with conventional open frying.

With a 4-head cooking capacity, 25 litre oil capacity and narrow 500mm-wide footprint, the PFE 500 is well suited to busy takeaway shops, chicken shops, restaurants, supermarkets and commercial foodservice operations that need strong output without taking up excessive cookline space.

Why Choose the Henny Penny PFE 500?

  • Commercial pressure frying: Operates at 12 psi to help cook food quickly while retaining natural juices and reducing oil absorption.
  • 4-head capacity: Designed for commercial batch production, making it suitable for high-demand fried chicken operations.
  • Built-in oil filtration: Filters and returns hot frying oil without requiring separate pumps and pans, making regular filtration easier for staff.
  • Heavy-duty stainless steel fry pot: Built for demanding commercial use and backed by a 7-year fry pot warranty.
  • High-efficiency immersed heating elements: Available in 11.25kW or 13.5kW configurations for strong heat recovery between batches.
  • Cold zone below the heating elements: Helps collect crumbs away from the main cooking area, assisting with oil life.
  • Rectangular fry pot: Designed to promote oil movement and more even cooking.
  • Patented lid-lock system: Keeps the lid locked while the fryer remains pressurised.
  • Colour-keyed locking spindle: Helps operators create the correct pressure seal.
  • Compact 500mm width: A useful option where valuable cookline frontage is limited.
  • Heavy-duty castors: Four castors are supplied, including two locking castors for stability.
  • Warranty 1 year labour, 2 year part

Built-In Filtration for Easier Oil Management

Regular filtration is particularly important in fried chicken kitchens, where breading and crumbs can quickly contaminate cooking oil. The PFE 500 incorporates its filtration system into the fryer, allowing hot oil to be filtered and returned to the cooking vat in minutes.

This can make daily oil management more practical while helping operators get better use from their frying oil.

Control Options

The Henny Penny PFE 500 can be configured with either the Computron™ 1000 or optional Computron™ 8000 control system.

Computron™ 1000

  • Programmable operation
  • LED time and temperature display

Computron™ 8000 – optional upgrade

  • 10 programmable cooking cycles
  • Melt mode
  • Idle mode
  • Clean-out mode
  • Water detection alert
  • Load compensation
  • Proportional control
  • Optional filter prompts and filtration tracking

  • Multiple language settings

Suitable For

  • Fried chicken shops
  • Takeaway stores
  • QSR and fast-food kitchens
  • Supermarkets and deli departments
  • Restaurants
  • Catering operations
  • High-volume commercial kitchens

Its combination of pressure cooking, built-in filtration and a relatively narrow footprint makes it particularly attractive for businesses producing repeated batches of fried chicken throughout the day.
