Easy does it
Pitco natural gas fryer makes good food, fast

Natural gas fryerWho knew that a location just blocks away would make such a difference? For Joe Sipprell, manager of the New Uptown Diner, business at their newest location at 26th and Hennepin has been brisk. And their Pitco natural gas fryer helps them keep pace with demand.

"Since we re-opened last October, our breakfast and lunch crowd has more than doubled,"  he explained. "We've become a real neighborhood draw and are even open for the late-night crowd on week-ends. Customers enjoy our no-nonsense, basic fare, and they love the waffle fries we produce with our Pitco fryer."

Fast start-up and easy operation. Sipprell appreciates the fryer's simplicity and efficiency. "When selecting a piece of equipment, you're looking for a unit that'll perform,"  he said. "I don't even have to give this a second thought. It does the job. Precise temperature settings and quick heat recovery all contribute to making great fries - no easy task."

A rebate bonus. Sipprell loves cooking with natural gas, and the money-saving rebate from CenterPoint Energy was another plus. "Our Pitco natural gas fryer makes it easy to produce the best fries in town," he added.
