Comparing the Top Ventless Fryers on the Market
As the most consumed protein on the market, more and more hungry customers are looking for tasty pressure fried chicken, chicken tenders, sandwiches, and wings…among other delicious menu options.
So, with demand for chicken through the roof, restaurants, convenience stores, and alternative food service providers are all asking the same question: “How can I get chicken (or more chicken) on my menu?”

It’s not as difficult as you might think. Existing kitchen setups can easily accommodate frying equipment with very little space and without an overhead hood (in most municipalities) by investing in countertop ventless fryers.
But, we also know that finding the right ventless fryer may feel like a challenge, so that’s why at Broaster, we’ve simplified the process for you by compiling all the information you need.
As you can see in the graph above, it’s never been easier to compare countertop ventless pressure fryers to determine the best option for your business.
And, as you can also see, Broaster countertop ventless fryers are the reliable, best-in-class option in most categories…with new product innovations in the works, all the time.
Equipment Reliability
Broaster ventless fryers are the most reliable on the market. Our Fryers operate when you need them most. Compared to AutoFry and Perfect Fry, Broaster ventless fryers are incredibly easy to service and maintain, which saves you time, money, and frustration.
Our compact countertop fryers also feature self-venting technology and air filtration systems that make operation a breeze.
Ease of Disassembly & Cleaning
Regular cleaning has never been more crucial to your business. And since Broaster ventless fryers use simple food baskets vs. input/output shoots, our equipment naturally stays much cleaner during operation.
Plus, we’ve designed the entire assembly to be easily taken apart and thrown in the dishwasher, so you can be confident that cleaning will be much easier than an AirFry or Perfect Fry model.
Intuitive Operator Interaction
As a premium cooking appliance manufacturer, quality is built into everything we do at Broaster. And one way to ensure quality is to create a versatile, safe, and intuitive operator experience.
That’s exactly what we set out to do by offering the ability to open the door of all Broaster ventless fryers without stopping the cook cycle, so you can adjust food as needed to get the perfect cook.
Compared to AutoFry and Perfect Fry models, Broaster’s VF-2 and VF-3 ventless fryers come with our proprietary SmartTouch controller…the most intuitive, contemporary controller on the market.
With tons of programming options, including a programmable library, pre-loaded menu items, and an automatic cook cycle counter, our easy-to-use touch screen display makes all the difference when it comes to operator interaction and training.
Footprint Advantages
And, of course, when it comes to ventless fryers, we couldn’t go without mentioning Broaster’s footprint advantages.
Both our VF-2 and VF-3 models are incredibly compact and are distinctly designed for back-counter operation, so they’re easy to place on almost any countertop.
All you need is the proper electrical and a little spare counter space, and you’re ready to cook up delicious Broasted chicken to keep your customers coming back time and time again.
Proud Heritage Story
As the original inventor of the pressure fryer, Broaster has a proud legacy of designing our pressure frying equipment with our operators in mind.
It’s always tough to beat the original, and Broaster works hard to provide you with the best value for your money, which is why we’ve received plenty of interest from local to chain restaurants alike!

#FAQFryDay: How do I minimize Fryer downtime?
1. Always use Broaster filtering compounds & follow the recommended filtering procedures set forth in your Operations Manual.
2. Always make sure the filter screen is in place under the filter paper when you reassemble your filter pan.
3. If the pressure valve (small lever on top of Broaster) won’t fully close, the drain valve could be open & clogged. Remove clog with your ramrod & close drain valve.
4. Always keep spare O-rings on hand for cover & filter pan.
5. When filtering & cleaning your Broaster Pressure Fryer, always use the brushes from your Pressure Fryer Accessory Kit. These brushes were specially designed to quickly & easily clean the units. Contact your Local Authorized Distributor if you need replacement heads or brushes.
6. Once a month, verify screws for the probe guard are tight & not missing.
7. Keep copies of instruction sheets & job aides on hand near your equipment to ensure proper procedures are always followed. This is especially important when you have newer employees in the kitchen.
8. NEVER turn the unit on with water &/or cleaning solution in the cooking well. Always unplug your unit & place the cleaning flag on the latch column to alert others that the well is currently being cleaned with water.
9. Always use your handy O-Ring & groove cleaner tool when installing O-Rings or cleaning your groove. This tool was designed to not damage the O-Ring or the groove. If damage occurs to either component, this may cause your unit to not build pressure.
10. Always use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) Components & parts on your Broaster Pressure Fryer. Failure to do so may void your warranty.
