The standard of the industry for large Funnel Cake Fryers and/or Elephant Ears Fryers has been the FW-12. Easily work four 8" Funnel Cakes or two large diameter Elephant Ears or 12 French Waffles - your choice. 5500 watt elements should produce about 100 Funnel Cakes per hour. For the really BIG locations, use two, three or four at one time - only heat up all four during the busiest periods - cut back to one during the slow periods - an effective way to triple the "pot life" of your cooking oil! Always order this size fryer with drain.
