Energy Star vs Standard Gas Fryers: Migali C-F40 vs C-F40E and C-F50 vs C-F50E

Migali makes each fryer size in a standard version and an Energy Star version. The E in the model number marks the Energy Star model. Here is the difference, using the BTU ratings in each product name.

40 Lb Fryers

The standard C-F40-NG is rated 102,000 BTU. The Energy Star C-F40E-NG is rated 66,000 BTU for the same oil capacity.

50 Lb Fryers

The standard C-F50-NG is rated 136,000 BTU. The Energy Star C-F50E-NG is rated 88,000 BTU.

What Lower BTU Means

Energy Star fryers transfer heat into the oil more efficiently, so they use less gas for the same cooking. That lowers your gas bill over the life of the fryer.

Check Rebates

Many utilities offer rebates on Energy Star fryers. Check with your gas company before you buy.

Which One Should You Buy

If your fryer runs all day, the Energy Star version saves the most gas. For light use, compare prices on the two product pages and pick the one that fits your budget.
