Anets

Anets, a division of Middleby Corporation, is a long-standing American manufacturer of commercial cooking equipment. Founded in 1926 and based in Bow, New Hampshire, the company built its reputation on engineering reliable, high-volume frying and pasta-cooking solutions for the global foodservice industry.



What Makes Them Stand Out
Anets is recognized for its historical leadership in "first-to-market" technologies. While many brands focus on general cooking, Anets focuses on the physics of heat transfer to maximize oil life and minimize energy waste. Key differentiators include:
- The "Cross Fire" Burner System: This patented burner design is found in their open-pot fryers. It utilizes copper-flashed heat exchangers to split the flame, ensuring maximum heat transfer into the oil with minimal wasted energy.
- Energy Star Excellence: Anets was a pioneer in developing the "Gas Saver" tube burner, making their SilverPlus series some of the most energy-efficient gas fryers on the market, often reducing gas consumption by up to 40%.
- Legacy of Innovation: They are credited with introducing the first thermostatically controlled counter fryer (1937), as well as early automatic lifts for gas fryers and self-cleaning charbroilers.
- Maintenance-Focused Design: Equipment which is designed with "cold zones" that are larger than industry standards, which prevents food particles from carbonizing and spoiling the oil, leading to longer oil life and better food taste.
Featured Equipment

Platinum Series Fryers (Gas & Electric)
The premium, high-volume line designed for demanding quick-service restaurants and busy kitchens. Available in full-pot or split-pot configurations. They feature advanced digital or computer controls with multiple timers and built-in filtration systems (Filtermate) to automate oil maintenance.

SilverPlus & SilverLine Series Fryers
The brand's "workhorse" models, focused on providing high performance at a more accessible price point. The SilverPlus models are Energy Star certified and use high-efficiency tube burners. The SilverLine series is known for its durability and simple millivolt controls that don't require an electrical connection to operate the gas valves.

Gold Series Fryers
A specialized line of open-pot fryers known for high production capacity. Uses the patented cross-fire burner system. Because it is an "open pot" design (no tubes inside the oil), it is exceptionally easy to clean and offers a high ratio of power-to-oil volume.

Pasta Pro™ Pasta Cookers
Self-contained, high-speed boiling systems used for cooking pasta, vegetables, or seafood. Capable of bringing fresh water to a boil in less than 10 minutes. They feature "power burst" heating to maintain a rolling boil even when cold pasta is dropped in, and optional auto-lift features to prevent overcooking.
