CrispyMax®

Countertop

Streamline operations and boost profitability with the CrispyMax — engineered to keep fried foods hot, crispy, and ready to serve during peak and off-peak hours. Its Therma-Lock™ technology and customizable divider system ensure consistent product quality, while the durable, low-profile design fits seamlessly into any commercial kitchen.

Key FEATURES

Therma-Lock™ Technology

Utilizes a powerful airflow system that circulates hot air evenly over and around food to maintain ideal serving temperatures without overcooking or drying out. Unlike traditional heat lamp setups, CrispyMax delivers consistent, top-to-bottom heat coverage for superior crispiness.

Low-Profile Design

Each lane is equipped with its own dedicated fan and temperature control, allowing operators to hold different food items at custom settings. Perfect for menu flexibility—keep fries hot in one lane while holding egg rolls or chicken tenders in another.

Independent Zone Control

Standing at less than 8 inches tall, the CrispyMax Drop-In seamlessly fits into tight spaces and under counters. Its sleek, flush-mounted design integrates cleanly into serving counters and keeps line-of-sight clear for operators and guests.

Optional Timer Mounting Bolts

Designed for daily convenience, the crumb trays, dividers, and food trays are all removable and dishwasher-safe. No complicated disassembly—just lift, rinse, and reset. The smooth stainless-steel interior wipes clean quickly for minimal downtime.


Superior Hold

Based on internal testing, the CrispyMax held chicken tenders 50% hotter than product in a hot food well test (30 minute total hold time). Depending on the product, customers have doubled their hold times while not seeing any degradation of food quality.


Variable Holding

Each lane of the CrispyMax has its own fan and temperature setting which can be configured independently. Have tortilla chips next to egg rolls next to fries, every thing can be at their own temperature
