I have used Vulcan ranges for the better part of my professional life, and have to say that they are sturdy, well built and generally hold up very well for the long run. Although the pan supports over the burners are great for larger pans, but I have found them to be too "coarse" for smaller pots as compared with some other brands. Also, the cast iron "spiders" that hold the pans over the burners are rather fragile, and you are bound to break one over the course of time. That said, I find them to be good, reliable pieces of equipment, and have spec'ed them for new restaurant build-outs for many years. As for the fryer, I have no experience with electric high pressure fryers, but I have come to realize over the years that the best fryer is the simplest. Give me one with a gas valve and mechanical thermostat and I'll be happy. All of this now having been said, I must point out a critical truth for all equipment purchases. When a particular piece of equipment goes down, it can put you out of business if it can't be repaired promptly. Given that Vulcan is located on the east coast of the US, make sure that there is someone local in Saskatchewan who not only repairs equipment, but also is familiar with the brand, and most importantly, has quick access to replacement parts. One of the reasons that I have always spec'ed Vulcan products was that I could get replacement parts for almost anything the same day, or the next at latest. Best of luck, and don't hesitate to ask for more info, Erich
