Bayou Classic Bayou Fryer Thermometer — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Bayou Fryer Thermometer and what’s its temperature range?

The Bayou Classic Bayou Fryer Thermometer is a stainless steel dial thermometer with a tempered glass face, designed to measure oil or liquid temperature. Its scale runs from **50 °F to 400 °F**.

What are its dimensions and construction?

The thermometer features a 2.75-inch dial face and a 3.5-inch stem (immersion depth) in a stainless steel body.

Which fryers is it compatible with?

It works with Bayou’s 2.5-gal, 4-gal, and 9-gal fryers.

How should I use and install it properly?

Insert the thermometer so the stem is submerged in the oil but anchored securely (not touching the burner or sidewalls). Monitor cooking temperature and adjust heat as needed to maintain safe frying temps. Always install before heating the oil.

How do I maintain and clean this thermometer?

After cooling, wipe the stem and dial face with a damp cloth. Avoid immersing the dial mechanism or using harsh abrasives on the glass face. Store in a dry area to prevent fogging or corrosion.

What are common limitations or things to watch out for?

The thermometer is analog and may have a small lag or slight inaccuracy at extremes. Always verify temperature behavior when first installed. Also, ensure the stem is deep enough in the liquid—not just resting at the surface—for accurate reading.
