FAQs

I've heard of Henny Penny, you're a restaurant chain, right?

No. Although we are aware that there are restaurants around the country bearing the Henny Penny name, they are not affiliated with us. We are manufacturers of high-quality foodservice equipment for the restaurants, QSR, supermarket, convenience store, and institutional markets.

Does Henny Penny manufacture only fryers?

No. Although we got our start by patenting the first pressure fryer, over the years our equipment line has been greatly expanded. We currently manufacture pressure fryers, open fryers, rotisseries, holding cabinets, display merchandisers, combi-steamers, and a full line of breading, seasonings, and accessories.

Aren't pressure fried foods more greasy and less healthy than other fried foods?

No. Actually, pressure fried foods retain more natural moisture and are less fattening than conventionally fried foods. The pressure helps to create a barrier that holds moisture in and keeps shortening out.

I already own a steamer and a convection oven. Why should I invest in a combi-steamer?

Henny Penny SmartCombi ovens save time, money and valuable kitchen space by combining the cooking functions of several different appliances into a single piece of space-saving equipment. You can steam, proof, bake, poach, grill, roast, boil, blanch and finish, all with the same unit! What's more, employees only have to learn one set of controls and operating instructions, and that can make a huge difference in the time you spend training or throwing away mistakes. Combi-steamers also cook faster than conventional cooking equipment.

Does Henny Penny sell equipment internationally?

Yes. We sell through 70 international distributors into over 100 countries around the world and operate respresentative offices in Paris, Beirut, Sinapore, Mexico City and Moscow. We also have full manufacturing facilities in Eaton, OH and Suzhou, China.

Does Henny Penny sell supplies and accessories for foodservice operations?

Yes. In addition to our high quality cooking and food preparation equipment, we also sell a full line of accessories and supplies. Now, there is a single source for all your foodservice needs. Our supply and accessory line includes fryer baskets, rotisserie spits, pans, grids, bins, brushes, shortening shuttles and more!
