Why High Performance Wins

Built to keep pace with a real service, not just a boil.

High Performance Cookers commercial seafood boiler
01

Heat moves through the whole pot, not just the bottom

The patented Tunnel Tube design pulls heat evenly across a much bigger surface, so a 100+ gallon pot heats as reliably as a small one.

02

Rolling boil in under 15 minutes, even at 75 gallons

Our largest units bring 75 gallons of water from 85° to a rolling boil in under 15 minutes, using about 2.6 gallons of propane.

03

Keeps up through the whole shift

Built-in commercial burners rated 375K–750K BTU depending on size — sized to the pot, not just maxed out for a spec sheet.

Why High Performance Wins

More Than Seafood Nights

Whatever's driving the line tonight.

Same pot, different reason it's running. Here's where commercial buyers actually put these to work.

Restaurant

Overflow & Special Nights

When the regular kitchen can't keep up with a crawfish special or a weekend seafood push, a commercial boiler is the release valve.

Give Back

Church & School Fundraiser Boils

Sized to serve a real crowd without needing three separate pots going at once — built-in burner, one setup, one line.

Events

Festival & Vendor Booths

High-volume, high-turnover cooking in a compact footprint — built for a booth that doesn't get to slow down.

Service Crews

Full-Service Catering

Consistent batches, predictable timing — the two things a catering crew actually needs from their equipment.

Beyond Seafood

Turkey Fry for a Crowd

A versatile cooker for crab, shrimp, crawfish, lobster, and other food like chicken wings and turkey — not locked into one menu.

Year-Round

Off-Season Multi-Use

When it's not crawfish season, the same pot still earns its keep — frying, boiling, or steaming whatever's next on the menu.

How we calculate this (methodology & assumptions)

We keep the math conservative and out in the open:

  • Your current setup is modeled as a typical pot + jet burner: ~90 lbs per batch, ~55 minutes per batch, ~2.9 gallons of propane per batch. Those figures come from before-data reported by real HPC commercial customers in phone interviews (August 2026).
  • HPC propane per boil uses published data for the 40 Gal (boils 20 gal of water in under 8 minutes on less than 1 gallon of propane) and 140 Gal (75 gal of water in under 15 minutes on 2.6 gallons). The 60, 80, 100 and 120 Gal figures are interpolated linearly between those two published points.
  • HPC batch time is set at ~25 minutes, based on customer-reported results (Lefort's Seafood: 240 lbs in 25 minutes; All Star Catering: 20–30 minute batches).
  • Natural gas is converted at 1 gallon of propane ≈ 0.915 therms, priced at an assumed $1.40 per therm. Natural gas matches propane speed only with 2-lb commercial gas service.
  • Fuel price assumes $3.25/gal propane (LA-area average). Adjust mentally if your price differs.
  • Season assumes a 26-week Jan–June crawfish season.
  • Time figures are total pot-attended crew-hours. If you run several pots or burners in parallel today, your wall-clock day looks different — but the crew time tending those pots is the same.
  • Seafood equivalents are rough pot-capacity conversions relative to crawfish.
  • Customer-reported figures are individual results, not guarantees. Every dollar figure on this page is an estimate.
