At High Performance Cookers we build outdoor cookers and accessories based on our Patent Pending Tunnel Tube technology, that perform for you above all else!

Our products are built by hand all right here in USA. High Performance Cookers is based in southern Louisiana near New Orleans. The NOLA life provides experiences in crabbing, fishing, camping, hunting and many other outdoor adventures. Our owners & creators grew up loving the great food of the south and particularly the great seafood harvested in our Louisiana. It was out of this love that a passion grew to create the best crawfish boil cooker possible - this life is how High Performance Cookers was founded. After that first great creation, we grew to create other cookers, from boiling to slow cooking to steaming and frying. We created a product for every need! We also tried to make our products multi-use. By developing accessories for each product line, we allow our customer's purchases to go far and satisfy the every need. Whether you are looking to host a great sports tailgating party, race day, entertain in your own backyard, camping at a park or at the beach; with our Cookers you will always be ready to deliver that great southern Louisiana cooking and all from your very own High Performance Cooker!

Friday Fire.

Fry something that isn't dinner.

Funnel cake, powdered sugar, Friday night with a ball game on. Same oil, same burner, different ending.

A fryer doesn't care what month it is. Fish, wings, hushpuppies, okra, and every now and then something that has no business being in hot oil at all.

What's going in yours this weekend?

Word of Mouth Thursday.

Russell left this after picking up his 120 Quart Powered Cooker:

"Well designed, well packaged. I bought in the off season so I haven't done a boil yet. However, the attention to detail on the burner itself is impressive. The 120 qt basket fits snug against the pot. (No crawfish leakage). Love the lid hook to hang top on pot. HP Cookers rep met me after hours in mandeville at their shop for my pick up. THATS CUSTOMER SEEVICE. Buy with confidence."

A lid hook and a basket that actually fits are the kind of thing you only notice if you've wrestled a pot that had neither. Thanks, Russell.

How-To Wednesday.

Ever wonder why our times always say "about"?

Because four things decide how fast your pot gets hot, and three of them belong to you.

VOLUME. More water takes more minutes. Fill the pot for the crowd you've got, not up to the rim.

WEATHER. A cold morning with a breeze on it will cost you. Keep the lid on until it boils, and put something between the wind and the flame. Our wind shield is built for a pot sitting on the ground — powered cookers 60 QT or smaller.

FUEL. Propane pressure drops as the tank empties and as the air gets cold. Start a big cook on a full tank, not the one that's been sitting out back since spring.

The fourth one isn't yours, and that's the point. The tunnel tubes are welded across the bottom of the pot, so the burner's heat gets spread over the whole base every single cook. Same in July, same in January.

We'd rather tell you what moves the clock than pretend nothing does.

Times vary with volume, ambient temperature and fuel pressure.

Boil Math Monday.

Two sacks. Forty people. One pot.

That's the math on the 120 QT Powered Cooker. No second rig, no second burner going in the yard. One pot, batch after batch, while the line at the table keeps moving.

The tunnel tubes are welded across the bottom of the pot, so the heat spreads over the whole base every batch.

What's the biggest crowd you've fed off one pot?

Friday Fire. 🔥

Fish fry, start to finish. Drop it, wait for it to float, pull it.

Stand back while it goes in. That oil will burn you.

What are you frying this weekend?

Word of Mouth Thursday.

Matt left us this review after cooking on his 80 QT Powered Cooker:

"This is like a lightbulb was to a candle change! … From lighting up to table: 43-min!!! … No more full afternoons waiting on a boil."

That's his own clock on his own setup, and we couldn't have said it better. Thanks, Matt.

How-To Wednesday.

Leg extensions. Here's who they fit, and who they don't.

They bolt onto the legs you already have and raise the pot to working height, so you fry standing up instead of bent over. If you've ever worked a long fish fry hunched over a low burner, you know exactly why that matters.

Three products in our catalog take them:

THE 18 QT FISH FRYER. Fish, wings, hushpuppies, okra. 350° in under five minutes, and the 5" thermometer is the one that fits it.
THE 4-WAY FRYER / PASTA COOKER. Four baskets going at once.
THE 40 QT SAUCE COOKER. Gumbo, sauces, anything you're making a lot of.

That's the whole list. Nothing else in our catalog takes them, so don't let anybody sell you a pair against a pot that can't use them.

One more thing while we're here. The wind shield is built for a pot sitting on the ground. If your fryer is up on extensions, skip it.

Times vary with volume, ambient temperature and fuel pressure.

Shop Floor Tuesday.

Off the shop floor for this one.

That's six of our krewe at a cook-off this spring. Tent up, table ready, signs out.

We're a small krewe in Covington, Louisiana. The same people who weld the tunnel tubes pack your freight and answer the phone when you call. Nobody here does one job.

Boil Math Monday.

One number today: up to 75%.

Up to 75% less propane. That's what the tunnel tubes are for.

They're hand-welded across the bottom of the pot. The burner sits in the middle, and the tubes carry that heat out across the whole base, so more of it ends up in your water instead of running up the sides and into the air.

Over a season of boils, that adds up to fewer trips to refill the tank.

Times vary with volume, ambient temperature and fuel pressure.
