Electric Fryer for ships LOTUS 19090430X

An electric fryer heats a vat of oil with submerged elements, circulating the heat evenly through the oil to cook food quickly and uniformly. The basket lowers into the hot oil, holding ingredients in place while the heat transfers directly, creating a crisp exterior and a cooked interior without drying the food. This method is faster than oven frying and allows precise control over cooking times, making it essential for high-volume kitchens where speed and consistency matter.

The operator fills the 13 litre vat with oil, sets the temperature using the dual thermostat, and switches the fryer on. Once the oil reaches the set temperature, the basket is loaded with food and lowered into the oil. The fryer maintains the temperature automatically, and the operator monitors the cooking time. When the food is ready, the basket is lifted out, drained, and the food is removed. The fryer includes an overheat protection system that cuts power if the oil temperature exceeds safe limits, and a safety thermostat provides an additional layer of protection.

The fryer is constructed from 18/10 grade AISI 304 stainless steel, a non-corrosive alloy that resists rust and staining even in wet kitchen environments. The exterior has a Scotch-Brite finish, a textured surface that hides scratches and fingerprints, and the edges are rounded for safety. Chrome-plated details add durability, while IPX5-rated water-resistant handles allow safe handling even when wet. The fryer includes a tap for draining oil, adjustable legs for levelling on uneven floors, and a locking system to secure the legs in place.

The 10.95 kW power rating requires a three-phase 400/440 V electrical supply, the standard for commercial kitchens with high-demand equipment. The 55 kg weight indicates a sturdy, stable unit that is not easily moved during operation but can be repositioned when empty. The 400x900x280 mm footprint takes up minimal floor space while providing a 13 litre capacity, balancing output with kitchen layout constraints. The single basket measures 28x29x10 cm, holding enough food for a single batch without overcrowding.

Cleaning involves draining the oil through the tap, removing the basket and any accessories, and wiping down the stainless steel surfaces. The Scotch-Brite finish reduces the visibility of marks, and the rounded edges prevent food debris from collecting in corners. The fryer's construction allows easy access to all parts for thorough cleaning, and the water-resistant handles prevent damage from splashes or spills.

This model is a three-phase fryer with a single basket, designed for professional kitchens. It includes a basket, lid, and basket holder as standard. The catalogue places it in the electric fryer section for commercial catering equipment.
