Electric fryer LOTUS 16090630X

A commercial electric fryer heats two separate vats of oil to crisp and cook food evenly. Electric elements beneath each tank raise the oil temperature quickly and hold it steady, while a basket lowers ingredients into the hot oil. The oil's high heat transfers rapidly to the food, sealing the surface and cooking the interior without drying it out. A fan or natural convection circulates the oil, ensuring consistent results across the basket. Dual tanks allow different foods to be fried at the same time without flavour transfer, or one tank can be kept in reserve for peak service.

The operator loads each basket with the food to be fried, then lowers it into the preheated oil. A timer or visual check signals when the food is ready; the basket is lifted, drained and emptied. The lid reduces splashing and heat loss, while the basket holder keeps the basket steady during draining. A drain tap at the base of each tank allows oil to be removed for filtering or replacement without tipping the unit.

The fryer is built from 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish. The top is 1 mm thick, with rounded edges and chrome-plated components for durability and ease of cleaning. Adjustable feet level the unit on uneven floors, and a locking system secures the feet in place. IPX5-rated water-resistant control knobs protect the electronics from splashes and steam.

Controls include a dual thermostat for precise temperature setting and a safety thermostat to prevent overheating. Overheat protection cuts power if the oil temperature exceeds safe limits. Each tank has its own basket, lid and basket holder, allowing independent operation.

A 14.3 kW power rating requires a three-phase 400 V supply, which is standard in professional kitchens for high-demand equipment. The 37 kg weight allows the fryer to be moved with a trolley or two people, while the 600x600 mm footprint fits on most worktops or stands. Each basket measures 200x300x100 mm, holding enough food for a busy service without overcrowding.

Cleaning involves draining the oil through the tap, wiping down the stainless steel surfaces and removing any food debris. The satin finish resists fingerprints and scratches, while the rounded edges prevent dirt from collecting. The IPX5-rated knobs can be wiped with a damp cloth, and the chrome-plated parts polish easily.

The fryer is available with a single tank or as this double-tank model. Both versions include the same safety and control features, with the double tank offering greater flexibility for high-volume kitchens.
