• Small commercial kitchens, cafes and food trucks

When it may not be suitable

This fryer is intended for small commercial or heavy domestic use; it may be less suitable for very large-scale catering where multiple or larger-capacity fryers are required. It also has a specified temperature range (150–190°C) so applications needing temperatures outside this range are not supported.

Key specifications

• Heating power: 2000 W
• Temperature range: 150–190°C (adjustable thermostatic control)
• Tank material: stainless steel
• Removable non-stick basket and lid
• Viewing window and power/ready indicator lights
• Cool-touch handle and anti-slip feet
• Capacity: suitable for batch frying (3 L stated model size)

How to use

Fill the stainless-steel tank with the recommended amount of frying oil, set the temperature between 150 and 190°C using the thermostatic control, and allow the oil to reach the set temperature as indicated by the ready light. Place food in the removable non-stick basket, lower it into the oil using the cool-touch handle, and monitor cooking through the viewing window. When finished, lift the basket to drain excess oil, switch off the unit and allow it to cool before removing and cleaning the basket and tank.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: small commercial or heavy domestic frying versus large-scale catering
• Available kitchen space and ventilation for deep frying
• Required frying capacity per batch and oil consumption
• Compatibility with the foods you plan to prepare within the 150–190°C temperature range

Usage recommendations

For best results, preheat the oil to the required temperature, avoid overcrowding the basket to maintain consistent frying, and drain food well after frying. Regularly clean the removable basket and stainless-steel tank following the manufacturer’s guidance to prolong performance.
