Casselin CFG102 gas fryer with twin 10 L vats and tap

A gas fryer heats cooking oil with a burner beneath each vat, transferring heat directly into the oil. The twin 10 L vats allow two separate batches to be fried at once, each controlled by its own thermostat. The inclined bottom of each vat collects sediment, keeping the oil cleaner and reducing the need to replace it as often.

To begin, the operator fills each vat with oil up to the marked level. The piezo ignition system lights the burner without an external flame. The two adjustable thermostats set the oil temperature for each vat independently, so one can be used for chips while the other handles fish or doughnuts. A safety thermostat cuts the gas supply if the oil overheats, and a mechanical gas valve linked to the thermostat maintains the chosen temperature. The pilot light control confirms the burner is lit, and the safety drain valve at the base of each vat allows oil to be removed quickly when needed.

The fryer is built from AISI 304 stainless steel, which resists corrosion and stands up to daily cleaning. The fully stamped tanks have no seams that could trap food debris, and the inclined bottom helps sediment settle away from the cooking zone. Each vat measures 238 mm by 300 mm by 292 mm, giving a 10 L capacity, and the baskets fit snugly inside, measuring 215 mm by 290 mm by 120 mm.

The controls include the piezo ignition button, the two thermostat dials for setting oil temperature, the pilot light indicator, and the safety drain valve lever. The 13 kW power rating means the fryer draws a significant gas load, so it requires a dedicated gas line capable of supplying that output. The 700 mm width, 600 mm depth and 650 mm height fit into a standard worktop space, while the 58 kg weight ensures stability without needing permanent fixing.

Cleaning involves draining the oil through the safety drain valve, wiping down the stainless-steel surfaces, and removing any sediment from the inclined bottom. The seamless tanks and smooth welds prevent food particles from sticking, making daily upkeep straightforward.

The Casselin CFG102 is a twin-vat gas fryer with tap, designed for professional catering kitchens where separate batches and quick oil management are needed.
