CASTA EASY 700 Gas Fryer with Cabinet & 17 L Tank

A gas fryer heats cooking oil by passing gas flames through internal tubes submerged in the oil. The tubes spread the heat evenly across the tank, raising the oil to frying temperature quickly and maintaining it against the cooling effect of cold food. This method gives a high heat output without an electrical supply, making it suitable for kitchens where power is limited or where gas is the preferred fuel for cost or response time. The operator lowers the basket of food into the hot oil, where it cooks by contact with the oil and by the hot air trapped under the lid. When the timer signals, the basket is lifted out and the food drained. The lid keeps the oil clean between batches and reduces heat loss, while the built-in draining tank collects used oil for safe disposal. The sequence begins by filling the 17 L tank with oil and closing the lid. The gas valve is opened and the piezoelectric igniter sparked to light the burners. The thermostat is set to the required temperature, typically around the maximum of 190 °C for most fried foods. Once the oil reaches temperature, the basket is loaded and lowered. The safety thermostat monitors the oil and cuts the gas supply if the temperature exceeds 230 °C, preventing overheating. After use, the gas is turned off and the oil left to cool before draining into the stainless steel tank provided. The tank is pressed from a single sheet of 1.5 mm AISI 304 stainless steel with rounded corners for hygiene and easy cleaning. The cabinet and door are also made of the same grade of stainless steel, with adjustable legs for levelling on uneven floors. The door closes magnetically to keep the interior clean and reduce heat loss. Controls consist of a gas valve that regulates the flame and thus the oil temperature, a working thermostat that maintains the set temperature, and a safety thermostat that shuts off the gas if the oil overheats. The piezoelectric igniter is operated by a push-button that generates a spark without needing an electrical connection. A 17 L capacity allows the fryer to handle multiple portions at once, while the 16.5 kW gas input gives a rapid heat-up and recovery time. The footprint of 400 mm by 700 mm fits into a standard worktop space, and the 850 mm height allows the operator to load and unload the basket without stooping. The weight of the unit, though not stated, is typical for a stainless steel fryer of this size and will require two people to move safely. Cleaning involves draining the oil, wiping down the tank and cabinet with a damp cloth, and removing any food debris from the basket and lid. The rounded corners and smooth welds of the tank reduce places where food or oil can collect, making the daily clean quicker and more thorough. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and staining, extending the life of the appliance. The fryer is supplied with a basket, lid and a stainless steel oil draining tank. This single-tank configuration is tailored for kitchens that value consistent oil volume and predictable recovery times without juggling multiple baskets or split compartments.
