CASTA EASY 700 Gas Fryer with Twin 13 L Tanks

A gas fryer with twin 13 L tanks heats cooking oil by passing gas flames through internal flame tubes. The tubes sit inside the oil, transferring heat directly and evenly so the oil reaches frying temperature quickly without hot spots. Because the heat source is submerged, the oil warms faster than with an external element, and the fryer recovers temperature almost instantly when cold food is added. This keeps a steady flow of fried items moving in busy service periods.

To operate the fryer, the operator fills each tank with 13 L of oil and closes the lid. The gas valve is opened and the piezoelectric ignition is pressed, lighting the burners beneath the flame tubes. The mechanical valve and safety thermocouple regulate the gas flow, holding the oil at the set temperature up to 190 °C. When the oil is hot, the baskets are loaded with food and lowered into the tanks. The operator watches the frying time and lifts the baskets when the food is golden. A separate stainless-steel draining tank catches excess oil as the baskets are removed.

The tanks are pressed from a single sheet of 1.5 mm AISI 304 stainless steel with rounded corners, resisting corrosion and making cleaning straightforward. The burners are high-efficiency models that reduce gas consumption while delivering 22.4 kW of power. A safety thermostat cuts the gas supply if the oil exceeds 230 °C, preventing overheating. The probes for both the working and safety thermostats are built into the tank and shielded from knocks. Adjustable stainless-steel legs and a magnetic-closing door complete the construction.

The 22.4 kW gas rating means the fryer draws a steady load from the gas supply, suitable for commercial kitchens with adequate gas lines. The twin 13 L tanks allow two different foods to be fried at once or a single large batch to be split for even cooking. The 800 mm width, 700 mm depth and 850 mm height give a footprint that fits on most worktops while leaving room for the lid to open and the baskets to be lifted clear.

Cleaning involves draining the oil through the built-in valve, wiping the tanks with a soft cloth and mild detergent, and rinsing the flame tubes with warm water. The stainless-steel draining tank and lid are removed and washed separately. The magnetic door and adjustable legs are wiped down with a damp cloth to keep them free of grease.

The fryer is supplied with two baskets, a lid and the stainless-steel oil draining tank. It is listed in the CASTA catalogue under gas fryers for professional catering.
