CASTA EASY 700 gas fryer with twin 17 L vats

A gas fryer heats cooking oil by burning gas in flame tubes submerged below the oil. The tubes transfer heat directly into the oil, raising its temperature quickly and evenly. Because the flame is inside the tank, the heat is concentrated where it is needed, reducing waste and keeping the kitchen cooler than open-flame appliances. The oil circulates naturally around the tubes, so every part of the vat reaches the set temperature at the same time, giving consistent results across each batch of food.

The operator lowers a basket of food into the hot oil, where it cooks until the timer sounds or the food reaches the desired colour. When the basket is lifted, the oil drains back into the vat, ready for the next load. A lid covers each vat when the fryer is not in use, keeping the oil clean and reducing heat loss. An oil-draining tank collects used oil for safe disposal or filtering.

Two 17 L vats sit side by side, each with its own burner, valve and temperature control. The vats are pressed from a single sheet of 1.5 mm AISI 304 stainless steel with rounded corners, so there are no seams or crevices where food debris can collect. A mechanical gas valve and safety thermocouple regulate the flame, while a separate safety thermostat cuts the gas supply if the oil exceeds 230 °C. The burners are lit by a piezoelectric igniter powered by an independent battery, so the fryer works even when no electrical outlet is available.

Each vat has a gas supply valve that responds instantly to temperature drops caused by adding cold food, keeping the oil at the set point. Adjustable legs level the unit on uneven floors, and a magnetic-closing door protects the controls and burners from splashes and accidental knocks. All external parts are made of the same AISI 304 stainless steel as the vats.

A 33 kW gas load is typical of a twin-vat fryer and requires a dedicated gas line sized for the appliance. The 800 mm width fits a standard worktop run, while the 700 mm depth leaves room for the operator to stand and manoeuvre baskets. The 850 mm height allows the fryer to slide under most extractor canopies without modification. The two 17 L vats give a total oil volume that balances rapid recovery with enough capacity for high-demand service periods.

Cleaning is simplified by the seamless, rounded interior of each vat. After draining the oil into the stainless-steel tank, the operator wipes the interior with a soft cloth and mild detergent, then rinses and dries it. The flame tubes and burners are brushed to remove carbon deposits, and the safety probes are checked for damage. The exterior is wiped down with a damp cloth, and the adjustable legs are inspected for stability.

The EASY 700 E7/FLG2V17 is a single model; no variants are listed. It is placed in the catalogue under Professional Gas Fryers, Twin-Vat Range.
