CASTA Electric Fryer 14 Litre for Professional Kitchens P7/FRE2V8

A commercial electric fryer heats a measured volume of oil to a controlled temperature, then lowers food in a basket so the hot oil surrounds it evenly. The oil transfers heat quickly, cooking the food through without drying it, while the basket keeps the food separate from the oil and allows it to drain when lifted. This method gives a crisp exterior and a moist interior in a short time, which is essential for high-volume service in restaurants, takeaways and event catering.

The operator fills the tank with fresh oil to the marked level, then sets the electric thermostat to the required temperature. Once the oil reaches that temperature, the green indicator light shows the heating elements are active and the fryer is ready. The basket is loaded with food, lowered into the oil and held for the programmed cooking time. When the food is done, the basket is lifted out, drained and emptied. A front-mounted chrome–brass drain tap allows the oil to be removed at the end of service, and the tank can be cleaned without tools because the heating elements lift and rotate clear of the tank.

The fryer is built around a 14-litre stainless steel tank pressed as a single piece of 1.5 mm AISI 304 (18/10) stainless steel. The top edge is shaped with a smooth, rounded indentation that gives the oil room to expand when food is added, preventing spills. A safety thermostat cuts power if the oil temperature exceeds 230 °C, and the control panel shows an orange light when the unit is powered and a green light when the heating elements are on.

The 400 V 3-phase supply matches the standard circuit in professional kitchens, allowing the fryer to be installed alongside other heavy-duty equipment without overloading a single phase. The 800 mm width and 700 mm depth give a stable footprint on a worktop, while the 305 mm height keeps the basket at a comfortable working level. The tank capacity of 14 litres is sized for batch frying of common menu items such as chips, chicken portions and fish fillets.

Cleaning is simplified by the single-piece tank, the lift-out heating elements and the front drain tap. After the oil is drained, the tank can be wiped clean, and the heating elements can be lifted and rotated to reach every surface. The chrome–brass tap resists corrosion and is easy to operate with one hand.

The fryer is designed for countertop installation on sturdy legs, integrating into a professional kitchen without requiring built-in cabinetry.
