CASTA Gas Fryer 14 Litre for Professional Kitchens P7/FRG2V8

A gas fryer heats a vat of oil with a burner beneath the tank, transferring energy directly into the oil for rapid, even frying. The hot oil surrounds the food in the basket, cooking it quickly while sealing the surface for a crisp finish without excessive grease absorption. This method delivers consistent results across batches, making it essential for high-volume frying in professional kitchens.

To operate, the fryer is first filled with oil to the marked level. The piezo ignition is pressed to light the burner, and the temperature control is set to the desired level, up to 190 °C. Once the oil reaches the set temperature, the basket is loaded with food and lowered into the oil. The heating indicator shows when the burner is active, allowing the operator to monitor the process. After frying, the basket is lifted, drained, and the food removed. The grease drain tap is then opened to empty the oil for cleaning or replacement.

The fryer is constructed entirely from AISI 304 (18/10) stainless steel, providing a hygienic, corrosion-resistant surface that withstands daily use in commercial environments. The included nozzle set allows compatibility with different gas types, while the built-in gas leak protection automatically shuts off the supply if a leak is detected. A grease drain tap simplifies oil removal, reducing downtime between services.

The 13.2 kW gas power rating indicates the energy input required for rapid heating, suitable for busy kitchens where speed and consistency are critical. The 14 litre capacity determines the volume of oil the fryer holds, balancing output with a compact footprint. The dimensions of 800 mm wide, 700 mm deep and 305 mm high define the space it occupies on a worktop or counter, allowing integration into existing kitchen layouts without major adjustments.

Cleaning involves draining the oil through the grease tap, wiping down the stainless steel surfaces and removing any food debris from the basket and vat. The durable construction resists staining and corrosion, reducing the need for frequent deep cleaning. The fryer is designed for continuous use, with safety features that protect against gas leaks and overheating.

The CASTA P7/FRG2V8 is a standalone fryer unit, not part of a modular system or range. It is placed in the catalogue under commercial cooking equipment, specifically gas fryers for professional kitchens.
