LOTUS Electric Fryer 13+13 L with Dual Baskets

A professional electric fryer heats oil to a consistent temperature, allowing food to cook quickly and evenly while forming a crisp outer layer. The oil acts as a heat transfer medium, surrounding the food to ensure uniform cooking without drying it out. A heating element beneath the oil vat raises the temperature, while a thermostat maintains the set level, preventing fluctuations that could affect texture or safety. Overheat protection cuts power if the oil exceeds safe limits, reducing fire risk in a busy kitchen.

To operate, fill each 13-litre vat with oil to the marked level. Switch on the fryer and set the thermostat to the required temperature. Once the oil reaches the set point, lower the baskets—each sized 28 x 29 x 10 cm—loaded with food into the oil. The baskets keep items submerged and allow easy removal once cooking is complete. A tap fitted to each vat simplifies oil drainage for cleaning or replacement. Adjustable legs ensure the unit sits level on uneven floors, while a locking system prevents movement during use.

The fryer's 21.9 kW power rating requires a three-phase electrical supply, suitable for commercial kitchens with high-capacity circuits. A voltage of 400/440 V at 50/60 Hz matches standard industrial power systems, avoiding the need for additional transformers. The 75 kg weight indicates a sturdy, floor-standing unit that remains stable during operation but may require two people to move. Its 800 x 705 x 280 mm footprint occupies a fixed space on the worktop, so planning for clearance around the unit is necessary for safe access and ventilation.

Constructed from 18/10 grade AISI 304 stainless steel, the fryer resists corrosion and withstands frequent cleaning. Rounded edges and Scotch-Brite finish reduce the risk of damage to surfaces or hands, while chrome-plated details add durability. Water-resistant IPX5-rated handles allow safe handling even when wet. A dual thermostat system provides redundancy: one thermostat controls cooking temperature, while a second acts as a safety cut-out in case of failure. The fryer includes two baskets, two lids, and basket holders for organised workflow.

Cleaning involves draining the oil through the tap, then wiping down the interior and exterior with a damp cloth. The stainless steel surface resists staining, while the rounded design prevents food debris from accumulating in corners. Adjustable legs can be raised or lowered to aid drainage or stability, and the locking mechanism ensures they stay in place once set. The fryer is designed for continuous use in professional kitchens, with no stated variants or additional configurations.
