LOTUS Fryer 10 litres FME-10 for professional kitchens

A professional electric fryer heats a measured volume of oil to a consistent temperature, allowing food to be submerged in a wire basket. The oil transfers heat rapidly and evenly, creating a crisp exterior while cooking the interior. A thermostat maintains the set temperature, while a second safety thermostat prevents overheating if the first fails. The basket lowers into the oil and lifts out cleanly, resting on a support to drain excess oil before serving.

The operator fills the tank with oil to the marked level, sets the operating thermostat to the required temperature, and switches the fryer on. Once the oil reaches temperature, the basket is loaded with food and lowered into the tank. A timer or visual check determines when the food is ready; the basket is then lifted and left to drain. The oil remains in the tank for repeated use, filtered through the included drain pan to remove debris.

Built from 18/10 chromium-nickel stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite satin finish, the unit resists corrosion and staining. The 1 mm thick worktop has rounded edges for safety, chromed details for durability, and a rear splashback to protect the wall. Sheathed heating elements sit inside the tank, while a lift-up basket rest keeps the basket clear of the oil when not in use.

Controls consist of two thermostats: one sets the cooking temperature, the other cuts power if the oil overheats. Adjustable feet allow the fryer to be levelled on uneven floors, and the resistance box can be removed for thorough cleaning.

A 6 kW power rating requires a 400 V three-phase supply, suitable for commercial kitchens with dedicated circuits. The 10-litre volume determines the batch size, while the 35 kg weight indicates the unit can be moved by two people but is not portable. The 400 × 700 × 850 mm footprint fits under standard worktops or on a dedicated stand.

Cleaning involves draining the oil, removing the resistance box, and washing the tank and basket with warm water and detergent. The stainless steel surface can be polished to maintain its appearance, and the oil filter drain pan should be emptied after each use to prevent build-up.

Available in single or double tank configurations, both including baskets and lids. The fryer is supplied with an oil filter drain pan and adjustable feet for stability.
