LOTUS Gas Fryer with Neutral Cabinet & TouchScreen 18 L 0832A450

A gas fryer heats a vat of oil with high-efficiency external burners, transferring heat evenly through the stainless steel bowl. The oil temperature is controlled precisely, allowing food to cook quickly while forming a crisp exterior and sealing in moisture. The neutral cabinet beneath provides dry, ambient storage for ingredients or tools, keeping them within reach without occupying additional worktop space.

The operator lowers two baskets into the oil, each sized to hold standard catering portions. The 7-inch touchscreen allows instant setting of temperature and cooking parameters, with up to 100 programmable modes for different foods. An oil maintenance mode holds the oil at 110 °C between batches, reducing energy use and extending oil life. Pre-heating to 160 °C ensures the oil reaches optimal temperature before cooking begins, while a melting function gently warms solid fats to prevent scorching. Oil sensors prevent operation if the level is too low or too high, protecting the appliance and maintaining safety.

The fryer is built from 18/10 AISI 304 stainless steel, with a satin-finish Scotch-Brite worktop, rounded edges, and chrome-plated details. The rear protective panel and IPX5-rated waterproof control handles ensure durability in busy kitchens. Two fryer baskets, a bowl sieve, and a lid are included for filtering and maintaining oil cleanliness. A removable oil collection tank on wheels simplifies draining and disposal during cleaning.

The 18 kW gas burner delivers rapid heat recovery, while the 0.05 kW electrical supply powers the touchscreen and controls. The 230 V three-phase connection is standard for professional catering equipment, ensuring compatibility with commercial kitchen circuits. At 72 kg, the fryer is stable on the floor but can be moved with a trolley when needed. Its 400x705x900 mm footprint fits into standard worktop layouts, with the neutral cabinet providing additional storage below.

Cleaning involves removing the baskets, sieve, and lid for washing, while the oil collection tank simplifies draining. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and allows easy wiping down of surfaces. The touchscreen and controls are sealed to prevent water ingress, making them safe for regular sanitisation.

This model includes two baskets, a bowl sieve, and a lid, with the neutral cabinet integrated beneath the fryer bowl. The appliance is categorised under professional gas fryers with advanced oil management systems.
