MBM DOMINA PRO 700 Electric Twin-Basket Fryer 12+12 Litre

A twin-basket electric fryer heats two separate vats of oil simultaneously, allowing continuous frying of different foods without flavour transfer. Electric elements submerged in the oil raise its temperature quickly and evenly, while a thermostat maintains the set level. The hot oil surrounds the food in the basket, cooking it rapidly and creating a crisp exterior while sealing in moisture. A cold zone beneath the elements collects debris, preventing burnt particles from spoiling the oil and extending its usable life.

The operator loads each basket with the food to be fried, lowers it into the preheated oil, and sets the timer. The thermostat keeps the temperature steady, so the food cooks uniformly without constant attention. Once the timer signals, the baskets are lifted out, drained, and the food is ready for service. A front drainer simplifies oil removal, and a stainless steel filter catches debris when the oil is changed.

The fryer is built from 1 mm AISI 304 18/10 stainless steel, with moulded tanks that have rounded corners for easy cleaning. Continuous welding secures the tanks to the worktop, eliminating gaps where food residue could collect. Armoured electric heating elements inside each tank tilt out for thorough cleaning, and a safety thermostat prevents overheating.

Each tank holds 12 litres of oil, providing enough volume to fry large batches without frequent refilling. The 9 kW heating element in each vat delivers rapid heat-up and recovery, essential for high-demand service. The 400 V-3N-50/60 Hz supply requires a three-phase circuit, standard in professional kitchens, and the 72 kg weight ensures stability on the worktop while still allowing two people to move it when necessary.

The 700 mm width fits between standard worktop units, and the 850 mm height allows comfortable operation without stooping. Each tank measures 240 mm by 340 mm by 215 mm, giving ample space for baskets without crowding. The large cold zone beneath the heating elements collects sediment, reducing oil degradation and simplifying maintenance.

Cleaning involves tilting the heating elements out of the tanks, wiping down the stainless steel surfaces, and removing debris from the cold zone. The front drainer and oil collection tank with filter make oil changes quick and safe. The thermostatic control and safety thermostat require no special upkeep beyond regular checks.

The DOMINA PRO 700 is a twin-tank fryer with identical 12 litre vats, each independently controlled. It is listed in the MBM professional catering range under fryers and frying equipment.
