MBM Gas Fryer F6G – 8 Litre Professional Vat

A gas fryer transfers heat from a burner beneath the vat directly into the oil, raising its temperature quickly and evenly. The oil then surrounds the food in the basket, cooking it through conduction and convection without drying the surface. This method gives a crisp exterior while keeping the interior moist, and the large oil volume stabilises the temperature when batches are added or removed.

The operator fills the 8 litre vat with fresh oil, lights the burner and sets the thermostat. Once the oil reaches the chosen temperature, the basket is loaded with food and lowered into the vat. A timer can be set for the required cooking time; when it expires, the basket is lifted out and drained over the vat before the food is served or held.

The fryer is built in stainless steel, forming the vat, the outer casing and the worktop. A gas burner sits beneath the vat, and a thermostat controls the flame to maintain the oil temperature. The 400 mm width and 600 mm depth give a compact footprint that fits on most worktops, while the 270 mm height keeps the loading point at a comfortable level. The 30 kg weight means the unit can be moved by two people without a trolley, but is stable once in place.

Controls consist of a gas valve with a safety interlock, a thermostat dial marked in degrees Celsius, and a manual timer. The 7.4 kW power input requires a dedicated gas line sized for commercial catering appliances.

Cleaning involves draining the oil, removing the basket and wiping the vat and worktop with a non-abrasive cloth. The gas burner and thermostat are serviced according to the manufacturer's schedule to keep the flame steady and the temperature accurate.
