Neumarker Electric Pastry Deep Fryer 16 Litre

A pastry deep fryer heats a vat of oil to a consistent temperature, allowing dough products to cook quickly and evenly while developing a crisp outer layer. The electric element sits below the oil, transferring heat through conduction and convection. A thermostat maintains the set temperature, preventing fluctuations that could lead to uneven frying or excessive oil absorption. The fryer's design ensures the oil circulates naturally, so every piece of pastry receives the same treatment without manual stirring.

To operate, the oil is first heated to the required temperature. The operator lowers a basket filled with raw dough products into the hot oil, where they cook until golden. A timer or visual check signals when to lift the basket, draining excess oil before transferring the pastries to a cooling rack or serving tray. The fryer's capacity allows batch frying without overcrowding, which would lower the oil temperature and slow the process.

The Neumarker pastry deep fryer is built with a stainless steel exterior and interior, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning. The 540 mm width fits neatly on a standard worktop, while the 13 kg weight allows it to be moved with a trolley or by two people. The 400 V three-phase power supply is typical for professional catering equipment, providing the necessary load for consistent heating without overloading a single-phase circuit.

Controls include a thermostat to set the oil temperature and a power switch to activate the heating element. The 16 litre capacity is sized for medium to high-volume production, balancing output with the fryer's compact footprint.

Cleaning involves draining the oil, wiping down the interior with a non-abrasive cloth, and removing any food debris from the basket and heating element. The stainless steel surfaces resist staining and can be sanitised with standard kitchen cleaning agents. Regular oil changes and filter maintenance keep the fryer operating efficiently.

The fryer is categorised under professional pastry equipment, suitable for bakeries, cafés and catering kitchens where fried dough products are a regular requirement.
