Stalgast Electric Fryer with 8 L Tape System

An electric fryer heats a fixed volume of oil to a set temperature, then holds it steady while a basket of food is lowered into the oil. The oil transfers heat rapidly to the food, creating a crisp outer layer while cooking the inside evenly. A cold zone beneath the heating element collects food particles that sink, preventing them from burning and keeping the oil cleaner for longer. This method gives consistent results across batches and reduces the need to replace oil as often.

The operator fills the vat with oil to the marked level, then sets the temperature control knob between 60 °C and 200 °C. Once the oil reaches the chosen temperature, the basket is loaded with food and lowered into the oil. The lid can be closed to retain heat and reduce splashing. After the set cooking time, the basket is lifted out and drained over the vat. The cold zone collects debris, which can be removed later without disturbing the oil.

The fryer is constructed from stainless steel with a solid basket and lid fitted with heat-resistant handgrips. The control panel is removable for cleaning, exposing the area behind it. The cold zone system is built into the vat, separating the heating element from the base where particles settle.

A temperature control knob on the front panel sets the oil temperature between 60 °C and 200 °C. The power rating of 3.0 kW determines the load on the electrical circuit, requiring a dedicated 230 V single-phase supply typical of commercial kitchens. The 8 L oil capacity allows for moderate batch frying without frequent refills. The unit measures 300 mm deep, 510 mm wide and 390 mm high, fitting on a standard worktop or counter. The basket dimensions of 215 mm by 255 mm by 105 mm set the maximum size of food portions that can be fried at once.

Cleaning involves removing the control panel to access the area behind it, lifting out the basket and wiping down the interior of the vat. The cold zone should be emptied of debris after each service to maintain oil quality. The lid and handgrips can be washed separately with warm water and detergent.

The fryer is listed in the Stalgast catalogue under professional fryers for commercial kitchens.
