TECNOINOX DFR70E2 Drop-in Electric Fryer for Worktops

A drop-in electric fryer heats two independent vats of oil by submerged elements, allowing separate batches of chips, fish or doughnuts to cook at the same time without flavour transfer. The elements sit below the oil level, transferring heat directly into the fat so that the temperature recovers quickly when cold food is added. A thermostat in each vat keeps the oil at the set point, preventing over-heating and extending oil life.

The operator lowers a basket into each vat, fills it with the food to be fried, and sets the timer. Once the cycle ends, the baskets lift out and the food drains over the vat. The twin vats let one batch finish while the next is loaded, keeping the workflow continuous during service.

The fryer is built as a single stainless-steel module that drops into a prepared aperture in the worktop. The 700 mm width and 600 mm depth fit standard worktop cut-outs, leaving room for adjacent hobs or sinks. The 23.9 kg weight allows two people to lift it into place without a hoist.

Controls consist of a power switch, two thermostats (one per vat) and two timers. Each thermostat sets the oil temperature for its vat; each timer starts and stops the frying cycle independently.

The 230 V single-phase or 400 V three-phase supply gives flexibility for kitchen wiring. A 6 kW total load requires its own circuit and a suitably rated fuse. The 8 L capacity in each vat allows medium-sized batches of chips or portions of fish to be fried without over-crowding, which would lower the oil temperature and slow cooking.

Cleaning involves draining the oil, removing the baskets and wiping down the stainless-steel surfaces. The drop-in design means the unit can be lifted out for thorough cleaning of the underside and the worktop aperture.

The fryer is listed in the TECNOINOX catalogue under Drop-in Fryers, Electric.
