Lincat Lynx 400 Electric Fish Fryer
Fryers in a busy kitchen are big consumers of energy for their relatively compact size.
Specifying a fryer that is large enough to cope with periods of maximum demand often results in over-capacity and wasted energy during periods of lower demand.
An energy efficient alternative is to specify either a twin-tank fryer, allowing one tank to be switched off in quiet periods, or to have two separate fryers standing alongside each other.
For electrically powered fryers, look for heating elements that are immersed in the oil rather than relying on less efficient indirect heating.
For gas fryers, consider fryers that utilise ‘pre-mix’ gas and air technology for efficient combustion, and scores of tiny gas jets for fast oil heat recovery times.
For gas and electricity powered fryers, consider models with a flat bottomed tank, which uses less oil to fry a given quantity of food, resulting in less energy being consumed.
Consider fryers that automatically switch to standby mode when not in use to avoid them being left at full frying temperature regardless of demand, which wastes energy and potentially damages the oil. Fryers incorporating an automatic standby mode will sense inactivity and reduce the oil temperature rather than switching the fryer off completely, allowing a quick recovery to frying temperature.
Oil filtration can be required at least once a day, depending on the volumes being cooked, to remove food debris and ensure the efficient operation of the fryer.

Catering equipment is important in commercial catering and I think not many items are more important than fryers as they are used to produce chips, a Great British tradition. I think most establishments that are in the catering section of the economy are likely to have a fryer. It’s a must have item.
