How Commercial Twin Tank Electric Fryers Work
These professional twin tank fryers operate on a straightforward but efficient principle. Electric elements submerged in oil heat rapidly to your set temperature—typically between 130-190°C. The dual tank design means each side operates independently with its own thermostat, letting you cook items requiring different temperatures simultaneously. Most models feature a 'cold zone' at the tank bottom where food particles settle without burning, extending oil life and preventing flavour contamination. When you lower the basket, powerful elements maintain consistent temperature despite cold food introduction, ensuring crispy, evenly cooked results every time—even during the busiest Friday night rush!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Twin Tank Electric Fryers
To get the most from your twin tank fryer, filter oil daily and change it every 3-5 days depending on usage. Don't overload baskets—2kg chips per 8L tank is ideal for perfect crispiness. Stagger your frying to maintain oil temperature during busy periods, and keep thermostats at 175-185°C for most items (lower for doughnuts, higher for chips). Consider using commercial fryer cleaner for regular deep cleaning, and pair with chip scuttles to keep fried food warm and crispy.
