Falcon Dominator Plus E3860 Twin Basket Electric Fryer

The Falcon Dominator Plus E3860 is a twin basket electric fryer from one of the UK's most established commercial catering equipment manufacturers. Designed for the demands of professional kitchen service, it provides two independent frying baskets, allowing operators to run different products simultaneously without flavour transfer — a practical advantage in any busy service environment.

In commercial use, twin basket fryers of this type are well suited to operations where throughput matters. The ability to fry in two baskets concurrently supports consistent output during peak service, whether that's a high-volume pub kitchen pushing covers at lunch or a contract catering operation running a busy servery. The redesigned Dominator Plus range features a stainless steel hob surface, which holds up well under daily kitchen use and is straightforward to keep clean at the end of service. A safety thermostat is fitted as standard, providing an additional layer of protection against overheating. A fish grid and integral dust and debris cover are also supplied as standard, which is a useful detail for sites that need to manage cross-contamination between frying batches.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical benefits include:

• Simultaneous frying across two baskets, supporting faster throughput during busy service periods
• Stainless steel hob surface for durability and ease of cleaning
• Safety thermostat providing protection against overheating
• Fish grid supplied as standard, useful for delicate or battered products
• Integral debris cover helping to maintain oil quality between uses

As an electric floor or countertop unit, installation requirements are more straightforward than gas equivalents — there is no flue or gas supply to consider — but you will need to confirm your site has an appropriate electrical supply to support the load. Ventilation above the fryer should also be considered; most commercial kitchens will require a canopy extract system positioned above any frying station to meet building regulations and maintain a safe working environment. It is worth confirming your ventilation capacity before installation, particularly if adding this unit to an existing cooking suite.

The E3860 is well suited to small to medium commercial kitchens — pub restaurants, café kitchens, school canteens, or smaller contract catering operations — where a reliable twin basket fryer is needed without requiring the capacity of a larger or higher-output unit. For higher-volume sites running continuous frying across extended service periods, it may be worth exploring heavier-duty alternatives from the same range.
