Buffalo Double Electric Fryer with Timer 2x8Ltr

The Buffalo twin-tank countertop fryer provides two independent 8Ltr oil tanks in a single compact unit, giving a combined oil capacity of 16 litres and an output of up to 16kg of chips per hour. Each tank is controlled separately, with its own thermostat dial and digital timer, making it a practical choice for kitchens that need to run multiple fried products simultaneously or at different temperatures.

In service, the independent 2.9kW elements per tank allow for quick temperature recovery after loading frozen product — a common cause of quality inconsistency during busy periods. Because each side operates entirely on its own, one tank can be dedicated to allergen-sensitive items or a specific product type while the other handles general frying. During quieter periods, one tank can be switched off entirely to reduce energy draw without interrupting service on the other side.

From an operational standpoint, this fryer is straightforward to work with day to day:

• Front-mounted drain taps remove the need to lift heavy pans of oil for emptying
• V-shaped oil pans help direct oil efficiently towards the drain
• Digital timers support consistent results across different products and staff
• Stainless steel lids protect oil quality when the fryer is not in use
• Independent power leads allow each tank to be isolated without affecting the other

Installation is straightforward for a countertop unit of this type. Each tank has its own separate power lead, so two suitable power outlets will be needed at the installation point — worth confirming with your electrician before delivery. The unit is stainless steel throughout and built to withstand regular commercial use, though it is best suited to light-to-medium service volumes rather than high-throughput operations. For kitchens running continuous frying through long services, a larger floor-standing model with a higher oil capacity and more powerful elements may be more appropriate.

This fryer is well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, small restaurants, and secondary frying stations where flexibility and counter space are both considerations. It handles the core fried menu — chips, fish, chicken, battered or breaded items — reliably without the footprint or infrastructure requirements of a larger unit.
