FriFri Frita+ 8 Electric Countertop Fryer Three Phase

The FriFri Frita+ 8 is a three phase electric countertop fryer designed for commercial kitchens that need consistent frying output without dedicating floor space to a freestanding unit. It runs on a three phase supply and is built around a stainless steel tank, with a mechanical thermostat that maintains oil temperature across service. Two baskets are included as standard, and a rear-mounted slot-in lid doubles as a splashback and basket support — a small but practical detail in a tight workspace.

With a rated output of 16.5kg per hour, the Frita+ 8 is well suited to kitchens running a steady volume of fried dishes during service — pub kitchens, cafés, smaller restaurants, and food-to-go operations where a full-size floor fryer would be disproportionate to the throughput required. The three phase power supply supports the element in recovering oil temperature quickly after each load, which matters when orders come through in close succession during a busy service period.

From an operational standpoint, the Frita+ 8 offers several practical advantages:

• Compact countertop footprint preserves kitchen floor space for other equipment
• Mechanical thermostat provides straightforward, reliable temperature control
• Stainless steel construction supports daily cleaning and withstands heavy use
• Two-basket setup allows different products to be fried simultaneously
• Rear lid and splashback reduces mess and keeps the work area manageable

Installation requires a three phase electrical supply — this is not suitable for single phase connections, which is an important consideration if you are fitting it into an existing single phase kitchen without supply upgrades. At 28kg, the unit is manageable to position on a suitable countertop, but the surface and supporting structure should be rated for the weight. Adequate ventilation above the fryer should also be factored into the installation plan.

The Frita+ 8 is a practical choice for operations that fry regularly but do not need the capacity of a large floor-standing model. For sites with significantly higher throughput demands, a heavier-duty option from the range may be worth considering. Equally, for very occasional frying or lower-volume sites, a smaller single phase unit could be more appropriate and simpler to install.

If you are weighing up whether the Frita+ 8 is the right fit for your kitchen — particularly around the power supply or expected service volume — we are happy to talk it through.
