FriFri Touch 422 Free Standing Twin Tank Electric Fryer TL422L12G0

The FriFri Touch 422 is a free-standing twin-tank electric fryer designed for commercial kitchen environments where consistent output, oil management, and ease of operation matter. It runs on single phase power, which makes it accessible to a wider range of sites without the need for three-phase electrical infrastructure. The twin-tank configuration allows operators to fry different products simultaneously without cross-contamination of flavours — a practical advantage in kitchens running varied menus.

In service, the Touch 422 is built around the kind of demands a busy kitchen places on frying equipment. The adaptive cooking system adjusts cycle times based on batch size, which helps maintain consistent results during high-turnover periods when operators may not be monitoring every basket individually. The ColourCue traffic light status display is a straightforward addition that reduces the chance of errors in loud, fast-moving kitchen environments — operators can read the fryer's status at a glance without stopping to check a screen. An optional LiftFri automatic basket lifting system can be added for kitchens where precise timing is critical or staffing levels make constant monitoring difficult.

The oil management features are among the more practical aspects of this fryer. The built-in Oil Assistant monitors oil condition and prompts filtering when needed, and filtering can be carried out while the oil is still hot, mid-service if necessary, with the unit ready to fry again in a short window. This helps extend oil life and maintain food quality without requiring a full service pause. Energy consumption data is available over rolling periods, which can be useful for operators reviewing running costs.

• Twin-tank design for simultaneous cooking of separate menu items
• Adaptive batch cooking that adjusts cycle times to load size
• Hot oil filtering mid-service to minimise downtime
• ColourCue status display for at-a-glance monitoring in busy service
• Single phase supply, broadening installation compatibility

Installation requires adequate ventilation above the fryer in line with current regulations, and the unit's footprint and weight — at 79kg — should be factored into floor planning and any requirement for a grease trap or drainage provision. The pressed tank construction with radiused corners and hinged elements is designed to make cleaning straightforward, which matters when daily clean-down time is limited. USB software updates mean the unit's operating firmware can be kept current without engineer visits.

The Touch 422 is well suited to mid-volume operations: casual dining restaurants, fish and chip shops, pub kitchens, and hotel operations where frying forms a regular part of the menu. For very high-volume or continuous-fry environments, a higher-capacity model may be worth considering. Equally, for sites with simpler menus and lower throughput requirements, there are more straightforward options in the range.
