FriFri Touch 422 Free Standing Twin Tank Electric Fryer TL422M12G0

The FriFri Touch 422 is a free-standing twin-tank electric fryer designed for commercial kitchens that need consistent, high-volume frying output from a relatively compact footprint. Each tank operates independently, allowing different products to be fried simultaneously at different settings — a practical advantage in kitchens running varied menus. Control is handled through a 4.3-inch touchscreen interface with icon-driven menu programming, which reduces the reliance on operator experience to achieve repeatable results.

In a busy service environment, the Touch 422's adaptive cooking feature adjusts frying times automatically based on batch size, helping to compensate for the temperature recovery demands that come with continuous throughput. The ColourCue status system — a traffic light indicator visible at a glance — allows front-line staff to monitor fryer status without interrupting service. For sites where consistency across a long service period is critical, this kind of at-a-glance feedback genuinely supports kitchen flow.

From an operational standpoint, several features are worth noting:

• Adaptive batch cooking adjusts frying times automatically, reducing the risk of undercooked food during high-load service
• Oil Assistant monitors oil condition onscreen, prompting filtration before quality degrades
• Hot oil filtration can be completed mid-service in under five minutes, minimising downtime
• The optional LiftFri automatic basket lifting system removes food at the end of the cycle, preventing overcooking
• Energy consumption reporting covers periods from 8 hours up to 28 days, supporting cost monitoring and efficiency review

Installation requires a three-phase electrical supply, which is standard in most commercial kitchen environments but should be confirmed before ordering. At 79kg, the unit will need appropriate handling during installation, and sufficient clearance should be allowed for ventilation and cleaning access around the fryer body. The pressed tank construction with radiused internal corners and hinged elements at two tilt positions makes routine cleaning more straightforward than many comparable units.

The Touch 422 is well suited to mid- to high-volume operations — fish and chip restaurants, pub kitchens, hotel catering, and contract catering sites where frying forms a core part of the menu. It is not the right choice for sites with only occasional frying requirements, where a lighter single-tank unit would be more appropriate. For very high-volume sites with continuous frying demand across a full service day, it is worth discussing whether a higher-output model would better match the workload.

If you are unsure whether the Touch 422 matches your service volumes and installation setup, our team is happy to talk through the specifics before you commit.
