Broaster Vizu BR1800CEEST Electric Pressure Fryer Smart Touch

The Broaster Vizu BR1800CEEST is a commercial electric pressure fryer designed specifically for high-volume chicken operations. It uses pressure frying technology to cook chicken faster than conventional open frying whilst sealing in moisture, producing consistently succulent results with less oil absorption. The unit is built from stainless steel throughout and is controlled via a 6-inch Smart Touch touchscreen controller that manages cook cycles, timing, and pressure automatically.

In a busy service environment, throughput consistency is critical. The Vizu is designed to cook approximately 36 pieces of chicken every ten minutes, which places it firmly in the territory of high-demand sites — think busy QSR-style operations, large food courts, or high-volume pub kitchens where fried chicken is a core menu item. The automatic reset to preset settings after each cook cycle reduces the risk of operator error during a busy service, which matters when multiple staff members may be operating the same equipment across a shift.

Practically, the integrated filter box and pump system is worth noting. Oil is filtered and pumped back into the vessel automatically, which extends oil life, reduces the frequency of manual oil changes, and importantly keeps hot oil handling to a minimum — a meaningful safety consideration in any kitchen. Key operational advantages include:

• Automatic cook cycle reset minimises operator error between services
• Integrated oil filtration and pump system extends oil life and reduces handling risk
• Smart Touch controller supports consistent, repeatable results across different staff
• Stainless steel construction supports straightforward daily cleaning routines
• Pressure cooking process reduces cook time and retains moisture in the product

From an installation standpoint, the BR1800CEEST draws 9.9kW and will require a suitable three-phase electrical supply in most configurations — this should be confirmed with a qualified electrician before ordering. At 117.5kg, the unit is substantial and will need appropriate floor loading consideration and adequate access for delivery and positioning. Ventilation requirements should be assessed as part of any installation plan, as pressure fryers produce heat and steam during operation.

This unit is best suited to operations where fried chicken is a significant part of the menu and throughput demands are consistently high. It is not well suited to kitchens with only occasional frying requirements, where a smaller open fryer would be more appropriate and cost-effective. For sites running even higher volumes across multiple service points, larger-capacity pressure frying solutions may be worth considering.
