The Buffalo twin-tank countertop fryer is a compact, independently controlled double fryer designed for everyday use in professional kitchens. Each 5-litre tank operates separately, allowing operators to cook different products simultaneously at different temperatures — useful in kitchens where fish, chicken, and potato products need to be kept apart. The built-in digital timer on each tank helps maintain consistency across service periods, regardless of who is working the station.

In a busy kitchen environment, the ability to run two tanks independently provides genuine operational flexibility during peak service. Each tank can be brought up to temperature or shut down on its own, which supports more efficient energy use during quieter periods. Recovery between batches is reliable enough for a steady flow of covers, though this unit is best positioned as a workhorse for moderate-volume service rather than high-throughput continuous frying at a dedicated fish-and-chip operation.

Practically, this fryer suits a range of sites well:

Independent dial temperature controls per tank for menu flexibility
Digital timers support consistent results and reduce reliance on individual judgement
Stainless steel construction throughout for durability and straightforward cleaning
Included stainless steel lids protect oil during downtime and extend oil life
Countertop footprint keeps installation simple with no extraction hood required by the unit itself

Installation is straightforward — each tank has its own power lead, so both need to be accounted for when planning counter socket provision. The unit sits on a countertop and does not require a fixed plumbing or gas connection, which suits kitchens adding frying capacity quickly. Do bear in mind local ventilation requirements; extraction above the fryer station is standard good practice regardless of unit size.

This fryer is well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, small hotel operations, and similar sites with moderate frying demand across a mixed menu. For higher-volume sites running continuous frying service or larger batch sizes, a heavier-duty floor-standing model would be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this capacity fits your service requirements or how to plan the counter power supply, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

Is this fryer suitable for a busy pub kitchen running lunch and dinner service?

It works well in a pub kitchen with a mixed fried menu at moderate volume — think sides, starters, and occasional mains across a steady service. If your kitchen runs continuous high-volume frying, particularly for a dedicated fish or chip menu, a higher-capacity floor-standing unit would handle the throughput more comfortably.

What are the electrical requirements, and can it run off a standard socket?

Each tank has its own separate power lead drawing 2.8kW, so you will need two appropriately rated sockets at the counter position. It is worth confirming your counter circuit provision with your electrician before installation, particularly if other high-draw equipment is running on the same ring.

Does the fryer need to be positioned under an extraction canopy?

The unit itself does not have a fixed ventilation requirement, but standard commercial kitchen practice — and most local environmental health guidance — will expect adequate extraction above any frying station. If you are setting up a new counter frying position, factor an extraction canopy into your planning from the outset.
