Delivery Information
Price Match
The Buffalo 20-litre free standing electric fryer is a twin-basket floor model designed for commercial kitchens that need consistent frying output through a busy service. It operates on a single large tank divided for dual-basket use, allowing different products to be cooked simultaneously without cross-contamination of flavours — useful in any kitchen with a varied fried menu.
In practice, the fryer performs reliably across the kind of continuous demand found in pub kitchens, canteens, and mid-sized restaurant operations. The 12kW heating element supports reasonable recovery times between batches, meaning oil temperature drops less sharply after loading and returns to temperature quickly enough to keep service moving. It is not positioned as a high-volume output fryer, but for steady, consistent frying through a lunch or evening service it handles the workload well.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:
- Twin baskets allow separate cooking of different products at the same time
- Hinged elements lift clear of the tank, making cleaning and draining straightforward
- Stainless steel construction throughout holds up under daily commercial use
- Free standing installation gives flexibility in kitchen layout
- Straightforward controls reduce training time for kitchen staff
Installation requires a suitable three-phase or high-amperage single-phase electrical supply — this is worth confirming with your electrician before ordering, as the power draw is significant. The unit should be positioned with adequate clearance for ventilation and positioned under or near a canopy extraction system in line with kitchen ventilation regulations. Consider the floor space footprint carefully in tighter kitchens.
This fryer suits operations with a regular but not exceptionally high demand for fried food — a pub serving food throughout the day, a school or workplace canteen, or a small to mid-sized restaurant kitchen. For sites running very high volumes or requiring continuous back-to-back output, a heavier-duty model with a larger tank or higher power rating may be worth considering. Equally, for smaller operations, a countertop fryer may be sufficient without the floor space commitment.
If you are unsure whether this model is the right fit for your service volume or kitchen setup, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
Is this fryer suitable for a busy pub kitchen running food all day?
Yes, it is well suited to that type of operation. The 20-litre twin-basket setup handles a steady flow of orders throughout a lunch and evening service without difficulty. If your kitchen runs very high volumes continuously — for example, a high-turnover fish and chip shop or large contract catering site — a higher-capacity model may be worth discussing with us.
What electrical supply does this fryer require?
The 12kW power draw means this unit will typically require a three-phase electrical supply or a dedicated high-amperage single-phase circuit, depending on your site's setup. We would recommend confirming your available supply with a qualified electrician before purchasing, as retrofitting the correct supply can add to installation cost and lead time.
Does this fryer need to be installed under extraction?
Yes. Like all commercial frying equipment, it should be positioned under a suitable canopy extraction system that meets current kitchen ventilation requirements. If you are fitting out a new kitchen or relocating equipment, it is worth planning the extraction position alongside the fryer placement rather than as an afterthought.
