The Buffalo countertop electric fryer is a twin-tank unit, each tank holding 5 litres of oil and controlled by its own dial thermostat and heating element. The two tanks operate independently — each powered by a separate lead — which means you can run both simultaneously or keep one off during quieter periods. It is a straightforward, no-frills fryer built in stainless steel throughout.

In a working kitchen, this unit performs well for moderate-volume frying: café service, small restaurant operations, catering vans, or as a supplementary fryer alongside a larger range. Each 2.8kW element provides consistent heat recovery between batches under typical service conditions. That said, this is not a replacement for a floor-standing fryer in a high-throughput environment — at 5 litres per tank it suits kitchens frying in manageable volumes rather than back-to-back bulk production.

The practical advantages of this model come through clearly in day-to-day use:

  • Twin tanks allow separate frying of different foods without flavour transfer
  • Independent controls mean one tank can be kept on standby to save energy
  • Full disassembly makes end-of-service cleaning quicker than many comparable units
  • Included lids protect the oil between services, reducing waste and extending oil life
  • Lightweight and compact enough to relocate for pop-up catering or temporary service points

Installation is simple — this is a countertop unit requiring only a suitable electrical supply. Each tank draws 2.8kW on its own lead, so you will need two separate socket outlets rated appropriately. There are no gas or water connections, and no fixed installation is required. At 9kg the unit is easy to move, though it should be positioned on a stable, heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance around it during use.

This fryer is well suited to cafés, snack bars, small restaurants, and mobile catering operators who need the flexibility of twin-tank frying without committing to a floor-standing unit. If your operation involves sustained high-volume frying or continuous service, a heavier-duty countertop or floor-standing model with larger tank capacity would likely be a better fit.

If you are unsure whether this unit will handle your expected service volumes, we are happy to talk it through before you place an order.

Frequently asked questions

Is this fryer suitable for a busy lunch service in a small café?

It is well suited to moderate-volume service in a small café or snack bar. Each 5-litre tank handles batches comfortably at that scale, and the independent controls let you manage output across both tanks. If you are running continuous back-to-back frying throughout a full lunch service, you may find the tank size limiting and a larger-capacity unit would be worth considering.

What electrical supply does this fryer need?

Each tank has its own 2.8kW heating element and a separate power lead, so you will need two suitable socket outlets — not a single shared connection. Make sure your countertop positions are within reach of two appropriately rated outlets before installing. There are no gas or water connections required.

Can the two tanks be used for different foods at the same time?

Yes — this is one of the main practical advantages of a twin-tank fryer. Because the tanks are completely separate, you can fry chips in one and, for example, fish or coated items in the other without any risk of flavour transfer. Each tank is thermostat-controlled independently, so you can also set different temperatures to suit different products.
