Buffalo Free Standing Gas Fryer 23Ltr Twin Basket
£917.00(£1,100.40 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Buffalo 23-litre free-standing gas fryer is a twin-basket, single-tank unit built for continuous frying in commercial kitchen environments. Three vertical cast iron burners deliver strong, even heat across the tank, and the unit runs on natural gas as standard with an LPG conversion kit included for sites without a natural gas supply.
In busy service periods, recovery time is one of the most important performance factors for any fryer. The cast iron burner configuration on this unit supports fast heat recovery between batches, making it a practical choice for kitchens that cannot afford to slow service while the oil returns to temperature. The adjustable thermostat allows operators to set consistent temperatures across different menu items, and a high-limit safety cut-out helps prevent oil overheating during extended service.
From an operational standpoint, this fryer offers several day-to-day advantages worth noting:
- Large cold zone at the base of the tank reduces food particle scorching, helping extend oil life and lower running costs
- Built-in drain valve simplifies oil removal for cleaning and safe disposal
- Stainless steel tank construction supports thorough end-of-day cleaning
- Mounted on castors for straightforward repositioning and access during servicing
Installation requires a gas supply connection by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The unit is free-standing and should be positioned beneath a suitable extraction canopy in line with ventilation requirements. As with any free-standing gas fryer, allow adequate clearance at the sides and rear. This is a floor-standing unit, so sufficient floor space and a level, non-combustible surface are prerequisites.
This fryer is well suited to pubs, takeaways, cafés, and mid-sized restaurant kitchens with consistent frying demand throughout service. It sits at a practical capacity point for operations serving moderate volumes. For very high-throughput sites or operations running multiple fryer stations simultaneously, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity or multiple-tank configuration would better match the demand.
If you are unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your kitchen's output or gas supply setup, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.
Frequently asked questions
Is this fryer suitable for a busy takeaway running continuous service?
This unit is a practical choice for takeaways and similar operations with consistent frying demand throughout service. The cast iron burner arrangement supports solid recovery times between batches, which is the key factor in continuous-service environments. For very high-throughput sites producing large volumes without pause, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity unit or a twin-tank setup would better match the workload.
What are the installation requirements for this gas fryer?
The fryer must be connected to a gas supply by a Gas Safe registered engineer and positioned beneath a correctly sized extraction canopy — local ventilation regulations will apply. It requires a level, stable, non-combustible floor surface with adequate clearance at the sides and rear for safe operation and servicing access. The unit comes configured for natural gas, with an LPG conversion kit supplied if needed.
How does the cold zone help with oil management, and how often should the oil be changed?
The cold zone is the cooler area at the base of the tank, below the active frying zone, where food debris sinks rather than burning in the hot oil. This reduces contamination and scorching, which are the main causes of premature oil degradation. Oil change frequency will depend on what is being cooked and how heavily the fryer is used, but maintaining a clean cold zone through regular draining and filtering will noticeably extend oil life.
