Falcon Dominator Plus E3860 Twin Basket Electric Fryer

The Falcon Dominator Plus E3860 is a floor-standing twin basket electric fryer from one of the UK's most established commercial catering equipment manufacturers. It provides two independent frying baskets operated from a single unit, allowing different products to be fried concurrently without risk of flavour transfer — a practical requirement in most mixed-menu kitchens.

In a busy service environment, the ability to run both baskets simultaneously helps operators maintain consistent output during peak periods. Whether that's a pub kitchen pushing lunch covers or a school canteen managing a servery queue, the twin basket configuration reduces the bottleneck that a single basket unit can create when demand is high. The redesigned Dominator Plus hob surface is finished in stainless steel, which holds up well under daily commercial use and is straightforward to wipe down at the end of service. A safety thermostat is fitted as standard, and the unit comes supplied with a fish grid and an integral debris cover — the latter helping to preserve oil quality between frying batches, which has a direct bearing on running costs over time.

The key operational benefits include:

• Concurrent dual-basket frying supports throughput during busy service periods
• Stainless steel hob surface is durable and easy to clean at close of service
• Safety thermostat provides protection against overheating during extended use
• Fish grid supplied as standard, suitable for delicate or battered products
• Integral debris cover helps maintain oil quality and extends oil life

As an electric unit, installation is generally more straightforward than a gas equivalent — there is no flue or gas connection to arrange. That said, you will need to confirm your site has an appropriate electrical supply capable of supporting the load before installation. Ventilation is also a consideration; most commercial kitchens require a canopy extract system positioned above any frying station to comply with building regulations and maintain a safe working environment. If you are adding this fryer to an existing cooking suite, it is worth confirming your canopy capacity covers the additional heat and vapour output.

The E3860 is well suited to small to medium commercial kitchens — pub restaurants, café operations, school canteens, and smaller contract catering sites — where a dependable twin basket fryer is needed without the footprint or output of a larger production unit. For sites running continuous high-volume frying across extended service periods, a heavier-duty model from the same range may be worth considering.
