Product Description
The Falcon Dominator Plus E3860 is a floor-standing twin basket electric fryer designed for commercial kitchen environments where consistent frying output is needed across a mixed menu. The two baskets operate independently from a single unit, which means different products can be fried at the same time without any risk of flavour transfer — a straightforward but important practical feature in kitchens running varied menus.
During busy service periods, the twin basket arrangement helps operators keep pace with demand without the bottleneck that a single basket unit can create. Both baskets can be run concurrently, giving the kitchen more flexibility when orders are stacking up. The Dominator Plus hob surface is finished in stainless steel, which holds up reliably under daily commercial use and cleans down quickly at the end of service. A safety thermostat is fitted as standard, and the unit comes supplied with a fish grid for delicate or battered products. An integral debris cover is also included, which helps protect oil quality between batches — a small detail that makes a noticeable difference to oil longevity and running costs over time.
- Twin independent baskets allow concurrent frying without flavour transfer
- Stainless steel hob surface withstands daily use and cleans efficiently
- Safety thermostat fitted as standard for protection during extended service
- Fish grid supplied for handling delicate or battered products
- Integral debris cover helps preserve oil quality between frying batches
As an electric unit, the E3860 avoids the need for a gas connection or flue, which simplifies installation on many sites. That said, you will need to confirm that your electrical supply is capable of supporting the unit's load before proceeding. Ventilation is still a requirement — most commercial kitchens will need a canopy extract system above any frying station to comply with building regulations and maintain a safe working environment. If this fryer is being added to an existing cooking line, it is worth checking that your canopy has sufficient capacity for the additional heat and vapour output.
The E3860 is a practical choice for small to medium commercial kitchens — pub restaurants, café operations, school canteens, and smaller contract catering sites — where a reliable twin basket fryer is needed without the footprint of a larger production unit. For sites running continuous high-volume frying across extended service periods, a heavier-duty model from the same range is worth considering.
If you are weighing up whether this fryer suits your kitchen layout and service volumes, the team is glad to talk it through with you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- It is well suited to that type of operation. The twin basket configuration gives a pub kitchen enough flexibility to handle concurrent orders during peak covers without a single basket becoming a bottleneck. For sites running very high-volume frying continuously across both sessions, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty model from the Dominator range would serve you better.
- The main considerations are your electrical supply capacity and your kitchen ventilation. You will need to confirm the site can support the unit's electrical load, and that a suitable canopy extract system is in place above the frying station — this is a requirement under building regulations for commercial kitchens regardless of whether the fryer is gas or electric. If the fryer is joining an existing cooking suite, check that your canopy is rated to handle the additional heat and vapour output.
- Yes — the two baskets operate independently, so you can fry different products concurrently without flavour transfer between them. This is one of the practical reasons a twin basket unit is often preferred in kitchens running mixed menus, where you might need chips alongside a battered fish or a chicken product at the same time.
