The deep fryer single basket 3.2Gal offers a mid-size single-tank option at 1800W, and the Stainless Steel Electric Deep Fryer has a 20L tank with a single basket rated to hold up to 24.2 lbs of food, the highest single-basket capacity available.
Can I plug a commercial deep fryer into a regular outlet?
Not all of them. The Deep Fryer Commercial 220V Dual Basket runs on 220 to 240V and 7200W, using a NEMA 6-15P plug that requires a matching NEMA 6-15R commercial outlet, not a standard home outlet. Every other fryer is designed for standard 110 to 120V household power.
Are commercial deep fryers made of stainless steel?
Yes. Every fryer uses stainless steel construction for rust and corrosion resistance. The Deep Fryer Commercial Dual Basket uses 0.6mm thickened stainless steel, while the Deep Fryer Commercial 220V Dual Basket uses 0.8mm commercial-grade stainless steel for added durability. The Stainless Steel Electric Deep Fryer also uses U-shaped heating tubes for even heat distribution.
What temperature range do commercial deep fryers reach?
Every fryer adjusts from 140°F up to 390°F or 392°F depending on the model, suitable for standard frying temperatures across most foods.
How much oil does a commercial deep fryer need?
This depends on the tank size. The Deep Fryer Commercial Dual Basket recommends 5 to 7 liters per tank, the 8L commercial deep fryer single basket recommends a 6-liter fill, and the Black Deep Fryer Dual Basket recommends up to 6 liters per tank. Check the fill line on the tank before adding oil.

What comes with a commercial deep fryer?
Every fryer includes the unit, a lid, and a basket. Most also include a residue plate to filter oil dregs and feet for countertop stability.

Several models, including the 8L commercial deep fryer single basket and deep fryer with oil drain timer commercial dual basket, also include a pair of gloves.
Do I need to test a deep fryer before the first use?
