EFP/EFU high performance stand-alone electrical fryers are designed to fry large quantities of product very quickly, while keeping electricity consumption levels low and respecting the flavour and nutritional properties of the oil for constantly high quality fried food. The electronic temperature control and the fast recovery of the correct frying temperature after adding frozen or fresh food to the tank make for crispy, light results. These models are fitted with the “melting” function for controlled heating of the oil or solid fat. During the initial melting stage, power input is just 6.6 kW, gradually allowing the oil/fat to reach a temperature of 90 °C. This stage is essential to avoid overheating the oil near the heat source while the oil/fat temperature is still low. After this initial stage, the EFP/EFU high performance stand-alone electrical fryers switch to 13.2 kW to bring the oil up to the required frying temperature. Only when the fresh or frozen product is added does the fryer switch to the max power setting (20 kW) to recover the optimal frying temperature and to prevent the product from absorbing too much oil. The 12 timers are flexible and calculate the effective frying time to suit the selected oil temperature.
