Description
Prevent cross-contamination, speed up ticket times, and scale your kitchen’s frying capacity with the Infernus INEF-172L Commercial 17L Twin Tank Electric Countertop Fryer. Engineered specifically for commercial kitchens where space and flexibility are critical—including cafés, fish and chip shops, burger bars, street food gazebos, and mobile catering trailers—this 6kW countertop workhorse delivers dual independent frying tanks with the plug-and-play simplicity of standard 13-amp electrics.
Commercial 17L Twin Tank Electric Fryer Features & Performance
- Dual Independent Frying Tanks (Zero Flavour Transfer): Frying fish, onion rings, or allergen-sensitive gluten-free items in the same oil as chips ruins food quality. The INEF-172L solves this with two isolated 17-litre capacity wells. Kitchen staff can fry chips in one tank while dedicating the second tank to battered fish, chicken tenders, or vegetarian items without flavour or aroma transfer.
- Dual 13-Amp Plug & Play Convenience (6kW Total): Operating on two independent 3kW heating elements, the unit is fitted with two separate UK standard 13-amp 3-pin plugs. It requires no three-phase supplies or electrician hardwiring—simply plug the two cords into separate 13A wall outlets or ring circuits and begin cooking. During quiet mid-afternoon hours, operators can turn off one tank completely to slash electricity costs.
- Independent Thermostatic Control (50°C to 190°C): Each frying well is governed by its own heavy-duty rotary thermostat dial with dedicated neon heating indicator lights. Precise temperature regulation between 50°C and 190°C gives chefs complete control over crispness and oil absorption, allowing one tank to hold at blanching temperatures while the other sits ready at 190°C for fast finishing.
- Lift-Out Elements & Removable Oil Tanks for Easy Cleaning: Traditional countertop fryers with fixed elements are notorious for difficult cleaning. The INEF-172L features hinged, lift-up heating element heads and fully removable stainless steel inner oil wells. Staff can lift the entire oil well out of the chassis to pour used oil straight into filtering containers and carry the well directly to the potwash sink.
- High-Limit Safety Cut-Out & Crumb Protection: Fitted with built-in high-limit safety cut-out thermostats on each element head that immediately isolate power if oil levels drop or temperatures spike. Stainless steel crumb wire grids sit above the bottom of each tank to keep large food particles off the heating elements, protecting oil clarity and preventing scorched tastes.
- Durable Commercial Stainless Steel Chassis: Built from heavy-duty food-grade stainless steel with non-slip rubber feet to keep the unit firmly anchored on stainless steel tables. Supplied complete with two nickel-plated wire baskets featuring heat-resistant insulated handles, rear basket support draining hangers, and two stainless steel night covers.

Electrical Connection Advice: Because this unit pulls 6kW total across both tanks, each 13A plug should be connected to a separate wall socket or ring circuit to prevent tripping domestic or light commercial circuit breakers during simultaneous high-heat recovery.
