This offer ends in:
The YXDT16 is a countertop pressure fryer that processes breaded chicken, bone-in portions, and other pressure-fried products in 16-litre oil batches. It operates at 3 kW on 220V supply and fits within a 570×440×520mm footprint. Takeaway kitchens, fast food counters, and mobile catering units use this unit for rapid batch production during continuous service.
Commercial Application
Pressure frying reduces cook time by sealing moisture inside the frying chamber while accelerating heat transfer. This unit handles 4-6 chicken portions per batch depending on portion size. Operators load product, seal the lid, set temperature and timer, then move to other prep tasks while the unit completes the cycle under pressure.
During peak service windows, the 16-litre capacity supports back-to-back batches without extended recovery periods. Oil temperature stabilises faster than atmospheric fryers due to the sealed cooking environment. Operators drain oil via the integrated valve for filtration or changeover between service periods.
Key Operational Advantages

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the YXDT16 operate on LPG or natural gas?
A: This model is electric only, operating at 3 kW on 220V supply. No gas conversion kit is available. Gas-fired pressure fryers require different valve and burner assemblies not compatible with this electric chassis.
Q: What are the internal basket dimensions for the 16-litre oil capacity?
A: The frying basket measures approximately 280×240×120mm. Actual usable depth depends on minimum oil level required for safe operation. Contact TurcoBazaar for exact basket dimensions if specific portion sizes need verification before purchase.
Q: Does this pressure fryer include a flame failure device or similar safety interlock?
A: As an electric unit, there is no flame failure device. The pressure lid includes a mechanical safety lock that prevents opening while internal pressure exceeds safe levels. Temperature controls shut off power if the thermostat detects overheating.
Q: Can the YXDT16 be installed in a food truck or mobile catering trailer?
A: The 21 kg weight and countertop footprint suit mobile installation if the vehicle electrical system supplies stable 220V at 3 kW. Secure mounting and vibration isolation are the operator's responsibility. Confirm local mobile catering electrical codes before installation.
Q: What is the recommended oil filtration and cleaning procedure for this unit?
A: Drain oil via the integrated valve into a filtration container while still warm but below flash point. Wipe interior surfaces with food-safe degreaser after each service day. Full disassembly for deep cleaning should follow manufacturer intervals in the supplied technical manual.
