This 16-litre electric pressure fryer processes chicken, fish, and battered products at temperatures from 50°C to 200°C. The 3kW heating element operates on 220V single-phase power. Pressure frying reduces cook time by approximately 30% compared to atmospheric frying while retaining moisture in protein-based menu items.
Commercial Application
Takeaway kitchens and fast food operations use pressure fryers to maintain batch output during peak hours. The sealed lid increases internal pressure, which raises the boiling point of oil and transfers heat more efficiently into breaded or battered items. This method shortens frying cycles without sacrificing core temperature in chicken pieces or bone-in portions.
A 16-litre oil bath accommodates 2–3 kg of product per cycle depending on portion size. The integrated timer runs up to 30 minutes, allowing staff to load the basket, seal the lid, and attend to other prep tasks. Temperature recovery between cycles takes 3–4 minutes at full load, which determines overall hourly throughput in multi-order environments.
Key Operational Advantages

Construction & Build Quality
The fryer body and lid are constructed from 304-grade stainless steel. The heating element sits below the oil tank and is protected by a thermal cutoff switch that interrupts power if internal temperature exceeds the set threshold. The oil drain valve is fitted with a protective guard to prevent accidental discharge during service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the oil capacity and what size frying basket does it use?
A: The tank holds 16 litres of oil. Basket dimensions are determined by the internal tank geometry, typically 28–32 cm wide by 22–26 cm deep. Confirm exact basket size with TurcoBazaar before ordering if specific portion counts are required.
Q: How does the thermal overload protection work?
A: A thermal cutoff switch monitors the heating element temperature. If the element exceeds the safe threshold due to low oil level or electrical fault, the switch interrupts power automatically. The fryer must cool before the switch can be manually reset.
Q: Can this fryer be installed in a food truck or mobile catering unit?
A: Yes, provided the vehicle electrical system supplies stable 220V AC power at 3 kW capacity. The unit weighs 18 kg and requires secure mounting to prevent movement during transport. Ventilation must meet local health and safety regulations for enclosed cooking spaces.
Q: What is the recommended oil filtration and cleaning procedure?
A: Filter oil daily through a fine mesh or paper filter system to remove food particles. Drain the tank via the lower valve when oil temperature drops below 60°C. Clean the stainless steel interior with non-abrasive detergent and rinse thoroughly before refilling.
Q: How long does the fryer take to heat 16 litres of fresh oil to 180°C?
A: Initial heat-up from ambient temperature takes approximately 18–22 minutes depending on starting oil temperature and kitchen environment. Recovery time between batches at full load is 3–4 minutes to return to set temperature.
