  • Powerhouse Performance: The heat recovery is fantastic, keeping up easily during relentless peak periods.
  • Fixed Installation: As a natural gas unit, it needs a permanent gas line, limiting kitchen placement.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Codfather, a popular fish and  chip shop in Cardiff, was struggling with an old fryer that couldn't cope with their weekend rush, leading to long waits and  inconsistent quality.

"Our Friday nights were becoming stressful. The old machine just couldn't get back to temperature fast enough. Since installing the Blaze BF40N, the speed is incredible. We get orders out faster, the chips are consistently crisp, and  the team is much happier."

Robert Davies – Owner

The upgrade resulted in customer waiting times being reduced by over 30% during peak hours and  a noticeable improvement in food quality.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Installation must be completed by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer to ensure safety and  compliance.
  • Position the unit on a stable, level surface using the adjustable legs for perfect balance.
  • Ensure the fryer is placed under a suitable extraction canopy for adequate ventilation.
  • Before the first use, perform a 'boil out' with cleaning solution and then 'season' the tank with fresh oil.

Keeping It Going

  • Filter the cooking oil at the end of every day to remove food particles and  prolong its life.
  • Thoroughly clean the fryer baskets, hangers, and  any removable parts daily.
  • Perform a full 'boil out' clean of the fryer tank at least once a week to prevent carbon build-up.
  • Regularly check the gas hose for any signs of wear and  tear and  ensure connections remain secure.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Fryer

Not sure which fryer is the perfect match for your kitchen? Here are a few key things to consider.

Gas vs. Electric

Gas fryers, like this Blaze model, typically heat up and  recover temperature faster, making them ideal for high volume. Electric models can offer more placement flexibility.

Capacity Is Key

Consider your peak demand. A natural gas fryer 23 litre model is excellent for busy takeaways and  restaurants, ensuring you can cook large batches without overcrowding the tank.

Recovery Time Matters

This is how quickly the oil returns to cooking temperature after adding frozen food. A fast recovery, like this unit's, is crucial for crispy results and  quick service.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features that make the daily clean-down easier. A front-facing drain cock, a cold zone, and  smooth stainless steel surfaces are massive time-savers.

Safety First

Always choose a fryer with certified safety features. A flame failure device and  a high-limit thermostat are non-negotiable for any professional kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How quickly does this fryer heat up?

A: Thanks to its 90,000 BTU output, it has a very fast heat-up time, getting you ready for service much quicker than lower-powered models.

Q: Is it easy to drain the oil?

A: Yes, it features a front-mounted drain cock for simple and  safe drainage of used oil.

Q: What are Robertshaw gas valves?

A: They are high-quality, American-made components known throughout the industry for their reliability and  precise temperature control, ensuring consistent cooking results.

A: Absolutely. The twin baskets allow you to fry two separate products simultaneously, like chips in one and  onion rings in the other.

A: Yes, this model uses a standing pilot light system for instant ignition of the main burners when the thermostat calls for heat.

Q: What kind of gas connection does the Blaze BF40N need?

A: It requires a standard 3/4 inch BSP Natural Gas connection, which must be installed by a Gas Safe engineer.

Q: How much space does it need for ventilation?

A: You should always refer to the manufacturer's manual, but generally, ensure adequate clearance at the sides and  rear, and  operate it under a suitable commercial extraction hood.

How a 'Cold Zone' Saves You Money and  Improves Flavour

Ever wondered why some fried food tastes bitter? It's often because tiny crumbs and  bits of batter burn in the hot oil. The Blaze BF40N has a clever solution: a large 'cold zone' at the bottom of the tank.

Think of it like a safety net at the bottom of the fryer. This area is designed to stay much cooler than the main cooking zone above it. As food particles naturally fall off, they sink straight past the hot oil and  settle in this cooler area. Here, they don't get scorched and  won't release that nasty, burnt flavour into your oil. This simple design means your oil stays cleaner and  fresher for much longer, saving you money on frequent changes and  ensuring every single batch tastes fantastic.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fish & Chip Shops: The perfect double basket gas chip fryer to handle back-to-back orders of fish and  chips without temperature drops.
  • High-Volume Restaurants: A reliable workhorse for a busy commercial kitchen, frying sides, starters, and  main course components flawlessly.
  • Busy Takeaways & Ghost Kitchens: This heavy duty gas deep fat fryer is built for fast-paced environments that demand consistent output and  reliability.
  • Fried Chicken Outlets: The large 23 litre capacity and  rapid recovery time are ideal for producing perfectly crisp chicken batches.
