Expert Review and  Insights

The Lincat DF36 is a real favourite for a reason. It packs serious power into a small footprint, and  its heat recovery is surprisingly quick for a unit of this size. It feels solid, the controls are responsive, and  the little design touches like the hinging element show that Lincat really understands what goes on in a busy kitchen. It’s a smart investment for any smaller setup.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The rapid heat-up is fantastic for getting service started quickly.
  • Con: Its 9-litre tank is best suited for sides, not high-volume mains.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Corner Nook," a popular seaside café in Whitby, needed to upgrade its ageing fryer to cope with the summer tourist rush. Their old machine was slow to heat up and  couldn't keep pace, leading to soggy chips and  long waits.

"The Lincat DF36 has been a revelation. It heats up in minutes and  just keeps on going. Our chips have never been better, and  customers have noticed the difference in quality and  speed. It just works, every single day."

Robert Davies – Owner, The Corner Nook

The new fryer allowed them to increase their fried food output by over 30% during peak hours, significantly reducing customer waiting times.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the fryer is placed on a stable, level, and  non-combustible countertop.
  • This 6.0kW unit must be hardwired into a suitable single-phase supply by a qualified electrician.
  • Allow for adequate ventilation around the unit, keeping it clear of walls and  other equipment.
  • Before first use, clean the tank thoroughly and  fill with fresh oil to the indicated level.

Keeping It Going

  • Filter the cooking oil daily to extend its life and  maintain food quality.
  • Perform a full 'boil out' deep clean weekly using a commercial fryer cleaner.
  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior daily with a soft cloth and  food-safe cleaner.
  • Never use abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals on the tank or exterior.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Countertop Fryer

Finding it tricky to pick the perfect fryer? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Capacity vs. Footprint

Think about what you'll be frying. A 9-litre single basket electric fryer is great for sides, but if chips are your main event, you might need a larger twin-tank model.

Power & Recovery Time

A higher kW rating, like this model's 6.0kW, means the oil reheats faster after you drop in frozen food, giving you crispier results and  higher output.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features like front drain taps and  accessible tanks. A fryer that's easy to clean is one that gets cleaned properly, improving food taste and  safety.

Safety Features

Non-negotiables include thermostatic controls to maintain accurate temperatures and  a high-limit cut-out to prevent the oil from dangerously overheating.

Build Quality

A robust stainless steel construction, especially grade 304, will withstand the knocks of a busy kitchen and  resist corrosion for years to come.
