Expert Review and  Insights

The Lincat DF618 is a real powerhouse in a compact, countertop form. It delivers the kind of heat-up and  recovery times you'd expect from a much larger, freestanding unit. Lincat's build quality is front and  centre here – it feels incredibly solid, and  the stainless steel finish is top-notch. It’s a smart choice for any kitchen needing to maximise its frying output without sacrificing floor space.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pros: Immense power from two 9kW elements means incredibly fast recovery times.
  • Cons: Requires professional hardwiring, so it isn't a simple plug-in-and-go unit.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Hungry Hiker's Rest, a popular café in Keswick, Lake District, needed to expand its menu and  speed up service for the tourist season. They replaced their ageing single-tank fryer with the Lincat DF618 twin basket electric chip fryer to cope with demand for both savoury and  sweet fried items.

"Having the two tanks has been brilliant. We can now offer gluten-free options with confidence in one tank, while the main one keeps the chips coming. Our lunch rush is so much smoother now, and  customers have noticed the speed."

Susan Clarke – Owner

The upgrade allowed them to increase their hot food output by over 50% during peak hours, significantly reducing customer waiting times.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Position the fryer on a flat, stable, and  non-combustible countertop.
  • Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit, as recommended by the manufacturer.
  • This unit must be installed and  hardwired by a qualified commercial catering electrician.
  • Before first use, perform a full clean and  boil-out to remove any manufacturing residues.

Keeping It Going

  • Filter the cooking oil at the end of every day to extend its life and  maintain food quality.
  • Wipe down all stainless steel surfaces daily with a soft cloth and  suitable cleaner.
  • Perform a full 'boil out' deep clean regularly (e.g., weekly) to prevent carbon build-up.
  • Never leave the fryer unattended when on, and  always use the supplied lids when not in use.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Fryer

Not sure which fryer is the perfect fit for your kitchen? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Power Source: Electric vs. Gas

Electric fryers like this Lincat model offer precise temperature control and  are often easier to install in kitchens without a gas line, providing consistent, reliable heating.

Capacity: Single vs. Twin Tank

A twin tank fryer is a must if you cook different types of food (e.g., fish and  chips) or need to offer a dedicated gluten-free or vegetarian option without cross-contamination.

Footprint: Countertop vs. Freestanding

Countertop models are brilliant for saving floor space in smaller kitchens or as a supplementary unit to a larger freestanding fryer during peak times.

Oil Management: Drains & Filtration

Look for features like front drain taps. They make the daily task of draining and  filtering oil much safer and  less messy, which saves time and  money in the long run.

Ease of Cleaning

Features like removable or hinging elements are vital. A fryer that's easy to clean is more likely to be kept clean, improving food quality and  equipment lifespan.

Easier Cleaning, Safer Kitchen: Unpacking the Hinging Element

Ever tried cleaning a fixed fryer element? It's a real pain. The 'Hinging Element with Safety Cut-Out' on this professional electric deep fat fryer is a clever bit of design that solves this problem. Think of it like lifting the bonnet on a car to get to the engine. The entire heating element assembly pivots up and  out of the way, giving you completely clear access to the oil tank.

Not only does this make it a doddle to get in there and  give it a proper scrub, but it’s also a key safety feature. The moment you lift the element, the power is automatically cut off. This means there's zero chance of it accidentally being switched on while you're cleaning, giving you and  your staff total peace of mind. It’s a simple feature that makes a massive difference to your daily cleaning routine and  overall kitchen safety.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Traditional Fish & Chip Shops

    Use one tank for perfectly battered fish and  the other for crispy chips, eliminating flavour contamination.

  • Bustling Pub Kitchens

    Effortlessly handle orders for scampi, onion rings, and  chips, even during the busiest weekend service.

  • Mobile Catering Vans

    A reliable and  powerful countertop unit that delivers consistent results at festivals and  outdoor events.

  • High-Street Takeaways

    Ideal for quickly serving up fried chicken, spring rolls, and  other popular takeaway favourites without delay.
