The Lincat DF66 is a real gem for kitchens needing flexibility. It heats up quickly and  holds its temperature remarkably well, even during a frantic lunchtime rush. Its dual-tank setup is the star of the show, letting chefs be more creative and  efficient. It’s a solid, no-nonsense fryer that does exactly what it promises, day in and  day out.

  • Pros: The independent controls and  power supplies offer fantastic redundancy and  versatility.
  • Cons: At 600mm wide, it requires a decent amount of counter space.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Squid, a popular seaside takeaway in Newquay, Cornwall, was struggling to keep up with demand during the summer season. Their single fryer was a constant bottleneck, leading to longer queues and  missed sales. They upgraded to the Lincat DF66 twin tank electric fryer to double their output.

"Having two tanks running independently has been brilliant. We can have the chips on the go constantly in one, and  use the other for fish, scampi, and  sausages. Our service speed has improved dramatically, and  the customers are much happier."

Robert Hughes – Owner, The Salty Squid

After installation, The Salty Squid was able to reduce average customer waiting times by 5 minutes during peak hours, increasing their lunchtime capacity by over 30%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure you have two separate, standard 13-amp sockets available. Avoid using extension leads.
  • Place the unit on a stable, level, and  non-combustible countertop with good ventilation around it.
  • Before first use, wash the tanks, baskets, and  lids with warm, soapy water and  dry thoroughly.
  • Fill each tank with oil to the marked level before switching the unit on. Never dry-fire the elements.

Keeping It Going

  • Filter the oil daily to extend its life and  maintain the quality of your fried food.
  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior daily with a damp cloth and  a food-safe cleaner.
  • When draining, ensure the oil has cooled to a safe temperature before opening the front taps.
  • Perform a deep clean of the tanks weekly, taking advantage of the hinging element for easy access.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Fryer

Not sure which fryer is the perfect fit for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider to make sure you get it right.

Capacity vs. Footprint

Consider your menu and  peak demand. A twin tank model like this offers great versatility but needs more counter space than a single-tank unit. Measure up first!

Power Supply

This Lincat DF66 fryer uses two standard 13-amp plugs, making it incredibly easy to install. Always check if your kitchen has the right sockets available for the model you choose.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features that make life easier. Front drain taps and  hinging or removable elements are a massive help for daily maintenance and  hygiene.

Temperature Control & Recovery

A good fryer recovers temperature quickly after frozen food is added. A powerful element and  responsive thermostat are key to producing consistently crispy, non-greasy food.

Build Quality

Your fryer will work hard. A robust stainless steel body (like the grade 304 used here) will resist rust, dents, and  the general wear and  tear of a commercial kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I operate just one tank at a time?

A: Yes, absolutely. Each tank has its own independent power supply and  temperature control, so you can use one while the other is off, saving energy during quieter periods.

Q: How long does it take to heat up?

A: From a cold start, it typically takes around 10-15 minutes to reach the optimal frying temperature, depending on the oil and  ambient temperature.

Q: What is the maximum chip output per hour?

A: Each tank can produce approximately 12kg of chips per hour (from chilled), giving you a combined total output of around 24kg per hour.

Q: Is the electric double tank fryer easy to clean?

A: Yes, it's designed for easy cleaning. The front drain taps allow for safe oil removal, and  the hinging element provides full access to the tank interior.

Q: What kind of oil should I use?

A: You can use any high-quality commercial cooking oil, such as vegetable, rapeseed, or sunflower oil. Solid fats are not recommended.

Q: Do the baskets come with the fryer?

A: Yes, the Lincat DF66 comes supplied with two heavy-duty spun wire baskets, two batter plates, and  two stainless steel lids as standard.

Q: Can this be used for wet batter foods?

A: Yes, the batter plates supplied are designed to sit at the bottom of the tank to catch any drips and  make cleaning up after frying wet-battered items much easier.

Q: What does the fail-safe temperature cut-out do?

A: It's a safety feature that automatically shuts off the heating element if the oil temperature exceeds a safe limit, preventing fires and  protecting the unit.

Why the Hinging Element is a Lifesaver

Ever tried to properly clean a fixed-element fryer? It's a nightmare. The Lincat DF66 solves this with a clever hinging element. Think of it like lifting the bonnet of your car to get to the engine. The whole heating element block lifts up and  out of the way, giving you completely clear access to the bottom of the tank. This means no more awkward scrubbing around wires and  components. Not only does this make your daily clean-down quicker and  more thorough (which means better-tasting oil and  food), but it also includes a safety cut-out that instantly kills the power when the element is lifted. It's a simple, brilliant feature that saves time and  keeps your team safe.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Cafes & Bistros

    Perfect for expanding your hot food menu with chips, onion rings, and  more without flavour contamination.
