It’s a compact powerhouse that heats up quickly and  maintains its temperature brilliantly, which is the secret to perfect batter.

Liam Hudson – Fish & Chips Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pros: The batter plate is a huge plus for oil longevity and  taste.
  • Cons: Its 5-litre capacity might struggle during the busiest Friday night rushes.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Jolly Sailor, a popular harbourside pub in Penzance, needed a reliable frying solution for their lunchtime menu that wouldn't overwhelm their small kitchen. Their old unit was slow to heat and  a nightmare to clean, causing delays during busy services.

"The Lincat LFF is fantastic. It’s ready to go in no time and  the clean-up at the end of the day is so much quicker. Our beer-battered fish has never been more popular!"

Robert Davies – Head Chef

By switching, the pub reduced its oil filtering and  cleaning time by 25 minutes a day, allowing staff to focus on service.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable, and  non-combustible countertop for the unit.
  • Ensure there's at least 100mm of clear space around the fryer for proper ventilation.
  • Before first use, give the tank and  baskets a good wash with warm, soapy water.
  • Simply plug it into a standard 13-amp socket – there's no complex wiring needed.

Keeping It Going

  • Filter the oil at the end of every day to remove food particles.
  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior daily with a damp cloth and  mild detergent.
  • Perform a 'boil out' with a specialised cleaning solution weekly to remove stubborn carbon build-up.
  • Never submerge the control head or plug in water; simply wipe it clean.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Countertop Fryer

Not sure if this is the perfect fit? Here are a few things to consider when choosing a commercial electric fish fryer countertop model.

Output vs. Footprint

Consider your peak demand. A compact model like this is great for saving space, but if you have constant long queues, you might need a larger twin-tank model.

Power Supply

A 'plug and  play' 13-amp fryer offers incredible flexibility. For more powerful units, check if your kitchen has the required single-phase or 3-phase hardwired supply.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for models with removable elements and  tanks. It makes a huge difference to daily cleaning and  hygiene, saving you valuable time and  effort.

Safety First

A high-limit thermostat is a non-negotiable safety feature. It acts as a fail-safe, cutting power if the main thermostat fails to prevent dangerous oil fires.

Oil Longevity

Features like a cool zone or a batter plate might seem small, but they can significantly extend the life of your cooking oil, saving you a surprising amount of money over time.

Why a Batter Plate Means Better-Tasting Food

Ever wondered how to keep your frying oil cleaner for longer? The secret is the batter plate included with this Lincat fryer. Think of it as a protective mesh shelf that sits just above the heating elements. When you're frying, small bits of batter and  food naturally break off and  sink. Without a batter plate, they fall directly onto the hot elements and  burn, which degrades your oil quality, darkens its colour, and  can give your food a bitter, burnt taste. The batter plate catches this debris in a cooler zone at the bottom of the tank, preventing it from burning. This simple but clever feature means your oil stays fresher for longer, saving you money and  ensuring every single portion tastes as clean and  delicious as the first.

    An ideal secondary fryer for gluten-free options or specific items without taking up valuable floor space.
