Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Ship Inn, a popular harbourside pub in Penzance, needed to replace its ageing fryer which was struggling to keep up during the busy tourist season, resulting in soggy chips and  long waits.

"The new Lincat fryer has been a revelation. Its recovery time is fantastic, meaning we can get orders out much faster, even when we're completely slammed on a Saturday night. The quality and  consistency are just brilliant."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The pub has successfully reduced customer wait times for food by an average of 15% during peak service.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • This unit is powerful and  must be installed and  hardwired by a qualified commercial electrician.
  • Position the fryer on a firm, level floor, ensuring it is stable before filling with oil.
  • Leave adequate space around the unit for ventilation to prevent overheating.
  • Before the very first use, be sure to 'season' the fryer tank according to the manufacturer's manual.

Keeping It Going

  • Filter your cooking oil at the end of each day to extend its life and  improve food quality.
  • When changing the oil, give the tank a thorough clean with a non-abrasive cleaner.
  • Regularly wipe down the stainless steel exterior to maintain its professional look and  hygiene.
  • Periodically check the hinged element for any stubborn carbon build-up and  clean as needed.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Fryer

Feeling a bit lost in the world of fryers? Let's break down what really matters when choosing the right one for your business.

Measure Your Space

This Lincat model has a slim 300mm width, making it perfect for tight spots. Always measure your available space before you buy!

Check Your Power Supply

A 12.0kW fryer needs a dedicated, hardwired electrical supply. Make sure your kitchen's electrics are up to the task before purchasing.

Capacity vs. Output

A 15-litre tank like this is ideal for steady, consistent demand. If you have huge rushes, you might consider a twin-tank model instead.

Prioritise Easy Cleaning

Features like a hinged element, drain valves, and  welded pans aren't just nice to have—they save you hours of cleaning time each week.

Consider Long-Term Costs

An accurate thermostat doesn't just cook better food; it prevents oil from scorching and  saves on energy bills over the fryer's lifetime.

Why Inboard Drainage is a Safer Bet for Your Kitchen

Ever worried about staff knocking a hot oil drain pipe in a busy kitchen? Lincat's inboard oil drainage system solves that problem. Instead of a valve or pipe sticking out from the front of the fryer, the entire drainage mechanism is contained within the unit's footprint. You simply place your waste oil bucket inside the cabinet underneath the tank and  open the valve.

Think of it like having plumbing hidden inside a wall versus exposed pipes. It's tidier, safer, and  completely removes the risk of someone tripping over or bumping into an external pipe, preventing potentially nasty hot oil spills. It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference to kitchen safety and  workflow.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Village Pubs & Bars: Ideal for consistently brilliant chips, onion rings, and  scampi to accompany a classic pint.
  • Busy Cafés & Bistros: A perfect secondary or main fryer for adding popular fried dishes to your lunch menu.
  • Small Takeaways: This free standing electric chip fryer offers superb performance for outlets with limited space.
  • Mobile Caterers: Its robust, freestanding design provides reliable, high-output frying for any event or food truck.
