Expert Review and  Insights

The Modena EF82 is a cracking little unit for businesses needing flexibility without the footprint of a freestanding model. Its dual-tank setup is the star of the show, offering genuine operational advantages for anyone juggling different food types. It’s a straightforward, no-nonsense machine that does its job reliably – a solid choice for light-duty commercial use.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Top-Tier Flexibility: Independent controls are brilliant for cooking fish and  chips simultaneously without taste transfer.
  • Know Its Limits: It's a light-duty model, so it may struggle with relentless, back-to-back service.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Boat House, a popular seaside café in Whitby, wanted to add dedicated gluten-free fried options to their menu but were worried about cross-contamination in their single, large fryer.

"We were getting so many requests for gluten-free fish and  chips, but couldn't risk using our main fryer. The Modena EF82 was the perfect solution. It sits neatly on the counter, one side is now exclusively for GF, and  our customers are delighted. It’s been totally reliable."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The café now confidently serves a full gluten-free menu, resulting in a 25% increase in lunch trade from new and  returning customers.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always place the fryer on a flat, stable, and  non-combustible surface.
  • Ensure there's plenty of space around it for ventilation to prevent overheating.
  • Before first use, wipe the tanks and  baskets clean to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Plug each of the two plugs into separate, suitable 13A sockets. Avoid using extension cords.

Keeping It Going

  • Filter your oil daily. Let it cool, then strain it to remove crumbs which can burn and  taint the flavour.
  • Clean the removable tanks thoroughly after every few uses or once the oil is changed.
  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior daily with a damp cloth and  mild detergent.
  • Regularly check that the basket handles are secure and  the coating is intact.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Countertop Fryer

Feeling a bit stuck on what to choose? Here are a few pointers to help you find the perfect fryer for your space.

Capacity vs. Footprint

Consider how much you'll be frying versus your available counter space. A commercial twin tank electric fryer like this one offers high output without the bulk of a floor model.

Power Up

Check your kitchen's power supply. This model uses standard 13A plugs, making it incredibly easy to install. Higher-demand units might need to be hardwired by an electrician.

The Cleaning Factor

Look for features that make cleaning easier. Removable tanks, crumb trays, and  stainless steel bodies are your best friends for quick, hygienic end-of-day clean-downs.

Single or Twin Tank?

A twin tank is essential if you need to cook different food types simultaneously (e.g., vegan and  meat) or items that require different temperatures. It's the ultimate flexibility.

Temperature is Key

A wide, adjustable temperature range gives you control. It allows you to perfectly cook everything from delicate tempura to chunky chips, ensuring consistent quality every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much oil does each tank hold?

A: Each tank has a maximum oil capacity of 6 litres and  a minimum of 3.64 litres for safe operation.

Q: Can I cook different foods at once?

A: Absolutely! That's the main benefit. The two tanks are completely separate, so you can fry fish in one and  chips in the other with no flavour transfer.

Q: Is it easy to clean?

A: Yes, very. The fry tanks are fully removable, which makes draining old oil and  washing the tanks much simpler than with fixed-tank models.

Q: What is the maximum temperature?

A: The thermostatic controls allow you to set the temperature anywhere between 60°C and  190°C.

Q: Does this fryer come with baskets and  lids?

A: Yes, it comes complete with two fryer baskets and  two stainless steel night covers.

Q: Is this suitable for a busy fish and  chip shop?

A: This is a light-duty model, best suited for cafés, pubs, or as a secondary fryer. For a primary fryer in a high-volume fish and  chip shop, we'd recommend a heavy-duty floor model.

Q: What are the dimensions?

A: It measures 550mm wide, 416mm deep, and  310mm high, making it a great fit for most commercial countertops.

Q: Does it need special wiring?

A: No, the Modena EF82 is a plug-and-play model. It's fitted with two standard UK 13-amp plugs, one for each tank.

This isn't just a piece of metal that heats oil; it's a dependable partner built to help agile businesses grow, adapt, and  serve brilliant food with confidence.

Why Independent Controls Make All the Difference

Ever tried to cook delicate mozzarella sticks and  chunky chips in the same oil at the same time? It rarely ends well. This is where the independent thermostatic controls on this double tank countertop deep fat fryer come into their own. Think of it like having two separate, specialised pans on your hob instead of one giant pot. You can have one tank bubbling away at a high 180°C for perfectly crisp, golden chips, while the other holds a gentler 160°C for something more sensitive, like battered fish or doughnuts. This separation not only prevents flavour transfer (so no fishy-tasting chips!), but it also guarantees each item is cooked at its ideal temperature for superior texture and  taste. It’s the secret to a more versatile and  higher-quality menu.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cafés & Bistros: Easily add chips, onion rings, or daily specials without investing in a full-size floor fryer.
  • Mobile Caterers: The compact, lightweight design and  simple plug-in power make it perfect for food trucks and  event stalls.
  • Small Pubs & Bars: Ideal for launching or expanding a bar snack menu with minimal kitchen disruption and  cost.
  • Village Shops & Delis: A great way to introduce hot food-to-go options like fresh doughnuts or savoury snacks.
