Expert Review and  Insights

The Modena FC32 is a classic example of function over fuss. It’s a solid, reliable unit that does exactly what you need it to, day in, day out. For a traditional chippy or a busy pub, the ability to separate fish and  chips is non-negotiable, and  this machine handles that task brilliantly. It's a proper workhorse.

Liam Hudson – Fish & Chips Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The separate plugs offer brilliant redundancy; if one circuit trips, you're not completely down.
  • Con: It requires two separate wall sockets, which could be a challenge in older, smaller kitchens.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Salty Cod," a popular seaside takeaway in Whitby, North Yorkshire, found their old single-tank fryer was causing long queues during the summer tourist season. It was slow to recover heat, leading to inconsistent results and  frustrating delays.

"This Modena FC32 twin fryer is a proper workhorse. We can fly through orders on a busy Friday night, and  the chips are consistently brilliant. The separate tanks for fish and  gluten-free options are a blessing for our service."

David Chen – Owner, The Salty Cod

After installing the Modena FC32, the team was able to cut customer wait times by an estimated 30% during peak hours, significantly boosting turnover and  customer satisfaction.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Position the fryer on a flat, stable, and  non-combustible surface.
  • Ensure you have two separate 13-amp sockets within easy reach of the power cords.
  • Before the first use, thoroughly wash the tanks and  baskets with warm, soapy water and  rinse well.
  • Check that the drain taps are fully closed before filling with oil to the marked level.

Keeping It Going

  • Filter your oil at the end of each day to prolong its life and  ensure better-tasting food.
  • Always allow the oil to cool completely before using the front drain taps to empty the tanks.
  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior daily with a damp cloth and  mild detergent.
  • Periodically inspect the power cords and  plugs for any signs of wear or damage.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Electric Fryer

Not sure which fryer is the perfect fit for your kitchen? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Capacity vs. Output

Consider how many portions you serve per hour. A commercial 2x16 litre fryer like this is ideal for high-volume sites that can't afford delays.

Power Supply

Always check your kitchen’s power capabilities. This model's dual 13A plugs offer plug-and-play convenience, avoiding the need for an electrician.

Single or Twin Tank?

If you fry different food types (e.g., savoury and  sweet, or for specific dietary needs), a twin tank is essential to prevent flavour transfer.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features like front-facing drain taps and  a simple design. They make the daily clean-down much faster, safer, and  less of a chore.

Footprint and  Storage

Measure your available space! This unit cleverly includes a storage cabinet in its base, helping you make the most of your kitchen layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use both tanks at the same time on different temperatures?

A: Yes, absolutely. Each tank has its own independent power cord, thermostat, and  controls, so you can run them simultaneously at different temperatures.

Q: What is the maximum temperature this fryer can reach?

A: This fryer has a temperature range of 60°C to 190°C, which is the ideal range for achieving perfectly crispy results on a wide variety of foods.

Q: Do I need a special power supply for this electric twin basket fryer?

A: No, the Modena FC32 twin fryer comes fitted with two standard UK 13-amp plugs. You just need two separate, standard wall sockets to plug it into.

Q: How do I drain the used oil?

A: It's simple and  safe. Once the oil has cooled down, you can open the easy-to-use drain taps located on the front of the unit to empty each tank.

Q: Is this fryer suitable for a mobile catering van?

A: It can be. As long as your generator or power supply can comfortably support two 3kW appliances running at the same time, its plug-in design is very convenient.

Q: What's the recommended amount of oil to use per tank?

A: For the best frying performance, you should fill the oil between the minimum mark (8.4 Litres) and  the maximum mark (11.5 Litres) inside each tank.

Q: How quickly does the oil heat up?

A: Thanks to the powerful 3kW element in each tank, the oil heats up quickly from cold, and  temperature recovery time between batches is excellent, which helps keep service moving.

Q: Is the storage cabinet underneath refrigerated?

A: No, the cabinet is a simple, ambient storage space, perfect for keeping jugs of oil, utensils, or cleaning supplies neatly stored away.

Why Dual Tanks Mean Double the Versatility

Wondering why two smaller tanks are better than one giant one? Think of it like cooking on your hob. You wouldn't boil potatoes in the same pot you're using to make a delicate custard sauce, right? The same logic applies here. The Modena FC32’s independent twin tanks let you cook entirely different foods without any flavour contamination. You can have fish sizzling away in one tank and  chips crisping up in the other, and  neither will taste of the other. This is crucial for food quality and  essential if you're catering to dietary needs like gluten-free. It also acts as a backup; if one side needs cleaning or has an issue, your kitchen isn't at a complete standstill. It's simple, practical, and  a smarter way to fry.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fish & Chip Shops: Perfectly separate fish and  chips, ensuring pure flavour and  ultimate crispiness for your customers.
  • Busy Pubs & Restaurants: Effortlessly handle sides like onion rings and  mains like scampi, even during the busiest service periods.
  • Event Caterers & Food Trucks: A robust, high-output restaurant double tank fryer that's simple to set up anywhere you have power.
  • Cafés & Bistros: Easily add popular fried items to your menu, like halloumi fries or doughnuts, without a full kitchen refit.
