The Modena FT11 is a brilliant bit of kit for any high-turnover spot. Its best feature is the dual plug design; it gives you the power of a hardwired unit but the flexibility of a standard appliance. It’s a solid, no-nonsense fryer that gets the job done reliably, making it a top choice for chippies and  takeaways where consistency is king.

  • Con: For the absolute busiest seaside chippy, the 9.8L max oil capacity might feel tight.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Dog, a bustling harbourside takeaway in Padstow, Cornwall, needed to upgrade their single-tank fryer which was causing bottlenecks during the tourist season. They chose the Modena FT11 double tank commercial fryer to cope with demand for both classic fish and  chips and  their popular gluten-free options.

"Being able to run two separate fryers for our regular and  gluten-free batter has been fantastic. No more cross-contamination worries and  the speed is incredible. Our lunch rush is so much smoother now."

Ben Carter – Owner, The Salty Dog

The new setup has allowed them to reduce customer waiting times by an average of 40% during peak summer lunchtimes.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a stable, level, and  non-combustible countertop with at least 15cm of clearance around it for ventilation.
  • Make sure you have access to two separate 13-amp plug sockets. Avoid using extension leads.
  • Before first use, wash the tanks and  baskets with warm, soapy water, and then 'season' the tanks by heating a full tank of oil to 170°C for 10 minutes.
  • Always fill the tank with oil to at least the minimum level before switching the unit on.

Keeping It Going

  • Filter your oil at the end of each day to extend its life and  ensure better-tasting food.
  • To clean, allow the oil to cool completely before using the drain taps to empty the tanks safely.
  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior and  control panel with a damp cloth and  mild detergent. Avoid abrasive scourers.
  • Regularly check that the drain taps are fully closed and not leaking before filling with fresh oil.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Fryer

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

Capacity vs. Output

Think about how many portions you serve on your busiest day. Match the fryer's oil capacity and  chip output (kg/hr) to your peak demand to avoid bottlenecks.

Power Source

Electric fryers offer precise temperature control, while gas models often have faster recovery times. Check your kitchen's utility connections before you decide.

Footprint & Location

Do you have space for a large freestanding unit, or is a countertop deep fat fryer a better fit? Ensure you have adequate overhead ventilation.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features like front drain taps and  removable elements. A fryer that's easy to clean is one that will be looked after properly, ensuring food safety.

Plug or Hardwire?

Check the power requirements. A plug-in model like the Modena FT11 is simple to install, but more powerful units may need specialist hardwiring by an electrician.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

A: Yes, absolutely. Each tank has its own independent power supply and  thermostatic control, so you can fry chips at 190°C in one and  onion rings at 170°C in the other.

Q: Do I need a special electrical setup to run this fryer?

A: No, you don't. The Modena FT11 is designed to run off two standard 13-amp sockets, so you won't need to hire an electrician for a special hardwired installation.

Q: How do the drain taps work for changing the oil?

A: Once the oil has completely cooled, you can place a suitable container underneath the spout, open the tap, and  let the old oil drain out safely and  with minimal mess.

Q: What is the heat-up time from cold?

A: Heat-up times can vary, but you can typically expect the oil to reach a standard frying temperature of 180°C in around 15-20 minutes from a cold start.

Q: What are the night covers used for?

A: The included stainless steel night covers fit over the tanks when the fryer is not in use. This helps to protect the oil from dust and  debris overnight, keeping it cleaner for longer.

Q: How often should I filter or change the cooking oil?

A: For best results and  food quality, it's recommended to filter the oil daily. The oil should be completely replaced depending on usage, but a good sign is when it starts to smoke, darken, or foam.

Q: Is the construction entirely stainless steel?

A: Yes, the main body, tanks, and  night covers are all made from sturdy, easy-to-clean stainless steel for durability and  hygiene.

Q: Can the frying baskets go in the dishwasher?

A: While the baskets are robust, we recommend washing them by hand with warm, soapy water to prolong the life of the heat-resistant handle coatings.

What Customers Are Saying

Absolutely brilliant piece of kit. The separate controls are a lifesaver for our menu, and  the drain taps make cleaning so much less of a chore. Highly recommend.

Sam Jones – Takeaway Owner, Manchester

A very solid and  powerful fryer. Heats up quickly and  maintains temperature well. It's a bit heavy, but that just shows how well-built it is. The twin plug system is genius.

Maria Evans – Pub Manager, York

Perfect for our little cafe. We just plugged it in and  were ready to go. Having the ability to offer proper fried goods has really boosted our lunch sales.

Tom Williams – Cafe Owner, Bristol

The Modena FT11: Built for the Daily Grind

Beyond the impressive spec sheet, the real value of the Modena FT11 electric fryer lies in its straightforward, dependable nature. Modena has built its reputation on creating equipment that's a workhorse, not a show pony. This fryer is engineered for the relentless pace of a commercial kitchen, where reliability is more valuable than complex digital features that can fail. The simple, robust analogue controls and  heavy-duty stainless steel construction mean fewer things to go wrong, translating to less downtime and  fewer costly repair bills over the unit's lifespan. Investing in the FT11 is a smart operational choice; it's a tool designed to consistently produce great food, day after day, without fuss. The smart twin-plug design is a perfect example of this practical philosophy, delivering significant power while saving you the immediate expense and  hassle of professional installation. It’s a purchase that pays for itself through sheer, unwavering dependability.

Why Two Plugs Are Better Than One: A Power Explanation

Ever wondered why this powerful fryer uses two standard 13-amp plugs instead of one giant one? It's actually a clever design feature that saves you money and  hassle. High-power appliances like this, with 6kW of total power, usually need to be 'hardwired' directly into your mains by a qualified electrician, which can be costly and  disruptive.

The Modena FT11 cleverly splits its power requirement across two separate 3kW heating elements, each with its own standard plug. Think of it like using two powerful kettles on separate sockets—you get all the power you need without having to rewire your kitchen. This 'plug-and-play' approach means you can get your commercial twin tank electric fryer set up and  running in minutes, using the standard sockets you already have.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fish & Chip Shops: The classic choice for perfectly crisping up fish and  chips in separate, dedicated tanks.
  • Busy Pubs & Bars: Ideal for a varied bar snacks menu of scampi, onion rings, and  loaded fries.
  • Mobile Caterers & Food Trucks: Easy to transport and  plugs into standard sockets at any event, festival, or market.
  • Takeaway Restaurants: Perfect for offering fried chicken, spring rolls, and  samosas alongside other menu items.
