Commercial Deep Fryer with Basket 3400W 12.7QT - Powerful Countertop

In this review of the Commercial Deep Fryer with Basket 3400W 12.7QT, the bottom line is simple: this is a heavy-duty countertop fryer built for small restaurants, concession stands, and busy home cooks who need reliable, fast frying. The dual 1700W elements heat quickly and maintain oil temperature, so food cooks evenly, and the detachable tanks and dishwasher-safe parts make cleanup straightforward. For anyone preparing batches of fries, wings, or fried sandwiches, the fryer delivers consistent results and solid value for the price.

Key Features

• Dual 1700W Heating: Two 1700W elements provide rapid heating and help the fryer recover temperature quickly between batches for consistent results.
• Temperature Control: Adjustable thermostat from 140F to 392F (60C to 200C) lets users dial in the correct heat for everything from delicate batter to crisp fries.
• Large Capacity: The 12.7QT (per tank) detachable tanks and large baskets handle family gatherings or small-business service without constant refilling.
• Robust Construction: Thickened 0.6mm stainless steel body and tanks resist wear in a commercial or home kitchen and make the unit feel solid on the counter.
• Easy Cleanup and Use: Removable inserts are dishwasher safe (except the heating element) and the lid and basket hooks reduce splatter and mess when draining oil.

Who It's For

The fryer is best suited to small sandwich shops, delis, concession stands and homeowners who host frequent gatherings and need a compact, powerful deep fryer that can sit on a counter. Its quick heat-up and 1700W+1700W configuration make it practical for light commercial use and busy home kitchens alike.

Shoppers who need heavy continuous commercial use in a full-size restaurant line or who require built-in timers and digital controls should look elsewhere; this model is designed for light duty and simplicity rather than full restaurant automation.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Powerful dual heating elements speed cooking and reduce downtime between batches.
• Wide temperature range and guard plate help achieve even frying for a variety of foods.
• Stainless steel build and removable, dishwasher-safe parts simplify cleaning and maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can two fryers be used on the same outlet?
Because of the high power draw, using two units on the same plug may cause one or both to fail to reach proper performance; use separate plugs when running two at once.

Which parts are dishwasher safe?
Removable inserts and baskets are dishwasher safe, but the heating element must be cleaned by hand and kept dry.

Is this model suitable for commercial kitchens?
Yes for light commercial use like small shops and concession stands, but it is not intended as a full restaurant production line fryer.
