WeChef Commercial Electric Deep Fryer 11.7L 1500W Fryer w/Time Control and Oil Filtration Single Removable Basket Stainless Steel Countertop Fryer for Commercial Restaurant Use

The media could not be loaded. Possibly one of the best you'll come across in my opinion. Check out my video review for some visual details (I meant to say gallons instead of liters in the video by the way).This thing heats up reasonably fast and and it's pretty straight forward to assemble. The instructions are not very detailed but not totally useless. So far I've cooked a wide range of things french fries,fish, chicken etc and I must say it's very convenient.It has a wide and deep surface area so you can cook a lot of food at one time with that crispy consistency we all look for in fried food. It's all stainless steel (except for the cooking nobs) which makes easy clean up. The heating element, temp control and power cable are all attached to each other, which is also a plus for me.As far as oil goes, this thing will take quite a bit. A gallon or a gallon and a half should be enough to fry all of your foods, but know it can also take more. I have a pro tip on how to get the best bang out of your oil below this review.One minor gripe about this is that it can be a bit heavy for some and the machine doesn't have any handles to aid with moving it. Other than that and the test of time this could be one of the better fryers you'll own. Highly recommend so far.PRO TIP FOR OIL USAGE!!!This fryer can use up a lot of oil and that can be very expensive. So here's a sure explanation on how I clean my oil like new every time.CORN STARCH SLURRY:I know it sounds crazy but trust me this method really works. Follow these steps:You will need:2 big enough pots1 big enough container1 mixing bowl1 strainer or steel meshLarge heatproof spatula, whisk, or spoonStove top or heating element of some type.CornstarchWaterPossible measuring toolsEstimated time: 30mins1. Transfer your dirty oil to a big enough heat safe pot . If you don't have a big enough pot you can do this in increments. But this will take longer.2. Put the pot on your stove and set it to a medium low heat.3. In a mixing bowl combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water for every 1 cup of oil. In this particular case for a big fryer like this you would us 4 cups of water and 1 cup of cornstarch for every gallon of oil.4. Dump the slurry in the oil pot and take a big enough heat proof spatula, spoon or whisk and stir the oil consistently while increasing the temperature gradually every 2-3 minutes.5. Do not stop stirring! You want to keep this up until the slurry starts to turn into a GEL like consistency as the the oil gently starts to fry it. DON'T INCREASE THE HEAT ANY FURTHER THAN THIS WHEN THE OIL STARTS BOILING!6. Keep stirring the gel until you're able to see the bottom clearly or the oil is clear to your liking at this point this won't take long, DO NOT BURN IT.7. Turn off the heat and CAREFULLY strain the oil into an additional or heat resistant bowl with a strainer on top to separate the cornstarch gel.8. Discard the cornstarch gel, your pot may have some left over gel at the bottom of it. Use some dish detergent and water to soak it for a bit and it should come out very easily.9. Wait for your clean oil to cool and store it a big enough container to hold it or put it back in the fryer and cover it. You're oil may display a cloudy white substance but it will dissolve when you heat it up again.And there you have it! You can use this as many times as you would like. You may eventually have to buy some more oil as you will lose some of it doing this method ( cup/half cup) but that is still no where near much as you would spend on brand new oil.

Excellent commercial deep fryer Large capacity, efficient heating, and easy cleaning. Durable construction withstands heavy use. Precise temperature control ensures perfect fries every time! Highly recommend for restaurants and catering services

This fryer is the best thing I ever used. I took it out side and cooked our pike and walleye so fast. 12 to 15 pieces at a time and it was cooked to perfection. My only knock on this unit is the basket is great and large enough but the handel wiggles a bit when you dump out your food. Not a huge issue at all nut way handel is attached separately to the basket its just looser than I would personally like. Once you use it you figure it out. I love the grease tap to empty grease out. Very easy to clean and well worth the money. Use outside not in house well worth the purchase.

First off, I would like to think my opinion on this particular product should carry some weight as I am a CFESA (Commercial Food Equipment Service Association) Master +1 Technician. With that being said I am all about Safety, Precision of Cooking, and Food Quality. This fryer does come with 2 independent frying Vats. 2 Thermostats and 2 High Limits. Both thermostats were within +/- 5 degrees when Industry standard is roughly +/- 25degrees. So this is already performing above standards. Has 2 high limits which are important as a fail safe in case the thermostat runs wild. So they are usually set to about 425 degrees as most oils have a flash point of 450degrees and burst into flames. (By the way never put water on a grease fire unless you want a bigger fire) Either smother it with the lid and unplug it and it use baking soda. Because of the precise thermostat my food was cooked thoroughly and to perfection. I have already recommended it to friends and a few food trucks as this would be Ideal for them since it is counter top and only 115v. Also if you can still see the bottom of the fryer through the oil, it is still good. Cover it with the lids or remove the baskets and elements and wrap the “cooled down” oil with plastic wrap and store. Most restaurants use oil for 3-5 days before disposing or filtering.

The unit is a good looking unit / but didn’t have all 4 legs / it didn’t even have the weld for the bumper leg to screw into. The Amazon act like they cared but buy it being third party sell there not going to help you and all/ then the seller act like there going to help just so Amazon can see that they are helping / guest what they don’t do a lick of anything / write letters back and forthSo take a chance buying this product it’s all on you.

I bought this product to replace a 30 year old Lincat fryer. The heat up is a little slow but the basket size and fryer size is great for large batches of french fries. It takes about 3 quarts of Crisco to get up to the load line Then you are good to go for months of just french fries in nice clean grease. The only issue I have with it is the handle on the basket is very loose and sticks out so it’s hard to put away. I have to put it in my cabinet sideways. I’m going to try some wire to tighten the handle to the basket and that should solve the problem. Otherwise it’s a great fryer

Not a bad cooker but it does blow my fuses if I plug in same outlet
