- Can I fry two different foods at once?
- Yes. Each tank has its own heating element and controls, so you can fry fish in one and fries in the other, or run just one side for a small batch.
- How much oil does it hold?
- Each tank holds up to 9.1 quarts, so a full fill is about 18 quarts across both sides. You can use less oil for smaller batches.
- Does it need a special outlet?
- Each side draws 1700W, and running both at once draws about 3400W. That is more than a standard 15-amp kitchen circuit safely supplies, so check your breaker and avoid sharing the circuit.
- Is it easy to clean?
- The bowls are removable, which helps with draining and washing. The oil, however, has to be cooled and disposed of, and two tanks mean twice the work.
- Is it good for a home kitchen?
- For occasional large batches, yes. It is big and heavy, so it suits cooks with spare counter space and storage rather than small kitchens.
- How does it compare with a single-basket fryer?
- It offers much more capacity and the ability to keep oils separate, but it costs more in oil, space and power than a single-tank home fryer.
- Where is the Bed Bath & Beyond Commercial Deep Fryer Dual Tank Electric Countertop Fryer 2 x 9.1Qt cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $115.68, as of our latest check.
