What to Consider Before Buying a Built-In Deep Fryer?
Before buying a built-in deep fryer, you must consider:
- Available Space and Layout: Commercial drop-in deep fryers require a properly prepared counter to fit seamlessly into your space. They measure around 23 inches (58.42 cm) in length and 14 inches (35.56 cm) in width, and require about 9 inches (22.86 cm) in depth to fit perfectly on your counter.
- Production Volume: The cooking volume of built-in deep fryers varies in accordance with their oil capacity. You can find small units with 0.79 gallons (3-liter) oil wells, while 2.64 gallons (10-liter) models offer higher production.
- Ease of Cleaning: Since drop-in deep fryers are located inside your counter, a practical design to facilitate cleaning is crucial.
