The Waring WDF1300 is a 10 lb heavy-duty countertop deep fryer that takes pressure off the cook line during the rush. Rated at 1800 watts on 120V power, it can cook up to 10 lb of fries per hour and comes with two stainless steel wire baskets, making it a fit for smaller kitchens, bars and concession stands with limited counter space.
Cold-Zone Frying and Front Drain Design
The fry pot is designed with a cold zone below the heating element, where crumbs and breading settle away from the hottest oil. Keeping debris out of the heat slows oil breakdown, which extends oil life and keeps fried food tasting cleaner from batch to batch. Variable temperature control from 170 to 390 degrees F covers everything from blanching fries to crisping calamari and dumplings.
Cleanup is where this fryer earns its keep. The heating element and control box tilt back and lift out, giving open access to the pot, and a front-mounted stainless steel drain spigot lets staff drain oil without lifting or tipping a hot vessel. An oil drain strainer catches food particles as the oil drains, and an automatic thermal overload shutoff adds a layer of operator safety.
