THE WORKING VIEW

Why this free standing fryer earns its place

The Buffalo fryer is a workhorse for kitchens where frying never stops. Three vertical cast iron burners run on natural gas (with an LPG conversion kit included), delivering the heat recovery speed that matters when you're mid-service: drop a fresh basket of chips, and the temperature bounces back fast instead of limping along. Two baskets let you cycle — one batch frying, one draining, one cooling — which is how commercial kitchens keep throughput moving without bottlenecks.

Temperature control is manual but precise. An adjustable thermostat holds the oil between 93 °C and 204 °C, letting you switch from low-temperature deep poaching (fish, shellfish) to high-heat rapid frying (chips, battered fish). The built-in limiter prevents the oil overheating, which protects both your equipment and your safety record. A 23-litre tank is the volume you need for consistent cooking — too small and the oil temperature drops sharply each basket; too large and you're carrying dead stock.

Oil longevity is built into the design. The tank has a large cold zone at the bottom where food particles settle instead of circulating and scorching — burned particles foul the oil and shorten its lifespan. With the cold zone, your oil lasts longer and tastes better, directly protecting your food cost and your reputation. Cleaning is straightforward: the large stainless steel tank and built-in drain make oil changes quick, and the stainless finish wipes clean. At 1182 mm tall, 394 mm wide, and 767 mm deep, the Buffalo fits most kitchen prep spaces.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Questions, answered straight

Two separate baskets let you run two independent frys at once, or rotate them to keep one batch hot, one cooling, one prepped — essential in kitchens that never stop. Without dual baskets, you'd have to finish one batch, wait for oil recovery, and start the next, which costs time and sales.

The thermostat ranges from 93 °C to 204 °C. That's low enough for gentle poaching (deli items, fish) and hot enough for rapid, high-colour frying (chips, battered goods). Most operators stay between 170–190 °C for daily frying.

The cold zone at the bottom of the tank is key — food particles sink instead of circulating and burning, which extends oil life considerably. In a busy takeaway frying 20–30 baskets a day, you'd expect 2–3 weeks per oil change instead of one. Exact lifespan depends on food type and service volume.

Natural gas only, standard for the UK. The fryer includes an LPG conversion kit if you need propane instead — contact Craven Cooling on 01792 732702 for installation support if you're switching fuels.

The three cast iron burners keep recovery time short — critical for throughput during a dinner rush. Exact recovery time depends on oil temperature and starting volume, but the design prioritizes speed over slow warm-up.

Two years' parts and labour covers manufacturing faults. For gas safety checks (recommended annually on any gas cooking equipment) or breakdowns, contact Craven Cooling on 01792 732702 — our team arranges swift repair and can set up on-site cover if your operation is high-risk.
