Why this free standing fryer earns its place
The Lincat Opus 800 Free Standing Natural Gas Fryer OG8111 DM538-N is built for the pace of a commercial kitchen that needs volume without losing control. With two tanks, two baskets and a 28 litre capacity, it gives you space to keep service moving while handling different fried items separately.
Its stainless steel build and silver finish suit hard-working back-of-house use, while the free standing format gives it a substantial but practical footprint for a dedicated frying station. The unit measures 1020 x 600 x 800 mm and weighs 131.7 kg, so it is a serious piece of kit rather than a light countertop option.
Performance is aimed at service work, with a temperature range from +90 to +190 °C and an output of 64 kg/hr. It runs on natural gas, is listed at 230V with a 2000 W rated input, and carries a 2 years parts and labour warranty.
