Benchstar IF3500S - 8L Single Tank Induction Fryer

Benchstar IF3500S - 8L Single Tank Induction Fryer

The Benchstar IF3500S is an 8 litre single-tank induction fryer for cafes, takeaways and restaurants that want tight oil temperature control on the bench. FED says the induction system holds temperature within about 2°C, compared with 10°C or more on a typical analogue fryer, and uses energy with around 90% efficiency. Touch controls, an LED display, a 0–120 minute timer and an oil drain keep it simple to run, and it needs a 15 A outlet. The IF3500S-AL is the auto basket lift version.
