The Omcan 47281 Countertop Deep Fryer
The Omcan CE-CN-0401 is a compact countertop deep fryer from the Elite Series with a 10-pound oil capacity. Running on 120V at 1.8 kW, it plugs into a standard 20-amp outlet with no special wiring needed, making it practical for food trucks, small restaurant kitchens, concession stands, and catering setups where you need a reliable fryer without dedicating permanent counter space to a full-size unit. The single basket design keeps things simple for operators who fry smaller batches of wings, fries, mozzarella sticks, or tempura vegetables throughout service.
Thermostat-Controlled Temperature from 175 to 390°F (79.4 to 390°C)
The adjustable thermostat lets you dial in temperatures anywhere from 175°F up to 390°F, which covers everything from low-temperature par-frying at the start of prep to high-heat flash frying during service. A thermostat control valve maintains your set temperature so the oil recovers quickly between batches rather than drifting low and producing greasy, soggy results. That recovery matters most during a rush when you are dropping basket after basket with only a minute or two between loads.
Stainless Steel Construction with Included Basket and Lid
The fryer body is stainless steel, which holds up to the grease splatter and cleaning chemicals that eat through painted surfaces within a few months. The single fryer basket (8.1" x 7.9" x 4.5") comes included, and a matching lid covers the pot when the fryer is not in use to keep dust and debris out of the oil overnight. At just 14.3 lb, the unit is light enough for one person to move it for cleaning or to reposition it on a prep table. Overall dimensions of 10.7" x 18.2" x 12.7" keep the footprint small enough to fit next to a griddle or on a narrow back counter without crowding your workspace.
