Omcan CE-CN-0050-T3 16 In. Electric Floor Fryer, 50 lb Oil Capacity, Snap Action Thermostat, 208V/3Ph

SKU48554 BrandOmcan

The Omcan 48554 Electric Deep Fryer

The Omcan CE-CN-0050-T3 is a 50-pound oil capacity electric floor fryer designed for kitchens that need serious frying output without a gas line. At 15.26 kW on a 208V three-phase circuit drawing 43 amps, this fryer recovers heat fast enough to handle continuous batches of chicken, fish, fries, and breaded items during peak service. The frypot holds 50 pounds of oil, which gives you the thermal mass to drop large loads without a drastic temperature crash. This is a bare-wire unit that must be hardwired by a certified electrician.

Snap Action Thermostat with 1-1/4 Inch Drain Valve

A snap action thermostat provides reliable, mechanical temperature control that holds your setpoint without the drift you sometimes get from cheaper electronic controllers. When the oil hits target, the thermostat cuts power cleanly and brings it back the moment temperature drops. The 1-1/4 inch drain valve at the bottom of the frypot lets you drain oil quickly at the end of the day for filtering or disposal. A valve that size moves oil much faster than the 3/4 inch drains on smaller countertop fryers, which matters when you are trying to close down the kitchen efficiently.

Stainless Steel Construction with Adjustable Legs

The entire unit is built from stainless steel, including the frypot, housing, and adjustable legs. The legs let you level the fryer on uneven kitchen floors so oil sits flat in the pot and heats evenly. At 15.5 by 30.2 inches in footprint and 44.5 inches tall, it fits into a standard fryer battery line alongside other floor units. Net weight is 110.2 pounds, heavy enough to stay planted during use but still manageable for two people to position during installation.

    The Omcan 48554 Electric Deep Fryer

    About Electric Fryers

    Commercial electric fryers are built for kitchens that don't have a gas line or need more precise temperature control. They're easier to install than gas models and deliver steady results, batch after batch. If you're running a cafe, a small electric fryer covers the basics. For high-volume restaurants, go with a large floor model. Just make sure your electrical setup can handle the load.

    Common Types and Configurations

    • Electric countertop fryers: Compact units that sit on a prep counter. Good for smaller operations, tight spaces, or as a backup fryer station.
    • Electric deep fryers: Full size floor units with higher oil capacity. Built for high-volume kitchens where frying is a core part of the menu.
    • Commercial double deep fryers: Two separate vats in one unit. Lets you fry different items at the same time without flavor transfer.
    • Small commercial electric fryers: Compact countertop models for lower volume operations or kitchens with limited space.
    • Large electric deep fryers: High capacity floor units for restaurants and foodservice operations running continuous frying through multiple services.

    What to Look at Before You Buy

    • Oil capacity: Countertop fryers hold 15 to 30 pounds of oil. Floor models go from 40 up to 80 pounds or more. Choose based on your menu and how much you fry during peak hours.
    • Wattage and voltage: Most commercial electric fryers need 208V or 240V power. Standard outlets won't cut it. Check your kitchen's electrical panel before you buy.
    • Temperature control: Electric fryers give you tighter control than gas. If you want every batch the same, pick a model with digital controls.
    • Number of vats: Single vat fryers are fine for simple menus. Double vat models let you fry different foods at once without mixing flavors.
    • Recovery time: Higher wattage means the fryer bounces back faster between batches. This is key during rush periods.
    • Filtration system: Built-in filtration helps your oil last longer and cuts down on costs. Not every model has it, so check before you buy.
    • Installation: You won't need a gas line, but you do need a licensed electrician for the hookup. Make sure your panel and breakers can handle the fryer.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between a commercial electric fryer and a gas fryer?

    Electric fryers are easier to install because you don't need a gas line. They give you better temperature control and are the go-to in kitchens where gas isn't an option. Gas fryers heat up and recover faster, and usually cost less to run if you're frying all day. If you need precision or don't have gas, electric is the way to go.

    What size commercial electric fryer do I need?

    It comes down to your menu and how much you fry at once. For low volume or backup, a small countertop fryer is enough. If frying is a main part of your business, go with a large floor model for more oil and faster recovery. Plan on 1 to 1.5 pounds of oil for every pound of food you fry per hour.

    Are commercial electric fryers good for restaurants?

    Yes. Electric fryers are a solid choice if you don't have a gas line or need tight temperature control. They're easy to install and handle a wide range of menu items. You'll see them in smaller restaurants, cafes, and anywhere gas isn't practical.
