Benchstar EF-TE Benchtop Electric Doughnut Fryer

Benchstar EF-TE Benchtop Electric Doughnut Fryer

The Benchstar EF-TE is a compact benchtop electric doughnut fryer purpose-built for cafés, bakeries, catering kitchens and food service venues that need reliable, consistent deep frying without sacrificing counter space. With an 11-litre stainless steel oil tank, a thermostat range of 30–190°C and a 3.0 kW heating element running on a standard 15A outlet, it delivers rapid heat-up and steady temperature recovery to keep output moving during busy service periods.

Constructed from stainless steel throughout, the EF-TE is designed with operator safety and ease of maintenance firmly in mind. Multiple safety features include a hi-limit switch, a micro-switch that automatically cuts power to the heating element when it is lifted, and a wiring bottom grid that protects the element from food debris. The dual-purpose stainless steel lid doubles as a draining tray during frying and a cover during off-hours, while two included nickel-coated wire mesh trays and a drain tap make oil management and daily cleaning straightforward.

Key Benefits
