Two independent pans each run their own digital control and infra-red burner, so you can fry two products at two temperatures at once, or run one pan and save oil in quieter periods. Each pan holds 13 litres and fry up to 31kg an hour total, with a large cool zone that lets crumbs settle below the burners to keep the oil clean.

The E stands for digital control. Instead of a dial, the GT46E has a digital display thermostat that gives tighter temperature accuracy and shows the actual oil temperature as it cooks. It has 3 programmable product timers per pan with countdown displays and alarms: drop a basket and the timer counts down, then alerts you when it is done, and you can set each timer to a different product on a different cook time.

The infra-red burners transfer heat from the burner to the pan more efficiently than a direct flame, which loses energy to the surrounds, so the GT46E heats faster and uses less gas for the same output. The stainless steel pan carries a 10 year limited warranty.

Blue Seal Evolution Series is made by Moffat. The GT46E runs on natural gas or LPG, so a licensed gas fitter makes the connection, and it also needs a standard 10A power point for the digital control. Like all Moffat gas fryers, it has a gas regulator built in, so a separate regulator is not required and should not be fitted, since an extra regulator becomes a point of failure. The GT46E is supplied set to the gas type you order and includes a conversion kit, so if you order natural gas the LPG conversion kit comes with it for later use if you ever need to switch.

Best for: busy kitchens that want twin pan flexibility plus digital control and basket timers on each pan.

What is the advantage of a twin pan fryer?

Two separate pans let you fry two different products at two different temperatures at the same time, with no flavour transfer between them. In quieter periods you can run just one pan to save oil and gas, then bring the second online when you get busy.

What does the E digital control add?

The GT46E has a digital display thermostat in place of the dial, giving tighter temperature accuracy and showing the actual oil temperature. It adds 3 programmable product timers per pan with countdown and alarms, so you drop a basket, it times down and alerts you when done, with each timer set to its own product and time.

Does the GT46E need a power point?

Yes. As well as the gas connection, the digital control needs a standard 240V 10A power point, and a plug cordset is supplied. The dial GT46 does not need power, so choose the GT46E for the digital control and timers.

What is the infra-red burner system?

Instead of a direct flame under the pan, the infra-red burners radiate heat into the pan. That transfers more of the gas energy into the oil and less into the surrounds, so it heats faster, recovers quicker between baskets and uses less gas for the same output.

Does the GT46E come with a gas conversion kit?

Yes. The GT46E is supplied set to the gas type you order and includes the conversion kit for the other gas type, so if you order natural gas the LPG kit comes with it. It also has a built in gas regulator, so a separate regulator should not be fitted.
