Countertop Fryer
64 products
Countertop fryers are compact fryers that sit on a counter or equipment stand, for kitchens that fry in smaller batches or need an extra pot beside the main line. Cafes, bars, food trucks, concession stands and restaurants with a short fried menu use them. They are available with one or two pots in electric and gas versions, and the smaller electric models fit where a floor fryer will not.

About commercial countertop fryers
Before you buy
- Check the plug and circuit before ordering, because small countertop fryers may run on a standard 120-volt outlet while larger ones need a dedicated 208 or 240-volt circuit.
- Choose a twin-pot model if you fry two kinds of food, so fries do not pick up the flavour of fish or breaded chicken.
- Measure the counter or stand so the fryer sits fully on a stable, level surface with the clearances and surface type its manual requires.
- Check how the oil comes out, whether through a front drain valve, a removable pot or lift-out elements, since oil changes on a countertop fryer are usually done by hand.
- Compare the oil capacity with the batch sizes you actually cook, since a small pot drops in temperature quickly when loaded with frozen product.
Common questions
Is a countertop fryer powerful enough for a restaurant?
- For a short fried menu or a secondary station, often yes. A countertop fryer holds less oil than a floor fryer, so it loses more temperature per load and handles fewer baskets an hour. If fried food drives a large share of your orders, a floor fryer or a battery of them is usually the better fit.
Does a countertop fryer need to go under a hood?
- In most commercial kitchens, yes. Frying produces grease-laden vapour, and a countertop fryer is usually treated like any other fryer when it comes to exhaust hoods and fire suppression. Check with your local fire and building officials before placing one, including in a food truck or behind a bar.
Can a commercial countertop fryer be used at home?
- Commercial fryers are built and certified for commercial kitchens, and most commercial equipment warranties are void if the unit is installed in a residential setting. Read the manufacturer's warranty terms before buying one for home use.
How much do commercial countertop fryers cost?
- List prices on Norpex range from $344 to $34,600 CAD, with a median of $1,071.09 across 63 priced models; prices are list prices before tax and shipping. Models without a listed price are quoted on request.
What power options do commercial countertop fryers come in?
- Norpex lists commercial countertop fryers by power source, with the number of models of each: electric (31), gas (6), natural gas (5) and propane (5). Confirm the gas type, or the voltage and phase, available at the installation site before ordering.

- Norpex lists 64 commercial countertop fryers. The brands with the most models listed are Eurodib with 20, Omcan with 20, BakeMax with 9, Global Solutions with 5 and Perfect Fry with 4.
Do you ship commercial countertop fryers across Canada?
- Norpex ships to delivery addresses across Canada. Equipment ships from distributor warehouses, so dispatch timing depends on the supplier and the destination.

There is no automatic free-shipping or flat-rate offer.
