Overview
The Waring WDF1300 is a commercial countertop deep fryer with a 10 pound oil capacity, front-mounted drain spigot, and variable temperature control from 170 to 390 F. It includes two stainless steel wire fry baskets with cool-touch handles.
The tilt-back, removable heating element is the detail that separates this from a basic home fryer: the whole control box lifts away for draining and cleaning rather than requiring the unit to be tipped over a sink. Rated for up to 10 pounds of fries per hour, it is sized for steady, repeated frying rather than a single household batch.
- 10 lb oil capacity
- 170 to 390 F variable temperature
- 60 minute countdown timer
- Front-mounted drain spigot
Who it's for
Small food service operations, concession stands, and anyone frying in volume who wants a front drain and a removable heating element for cleanup. More fryer than a household needs for occasional use.

Performance notes
