CKE WG-XZ-16 Commercial Electric Pressure Fryer, 16L Tabletop, 3kW

Our review

The CKE WG-XZ-16 is a tabletop electric pressure fryer with a 16-litre capacity and a 3kW heating element, operated through mechanical controls rather than a digital panel. It is aimed at cooks who want broaster-style pressure frying but lack the floor space or ventilation setup for a full-size floor-standing unit, such as small restaurants, cafés, catering operations, and serious home cooks doing volume. Because it is a pressure fryer, it cooks faster and retains moisture differently from open-basket fryers, so results are closer to commercial broasted chicken than standard deep frying. Before buying, confirm your power supply can handle 3kW on a dedicated circuit, check that the 16L capacity matches your batch sizes, and think about whether mechanical controls suit you or whether you prefer programmable settings. Compare it against open electric fryers of similar capacity if pressure cooking is not essential, and against larger commercial broasters if you regularly cook in high volume. It is available on Sokonia.
