Modular Cooktops
The choice is yours: the new professional Vario 400 Series offers eight special-purpose appliances, high-tech in stainless steel, with new-style, sturdy control knobs set in a glowing orange ring. In the 200 Series, surfaces are finished in shot-blasted aluminum, gleaming, light, and robust, with top-mounted control knobs.

The VF 230 Vario Deep Fryer
Gaggenau's spacious VF 230 electric deep fryer puts culinary specialties that would have once been the exclusive preserve of the restaurant kitchen well within your grasp. The special three zone design prevents flavors passing from one food to another, so you can safely fry potatoes, vegetables, meat, fish, shellfish, fruit and sweet dishes one after another without any risk of taste cross over. Control over the oil temperature is precise, covering the 275 - 380°F range in 10°F increments. Set the right temperature and the hot oil will seal the surface of the food on contact, keeping the oil out and the flavor, consistency, protein and minerals in.

• Three Zone Basin
• The special three zone basin design of the electric deep fryer typifies the professional standard set by the Vario range.
• Zone 1 is a large, widened area at the top of the frying basin that prevents the oil from bubbling over.
• Zone 2 is the actual cooking zone and is located between the heating element and Zone 1.
• Situated below the heating element, Zone 3 is the "cold oil" zone.
• Here cooking residues are safely away from the frying food and any water released during cooking can accumulate far enough away from the heat and surface to prevent spitting.
• Cold Oil Zone
• In the area under the heating element, the cold oil zone ensures that the deep frying zone remains free of residue, thus clearly extending the lifetime of the oil.
• It also collects the water from the fried food.
• This prevents the oil from foaming.
• Electronic Temperature Control with Display
• The temperature ranges from 275 - 380°F, and can be controlled in increments of 10°F.
• This allows for more precise frying and reduces the possibility of overcooking.
• Function Display
• The function display allows you to view all important functions at a glance.
• Electronic Short-Period Timer
• The short-period timer displays the time remaining, with a maximum time of 90 minutes.
• Hinged Heating Element
• The heating element of the fryer can be easily tilted up and away for easy cleaning of the stainless steel cooktop.
• Two Basket Hangers
• The deep fryer is designed to accommodate two baskets at once for high volume frying.
• Child Lock
• The control knob locks all functions.
• Gentle Fat Melting Stage
• The fat melting stage warms solid cooking fat gently so it melts slowly without smoke.
• Careful heating considerably increases the lifetime of the fat.
• Foaming Expansion Rim
• The large zone of the deep frying basin prevents oil from foaming over.
• Frying Zone
• The special three-zone design of the electric deep fryer manifests the professional sophistication of the Vario series.
• Shot-Blasted Aluminum Control Panel and Knobs
• Shot-Blasted Stainless Steel Maintop
• "Create A Personal Cooktop"
