Frequently Asked Questions
A reliable commercial fryer can be an essential piece of cooking equipment for restaurants, pubs, cafes, takeaways and other busy professional kitchens.
What is a commercial deep fat fryer?
A commercial deep fat fryer is designed to cook food by immersing it in heated cooking oil. Commercial models are available in different capacities and configurations to suit professional food service. They can be used for chips, fish, chicken and many other fried foods in restaurants, pubs, cafes, takeaways and catering kitchens.
What can you cook in a commercial deep fryer?
A commercial deep fryer can be used for a wide variety of foods, including chips, fish, chicken, onion rings, doughnuts and other battered, breaded or fried dishes. The exact foods you can prepare will depend on the fryer and your menu. Always follow the appliance manufacturer's instructions and appropriate food safety procedures.
How often should you change oil in a commercial fryer?
How often oil needs changing depends on the food being cooked, frying temperature, frequency of use, filtration and oil condition. Commercial fryer oil should generally be changed every 1–7 days depending on usage, food type, and maintenance practices. Oil should be monitored regularly and replaced when its quality has deteriorated. Always follow your food safety procedures and the recommendations provided by your fryer and cooking oil manufacturers.
How do you clean a commercial deep fat fryer?
Allow the commercial deep fat fryer to cool and follow the manufacturer's instructions before cleaning. Oil should be drained or removed safely before the fryer is cleaned. Baskets, removable components and the fryer itself should then be cleaned as recommended for the individual appliance. Never begin cleaning hot oil or equipment without following the appropriate safety procedures.
