Finally, you have decided to bring a new deep fryer into the commercial kitchen. This will not only improve the efficiency of your commercial kitchen but also make better-tasting food.
You’re likely to fantasize about all the fun you can have using your new fryer. But before you get started on frying everything and everyone, it’s important to establish ground rules.
Why?
You can get the most from your commercial frying machine by following these best practices. With the right procedures, your commercial deep fryer will run flawlessly, produce top-quality food every day, and it will be in great shape.
These are important tips to remember before you start frying.
Fryer preparation
The first and most important step in efficient cooking is to prepare the fryer. A commercial fryer without proper preparation can result in severe burns, injury, or even fire.
Make sure to clean the pot thoroughly with soapy water or a commercial fryer cleaner. This will get rid of any residue or buildup that may have been in the basin. Rinse the pot thoroughly and boil some water in the basin. Drain the water and dry the basin.
Before you start frying, make sure that the fry pot is full. Overfilling your fry pan will reduce efficiency and cause injury to anyone who is using it.
Get Food Ready
Before putting any food in the fryer, allow it to get to the proper cooking temperature–anywhere from 350-450oF. This will ensure that food cooks evenly and thoroughly.
It is important to keep the oil clean and free from food crumbs before you put the food in. Place the fry pans on a container, not the fry pot. You know that sediment buildup can reduce efficiency and cause oil to taste burnt. For frozen foods, ice crystals may get in the oil and cause temperature disruptions.
Commercial Deep Fryer Cooking
You came here to learn how to cook in a commercial fryer. You should follow certain best practices when operating your fryer. Before you place your food in the oil, make sure it is well thawed. Frosted food can have an ice buildup that can lead to hot oil splashes.
It doesn’t matter if your food is frozen, the oil will heat up whenever you add new food to the basin. We recommend that you only add one basket at a time to monitor temperature changes. This will allow the temperature to recover quickly and return to its ideal state between batches.
Maintaining the Fryer in an Optimal Condition
To keep your fryer in top condition, you must clean it at least once a day. To remove any crumbs, filter your fryer oil at a minimum once per day. They can cause oil to carbonize and alter the flavor and quality of the food. To keep your fryer in top condition, you should clean the inside of your fry pot after the oil has been drained. Before you add oil to the fryer, clean the walls and make sure there is no soap residue. Clean the fryer, hood, and other equipment around it to get rid of any oil or grease buildup.
