Unlike other cooking equipment, fryers require minimal maintenance.
Prior to purchasing, sizing represents a main consideration and will help determine the appropriate capacity.
Floor and countertop fryers come in gas, electric, infrared and induction-heated versions.
Operators can choose from many different fryer types and styles, including models suitable for general use and multipurpose and specialty units. The menu will determine the type of fryer that is necessary.
When purchasing a commercial fryer, sizing is a key factor, so consider the volume of fried food the operation will prepare. In addition, consider the configuration of the fryer in relation to the menu items the operation will produce as some designs work better with certain foods than others.
Unlike other cooking equipment, fryers require minimal maintenance. On a daily basis or as necessary, use hot, soapy water or a grease-cutting solution to wipe down units. When necessary, the fryer’s exterior should be wiped down with a stainless-steel polish and a clean cloth. All louvers and vents on high-efficiency fryers with blowers should be kept clean.
