Deep Fryers – The Basics of Deep Fryers

Commercial deep fryers are an integral part of commercial establishments like hotels, restaurants, fast food centers, night cubs, bars and cafeterias. The deep fryers are used to fry a large number of things like, fries, onion rings, potatoes, cheese, fish, chicken, pastries and even ice creams. A commercial deep fat fryer can cook up to 100 pounds of food every hour. Many models are available to match varying needs. Many fryers are available as stand alones, space saving portable counter tops, floor models or with many small fryers.

The commercial deep fat fryers can also be differentiated by the energy source, they may be gas or electricity operated. The later are becoming more and more popular as they are economical and run on a clean fuel. The electric deep fryers reduce running costs and are also safer than gas deep fryers. They have uniform temperatures in the fry pot leading to faster cooking and also help to retain the flavor of the food cooked.

The deep fryer is normally made of stainless steel on the front, doors and sides. The basket hangers are also made of steel. The deep fat fryer has an insulated frypot to save the food and a cold zone to collect the crumbs and extra oil. The sides of a most units are welded securely and the insides are made in non stick surfaces to facilitate easy cleaning of the fryer.

The deep oil fryer has a thermostat to keep the temperature of the oil or shortening at constant levels. This leads to economy in the use of oil or shortening as maintaining a constant temperature protracts their life. When a precise temperature is maintained it cooks food faster. A centerline thermostat can sense it when frozen food is put inside the deep fryer and begins the cooking processes faster. The safety shut off is activated if the temperatures cross a pre set level and also if the deep fat fryer is accidentally left on after the closing hours.

The commercial deep fryers have many useful features like a
- Disconnect-valve combo which also provides protection from bacteria,
- Drain board which collects excess grease and also acts as a cover when the unit is not in use.
- Submerger screen which helps keep the food in the oil and also does not let it fall in to the pit.
- Melt cycle is used to liquefy the shortening for frying.
- Solid state controls has the on/off switch, digital temperature reading and signal lights located on it.
- Twin kettles to fry two different foods at the same time.
- Ribbon design to transfer heat uniformly for even cooking
- XL frypots for cooking large quantities of food in one go.

Deciding If Fried Food Is Right For You

Here’s a little known factoid – did you know that KFC changed its image by retiring the slogan Kentucky FRIED Chicken. Instead, they became known as serving up Kitchen Fresh Chicken. Long are the days of Wesson Oil commercials that proudly encouraged yummy fried chicken for dinner. When was the last time you saw a splatter screen? How about a Fry Daddy? It must be a pretty big sin to eat fried foods these days. Or is it?

Look at the menu at Long John Silvers; nothing but fried foods. Look at any menu for that matter, deep fried beer battered shrimp, fried clams, french fries, fried potatoes, fried eggs. Outback restaurant has the Blooming Onion, that puppy is soaked in oil. Fried Fried Fried.

So perhaps no one is trying to say that fried foods are good for you, but nations sure are indulging in the grease laden foods, especially Americans. Perhaps this isn’t a good time to bring up the Obesity statistics. But here’s the kicker, “It tastes so good!” Granted, some fried foods are just too greasy, but a majority of them just taste delicious. That’s why loads of indulgers treat themselves to a so many artery-closing delicacies!

First there were the french fries, now there are deep fried dill pickles and deep fried Oreos? How did THAT leap happen? Don’t forget deep fried ice cream and deep fried peaches. Of course what menu isn’t complete without the deep fried mushrooms, deep friend cheese sticks, and deep friend cauliflower? Perhaps if you deep fry vegetables, it’s a little healthier? Is that how it works? Or if you deep fry already fattening nibbles, such as ice cream and Oreos, then it doesn’t really matter because you’re already cheating?

Nevertheless it continues. There’s deep fried strawberries, Snickers, potato salad, zucchini, tofu, cheesecake, rice balls, bananas, corn, shrimp, and even deep fried turkey. Product flyers claim the winged bird is “so much juicier when cooked in a deep fryer!” So we got rid of the little table top Fry Daddy and went for the floor model turkey fryer. Umm, ok.

Then there’s the big decision about what kind of oil to use? Olive, peanut, vegetable, canola, lard, butter, margarine or Valvoline 10-40? Certainly don’t forget to check out your saturated fats against your polyunsaturated fats versus the monounsaturated fats.

Maybe you should say fats. Did we ever decide if fried was a bad word? Perchance the better word is Sautéed. Indeed. Sautéed Oreos – much healthier!
