3 ways to immediately save on oil costs
No part of running a commercial kitchen could be considered cheap. Just ask any restaurant owner and they’ll tell you about the high cost of equipment, staffing, ingredients, cleaning supplies, and about a thousand other unexpected expenses that you’d never think of. But there are ways to save – especially when it comes to one of the biggest expenses in any kitchen: cooking oil. Through effective fry oil management, you can save on oil costs and put dollars back into your pocket every day. Here are 3 easy processes to implement in your kitchen, which will immediately cut your cooking oil costs.
1. Regular Oil Filtration
Simply filtering your oil at the end of each day will make a noticeable impact on your bottom line and help you save on oil costs. Cleaner oil lasts longer and needs less frequent replacing. Restaurants that use a filter aid, like MirOil’s Fry Powder, report saving up to 50% on their monthly cooking oil spend!
If you have multiple deep fryers, then you’ll definitely want to make the job easier with a frying oil filter machine.
Our extra pro tip to help you save on oil costs is to also start skimming your oil every 30 minutes or so. It will only take an employee about 30 seconds to remove food debris this is floating on the top of the oil with a mesh skimmer, and it will result in many more meals cooked before you have to fully change your oil.
2. Start Using Oil Additives
Additives may sound like a bad word, but with tried-and-trusted products like ours, you never need to worry about adding anything unsafe to your cooking oil. Quite the opposite in fact. Products like Miroil’s FryLiquid Antioxidant actually remove the particles that make cooking oil unhealthy. The best part is that FryLiquid is completely USDA tested and approved.
Fry Powder, which we mentioned above, isn’t only a filter aid, it also acts as an oil stabilizer when you fry. This amazing 2-in-1 product by MirOil slows down the accumulation of carbon and gum deposits in fryer oil to preserve its fresh consistency and make it last longer.
These additives can be used at any point in the cooking process. Your staff won’t need to stop work to wait for anything to dissolve; they work instantly without negatively affecting flavour.
3. Test Your Oil
Be 100% sure of the quality of your cooking oil 100% of the time with an easy-to-use frying oil test kit by MirOil. In just 3 minutes, you get an accurate reading on your oil quality, taking the guesswork out of deciding when it’s time for a change. Knowing when your oil needs to be changed helps you save on oil costs by elimating the chance of throwing out oil early that is actually still good for cooking. Testing can be carried out any time and will not interfere with the operations of your kitchen team.
