Magnesol Filter Powder & MirOil FryPowder vs FreshFry Pods: which is more effective? 

Magnesol Fryer Oil Filter Powder has been trusted by about 75% of the Top 100 U.S-based QSR chains for over 30 years. Similarly, MirOil FryPowder has held onto its spot in restaurant owners’ supply cupboards ever since it was first introduced to the market.

But now there’s a new kid on the block called FreshFry Pods. If you’ve heard about them, but you’re not sure whether or not they’re better than Magnesol and MirOil, then keep on reading. We’ve taken a closer look at all three to settle the debate once and for all.  

All about Magnesol Filter Powder

Magnesol is the best adsorbent medium on the market – fact!

Magnesol is different from most other filter aids because it acts like a magnet to attract and remove both the insoluble particles and dissolved impurities that make food taste, smell and appear bad.

Magnesol is manufactured by an industry leader

Magnesol is a flagship product from The Dallas Group, a company with over 60 years of industry experience and a team of more than 300 professionals.  

Magnesol is easy to use

Including Magnesol Filter Powder in your existing oil filtration process will only take 1 minute more, and make your oil last up to 50% longer.

Magnesol reduces your environmental impact

Because oil lasts longer, you’ll need to dispose of less oil less frequently, helping to minimize Environmental, Health and Safety risks.

A closer look at MirOil FryPowder

MirOil is a 2-in-1 product

FryPowder helps extend the life of cooking oil by replacing the antioxidants which are naturally broken down during the deep-frying process, and it also works and effective filter aid.

MirOil is also easy to use

Because it comes in premeasured sachets, all you need to do is tear open a new one and add it to your oil before frying.

MirOil benefits your equipment too

A commercial deep fryer is an expensive piece of equipment! Daily filtering with MirOil FryPowder ensures that your oil is clean and your equipment runs at peak efficiency for longer.

MirOil FryPowder works instantly

You’ll notice positive results from the first frying session.

The new contender: FreshFry Pods

FreshFry Pods work overnight

FreshFry Pods are placed in hot oil at the end of the night and left overnight to work, so they’re not instant like MirOil. Leaving the pods overnight also means you can’t keep an eye on them to see if they’re working or not.

FreshFry Pods cost the same amount

If you were looking to recoup some extra dollars and cents, you’re probably already maximising your savings by choosing either Magnesol Filter Powder or MirOil FryPowder.

Different training requirements

FreshFry Pods claim to be easy to use, but so are Magnesol and MirOil. Any time you introduce a new product to your kitchen, your staff need training and this inevitably leads to errors during the learning process. Sometimes it’s better to stick to what to you know… 

You still have to boil-out with FreshFry Pods

There’s no escaping that dreaded boil-out clean, even with a seemingly all-rounder product like FreshFry Pods.

Our conclusion on the best fry powder

Call us old fashioned, but we’ll always prefer the peace of mind that comes with using a tried-and-tested product from a renowned brand like Magnesol or MirOil. The newer FreshFry Pods do pretty much exactly the same thing, but don’t come with the same industry backing as the more established names. We still recommend Magnesol and MirOil above anything else in our online store.
