Maintenance tips for your commercial deep fryer

A commercial deep fryer is an expensive purchase for a business, and for many restaurant owners it’s also the hardest working piece of equipment in their kitchen. So, it only makes sense to take proper care of it. That means regularly cleaning your commercial deep fryer.

Adhering to the strictest cleaning and hygiene standards isn’t just a legal obligation for all restaurant, food truck or concession stand owners; it’s also good for your customers, good for your employees, and good for your reviews! The fact is: food prepared in a clean space just tastes better.

Deep fryer maintenance tip 1: filter your oil

Filtering your oil makes it last longer, but cleaner oil is also better for deep fryers. Dirty oil can cause deep fryers to break down, or worse, it could spark a grease fire in your kitchen. This is because the deep fryer has to work harder to heat unfiltered oil, resulting in more wear and tear.

Deep fryer maintenance tip 2: daily cleaning

The old saying goes ‘prevention is better than cure’. Proper daily maintenance only takes a few minutes, but it can save you huge amounts of time and money later down the line. If you’re not changing your oil at the end of the day, you should at the very least be cleaning the exterior of the machine to remove oil splashes and food residue.

Deep fryer maintenance tip 3: deep cleaning

When it comes time to change your spent oil, or every month, a deep clean is required. This entails emptying your deep fryer and using a product like Fry-Whiz Deep Fryer Cleaner to degrease the vat entirely. Once the oil has been drained from the deep fryer, it is then filled with water and the Fry-Whiz Deep Fryer Cleaner powder, and after some light scrubbing your deep fryer will be clean and shining once again.

Deep fryer maintenance tip 4: Fryer Cleaning Brushes

You can make your deep fryer cleaning a breeze with heat-resistant scrubbing brushes and rods specifically designed for deep fryers and fryer drains. When a fryer cleaner brush is used, no down time is required as fryers don’t need to be shut down to cool before cleaning. No down time during your fryer cleaning means longer operating times with better long-term profits!
