Common Questions About Fryer Brushes
Do I need a fryer brush?
Anyone operating a deep fryer needs a fryer cleaning rod of some sort to remove buildup from the heating elements and sides of the fryer. If you don't remove debris and sediment from your fryer regularly, you'll be cooking the next batch of fried chicken alongside some burned old gunk from the last batch, which negatively impacts the flavor of your food and slows down the cooking time. Regular scraping with a deep fryer brush enables you to filter or replace the oil and have a completely clean batch of fried food to serve your guests.

What shape of fryer cleaning rod should I get?
Hooked and curved fryer brushes are necessary to clean tube-type fryers, as you must be able to scrape beneath the inserted heating elements. Flat-bottom and open-pot fryers can be cleaned with a straight fryer cleaning brush because there are no elements blocking access to any part of the fryer. Consider adding a crumb or sediment scoop to facilitate cleaning even further, keeping your oil fresh and food delicious.
