Common Questions About Deep Fryer Cleaning Tools
What supplies do I need to filter my fryer's oil?
Oil filtration equipment is one of the most important kind of commercial deep fryer cleaning tools operators can invest in. Some fryers come with a built-in automatic filtration system, but other options are available for models that don't have this feature. KaTom has a large selection of portable deep fryer oil filter systems that require minimal user labor and are more time effective than changing oil manually. These devices come with a nozzle that can be inserted into your frying pot to filter dirty oil before returning clean oil back into the frying pot through the same nozzle.
Another option for users would be to filter the oil manually by using a cone filter. This method is more time consuming, but it is an economical alternative to portable oil filter systems.
What fryer cleaning supplies do I need to clean my fryer and prevent future buildup?
Any type of buildup in a fryer can have a negative effect on the taste of the food that you are cooking. In order to clean out the fryer, you will need a fryer brush or a clean-out rod. Several versions of these brushes and clean-out rods are available, each with different angles and lengths, so you can always find the product that fits your needs. Changing and filtering your frying oil regularly will help prevent buildup from occurring.
How do I decide what size shortening disposal unit my fryer requires?
Shortening disposal units vary in size from capacities as low as 40 pounds to capacities as high as 150 pounds. Many of these units are low-profile models, which means that they are capable of fitting underneath a fryer. Before you purchase a shortening disposal unit, you should know that the minimum drain height of the unit must be lower than the drain on your fryer. This setup will ensure that your two products are compatible.
What other commercial deep fryer cleaning tools do I need to maintain my unit?
Every fryer owner needs to have a fryer cover for his or her unit. This essential accessory helps ensure that debris from outside sources doesn't end up in your fryer when the device is off. Proper safety measures should also be considered each time you are cleaning and filtering a fryer. Oil has to be filtered while it is still extremely hot, so we recommend wearing goggles, an apron, and protective gloves during the manual filtration process.
