Shortening Disposal Units
Even with daily filtering and regular cleanings of the frypot, all cooking oil eventually becomes compromised to the point of no longer being useful for frying foods. Whether it's because it's imparting an unwanted taste to your foods, has a dark appearance or strong odor, or just isn't cooking as it should, cooking oil must be replaced from time to time. That's when one of these portable units comes in handy, allowing you and your employees to avoid having to carry large containers of hot grease to the collection point.
