Deep Fryer Wisdom: Mastering Commercial Deep Frying
Summary:
While many of us are familiar with deep frying at home, commercial deep frying is a different ballgame. This guide explores the process, including crucial safety tips for using a deep fryer professionally.---
The Art of Commercial Deep Frying
Having spent time working in a convenience store as a clerk and cook, I've had my fair share of experience with deep fryers, particularly in preparing battered chicken and crispy French fries.
Preparing Chicken
The chicken arrives frozen in large boxes and needs proper preparation before cooking. Here’s the process:
1. Thawing and Soaking: Each piece is rinsed in cold water and soaked in a refrigerated vat of tenderizing, salty water for several hours.
2. Breaded to Perfection: Once ready, the chicken is breaded with a special spicy flour mix, dipped in spice water, and then breaded again.
3. Cooking: Carefully place the pieces into the deep fryer, starting with the thickest pieces to ensure even cooking. The fryer has a timer and alarm system to notify you when it's time to stir for even heat distribution. Once cooked, the fryer automatically lifts the basket to allow excess oil to drain.
Perfecting French Fries
For French fries, the process is just as meticulous:
1. Preparation: Potatoes are cut into elongated cubes.
2. Battering: Fries are battered twice before being gently lowered into the boiling oil.
3. Timed Cooking: The cooking process is controlled by a timer, ensuring perfect fries every time.
Maintaining the Fryer
To maintain quality cooking, regular oil filtration is essential:
1. Cooling and Draining: Turn off the heat and allow the oil to cool. Drain it into the filtering drawer.
2. Cleaning: Brush the empty reservoir and heating element. Filter the oil until it lightens in color, then return it to the reservoir.
3. Readying for Next Use: Dispose of sludge from the filter drawer, dust the cleaned filter with special powder, and replace it. Heat the oil to cooking temperature.
Safety Tips
While the fryer handles much of the cooking, caution is crucial:
- Avoid Burns: Hot oil can burn, even with rubber gloves. Lower food close to the oil surface before releasing it to minimize splashing.
- Be Brave: Confidence in handling the fryer reduces the risk of accidents.
