A deep fryer needs a regular deep clean to keep oil fresh, food tasting right and the fryer working efficiently. Fry Essentials products are made for that job. This collection covers Fry Essentials fryer cleaner and boil-out powder for commercial deep fryers in fish and chip shops, takeaways, pubs and restaurants.
Fryer cleaner and boil-out powder
The Fry Essentials fryer cleaner and boil-out powder (AS-BOILOUT5KG) is supplied in a 5 kg pack. Boil-out powder is dissolved in water in the empty fryer vat and heated, which loosens the carbon and baked-on grease that build up on the vat walls and elements over time. Follow the instructions on the pack for quantities, temperature and time.
What is a boil-out?
A boil-out is a deep clean of the fryer vat. Over time, oil breaks down and leaves a sticky, carbonised layer on the vat and elements. That layer insulates the elements, so the fryer takes longer to heat and recover, and it taints fresh oil. A boil-out removes it so the fryer heats efficiently and new oil lasts longer.
A typical boil-out routine
- Turn off and cool the fryer, then drain and remove the oil.
- Fill the vat with water to the oil line and add boil-out powder as directed on the pack.
- Heat to the recommended temperature for the recommended time, never leaving the fryer unattended.
- Drain, rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely before refilling with oil.
Always follow the fryer maker's instructions as well as the product's, and wear suitable protective equipment.
How often to boil out
How often depends on how hard the fryer works and what is fried in it. Many busy kitchens boil out on a regular schedule, such as weekly or at each oil change. Pair boil-outs with daily oil filtering, which removes food particles and extends oil life between changes.
