Oil Management
|
Burn Risk To avoid burns, follow on-screen prompts for Express Filter and Daily Filter. |
Failure to follow the Express Filter and Daily Filter procedures may cause the accumulation of crumbs and debris at the bottom of the fry vat, which may cause oil to spray out of the fryer.
As frying oil deteriorates, it produces by-products that impact the flavor and texture of the food. There is a “sweet spot” to oil where the oil degradation process reaches an optimum state. This sweet spot can be extended through proper oil management. This section provides an understanding of the oil management features on the fryer. Some of these features are explained in this section and some are cross referenced with links to other sections. All of these features help you improve the quality and consistency of product while reducing your oil costs.
-
Preheat Mode - Protects oil by pulsing the heat on and off until the oil temperature reaches 180°F (82°C).
-
Express Filter - Removes frying by-products, such as crumb accumulation, which can degrade your oil. During normal operation and after a certain number of cooks, team members are prompted to perform an express filter. The express filter process requires the team member to skim the vat, but then after that, the filtration is fully automated. The fryer completes the entire express filter process, including bringing the oil back to set temperature, in as little as 3 minutes. Cooking doesn’t have to be stopped during an express filter, because as one vat is being filtered, the other vats can still be used for cooking.
-
Automatic Top Off - Monitors oil levels in each vat and automatically replenishes oil from JIB. Automatic top off extends the sweet spot of your oil by adding fresh oil to each vat on a regular basis.
