Dean Commercial Fryer SR42G-Nat: An Economical Choice

The Dean Commercial Fryer SR42G-Nat is the model of efficiency for smaller restaurants.  It contains a 14×14″ cooking area, which is sufficient for virtually any item necessary.  At the same time, this commercial fryer uses a low 35-43 lbs. of cooking oil so you can stretch your supplies.  This commercial fryer also uses an efficient heating design to maximize cooking efficiency: the heating elements are surrounded by the cooking oil, which means less unused heat and energy gets lost.  This translates to a lower amount of natural gas used per load of product cooked—which means more savings for you.

Frymaster Commercial Fryer EH1721: Large-Load Cooking

The Frymaster Commercial Fryer EH1721 focuses on cooking in quantity — a large quantity.  The 18×18″ cooking area holds a whopping 80 lbs. of cooking oil for large-batch efficiency.  And this Frymaster fryer achieves its goals admirably.  After all, it’s been voted Best in Class by Food Service Equipment Supplies Magazine, and has been designated an Editor’s Choice and given a five-star rating by the folks here at ShortOrder.

In this rough economy, restaurants are looking for ways to cut costs, whether it be operating, restaurant equipment or other costs. One company has successfully come up with a way to do this: Church’s Chicken unveiled their latest store prototype — a modular restaurant concept — on April 1, 2009 in Lawrenceville, Georgia. We learned about this in a great recent article in Restaurants and Industry Magazine.

The modular restaurant, according to officials at Church’s Chicken, will cut new-store costs by as much as 30 percent. What’s even more impressive is that it takes just three days for the modular restaurant to be completely finished and ready for customers.

The RI Magazine article noted that the mayor of Lawrenceville, Rex A. Millsaps, proclaimed the day the modular restaurant was unveiled Start Up a Franchise, Start Up the Economy Day. And that’s only fitting, seeing as how the modular restaurant makes it very easy and affordable for people to own and operate a Church’s franchise. Development, insurance premiums and restaurant equipment costs are all cut — and value, safety and quality are not at all compromised.

Franchised businesses are very important to the economy, as they create and employ over 3,153,207 people according to the article. It can be very difficult to get a bank loan today, so keeping costs down helps quite a bit. Some specific ways the new modular restaurant saves on operating costs: low insurance premiums thanks to the building’s steel infrastructure, lower taxes because the steel infrastructure allows the restaurant to depreciate like equipment and installing re-manufactured restaurant equipment. The building is also energy efficient.

We at ShortOrder understand how much it takes to open and operate a restaurant. That’s why we offer a Low Price Guarantee on Restaurant Equipment. This gives you the assurance that you’re getting the lowest price out there. We also offer a selection of Scratch and Dent Restaurant Equipment.

A hot topic as of late, with so many places banning trans fats, is how healthy fried food are. But there is such a thing as fit frying. There are four factors of fit frying, as developed by Frymaster:

- Follow the right cooking process

Lately, it seems newspapers and online media have had nothing but gloomy stories about the economy. Jobs cut, profits down — these are indeed stressful times for businesses. But an article recently from Forbes.com talks about how restaurants might prove to be more resilient than other consumer-dependent industries.

The article pointed out how in a note to investors, one analyst said that traffic might be down relative to what it was in more “robust times,” but same-store sales are “holding up relatively well.”

Many restaurant chains have even recently reported fairly strong sales trends, like Buffalo Wild Wings. So how do you explain this? The article says consumers have a desire for comfort from “the storm of daily living.”

This means, essentially, that restaurants are providing an escape for consumers who are looking for one. And with restaurants offering up specials and money-saving deals, consumers are enticed to skip cooking at home and go out to dinner. The deals are sometimes just too good for people to pass up, like dollar menus and buy-one-get-one-free deals.

Crispy fries, crunchy chips, mouth-watering fried chicken — serving up these tasty treats at your restaurant calls for commercial fryers. But with so many different kinds of fryers, where do you even begin? Let’s take a look.

Restaurant Fryers: How Big?

When you’re shopping for restaurant fryers, such as Frymaster fryers, one consideration is the size. Typically, general purpose fryers have a 30-50 pound oil capacity, while large fryers for chicken and fish have an oil capacity of 60-80 pounds. General purpose fryers with a larger capacity mean they’ll have a faster recovery, this being how long it takes for the fryer to heat the oil back to the starting temperature once you drop in cold food. When fryers have a faster recovery, it can mean greater production, since the fryer oil temperature drops less and recovers quicker in order to maintain the proper cooking temperature. When fryers are low recovery, it can result in soggy products.

Restaurant Fryers: Choose Stainless Steel

We can’t recommend stainless steel pots enough when it comes to restaurant fryers. They’re easier to clean and last much longer. When you’re shopping for fryers, look for a stainless steel pot with at least a five-year warranty, or, even better, a lifetime warrantee.

Restaurant Fryers: Sediment Zone Types

Another thing to consider when buying fryers is the sediment zone. This is where the excess breading and small food pieces collect when they fall off during cooking. Fryers have three different types of sediment zones, also called “cool zones.” Those types include: open pot fryers, tube type fryers and flat bottom fryers.

Fit Frying: is it a myth or can it be done? Frymaster has written an article about how it can in fact be done!

Fit Frying: The Challenge

It’s not easy being an operator today. Everyone, it seems, is telling you how to cook. With government agencies mandating removal of trans fats from menus and the Food and Drug Administration expected to deliver recommendations for reducing acrylamide in fried foods next year, delivering maximum taste in foods that are as healthful as possible is a major challenge. Especially when consumers have demonstrated that if something doesn’t taste good, they won’t eat it. Witness the multitude of healthy menu items that have been deleted from restaurant menus over time because they weren’t ordered.

Customer Demand

That’s why fried foods are more popular than ever with patrons – they consistently deliver on flavor. Data from Mintel, a global research company, shows that chicken wings and fingers, onion rings and mozzarella sticks are among the top ten appetizers on chain menus. Clearly, frying is one of the most popular cooking methods with patrons and one that provides unique challenges.

The Solution

The good news is that by following a simple set of principles, called The 4 Factors for Fit Frying, you can be assured your frying methods address current health issues such as trans fats, optimize taste and maximize oil life. The 4 Factors for Fit Frying program was developed by Frymaster, an Enodis company, and offers best practice guidelines for anyone serving fried foods. It consists of four steps you can take to make sure the fried foods you prepare are flavorful and healthful.

Fit Frying: 4 Factors

Factor  1: Choose The Right Fryer

Factor  2: Select The Right Oil

Factor 3: Follow The Right Cooking Process

Factor 4: Establish The Right Maintenance

Frymaster’s white paper, entitled “The Facts on Fit Frying: Impact and Benefits for Foodservice Operators,” provides an executive summary of The 4 Factors for Fit Frying program.
