A large number of commercial kitchens has an element of deep frying to their menu. Whether this is deliciously crispy tempura or a helping of Australia’s favourite hot chips, a reliable fryer is key to ensure that quality can be maintained even at the very highest volumes of output. Commercial cooking equipment plays a massive part in this consistency, providing chefs with all the right tools to produce great food without having to worry about the units breaking down or failing to keep up with demand.
Here at Moffat, we supply FastFri machines that are robust, efficient and most importantly reliable. In this article, we’ll explore why these factors are so critical to places like takeaway shops, food trucks, cafes, restaurants and QSRs, and explain how FastFri meets these demands.
Quality needs to be maintained even when dozens of orders are required in quick succession.
The importance of reliable fryers
The first reason to make sure your fryers are reliable is to ensure that consistently high volumes of food can be produced. When a kitchen gets busy, there can be hundreds of different orders to deliver in a relatively short space of time. If a fryer can’t be trusted to operate for this entire time, then there can be significant delays, which can have serious consequences for a quick service business where speed literally is the name of the game.
Conversely, quality needs to be maintained even when dozens of orders are required in quick succession. This is a particular problem with fryers, where the end-product can be hugely affected by the freshness of the oil. At the same time, you don’t want to be changing oil all the time to maintain good results, as this can have a big impact on your financial bottom line.
A final point to keep in mind in terms of reliability is robustness. The sheer volume of food that may be fried in a fish and chip show puts a lot of stress on your fryers, and using cheaper machines with lower quality materials may mean you’ll have to replace each unit much sooner than you’d expect.
FastFri FF18 fryers
The FastFri FF18 is designed to fulfil all of the different demands places on its fryers while remaining affordable and compact. The machines are simple to use – key for those who may not have a full team of skilled chefs – but they still boast more than enough power and functionality. With an 18 litre capacity, these units are ideally suited to small or medium sized businesses, but their small size also means that multiple units will comfortably fit in most kitchens too.
Thanks to stainless steel open pans, the FastFri FF18 is also more than capable of handle all the rigours of busy service, while the mechanical thermostat provides precise temperature control, which is critical when frying.
