You have to take into account several things when you are buying a deep fryer for your commercial kitchen. It is important that you choose the right size fryer with the required functionality as it will have a significant impact on your regular operations in your kitchen. If you are not sure what to look for when you are buying a deep fryer, then you can refer to this article where we have tried to answer some of the frequently asked questions regarding this important restaurant kitchen equipment.

We have collated most of these questions from some of the reputed manufacturers of kitchen equipment in Faridabad who get these as their customer feedback.

1). What is the right size for their kitchen: Most of the new customers ask the question about how deep fryer do they need for their kitchen? The answer to this question is quite simple, what do they cook in the kitchen?

When you are planning to buy a fryer, then you must look at how you intend to use the fryer. This can include whether most of your foods will share the same cooking oil or you will need separate oils for separate food (mustard oil, olive oil, rice bran oil et cetera). You can also ask yourself whether the different food items that you intend to cook on your deep fryer will require different temperatures setting and how many times you intend to use this fryer your kitchen? The owner of the kitchen should also think about whether the food which is to be fried on the deep fryer would be fresh or frozen? And whether the fryer would be used for one specific food only?

When you break down your requirements into specific questions, it gives you a better perspective of what type of commercial fryer size is best for your kitchen. For example, if most of the food you intend to fry are going to be frozen foods, then you must buy a larger fryer as the frozen items will expand quickly after they are put into the fryer. And the fryer should have the extra capacity needed to recover quickly and ensure that the food items get adequate space needed for deep frying.

Similarly, if you are mostly frying only what kind of food in the fryer, then you might think about a specialty fryer that will not only take less space in your kitchen but also will give you the optimum outcome.

If you are using multiple types of oils to deep fry your four items, then you must buy a fryer that has multiple vats to avoid cross-contamination of the oils.

2). Freestanding or countertop fryer: When you are trying to decide whether you need a freestanding or make countertop fryer, then you must consider the space available in your kitchen. If you have a larger kitchen, then you can select the floor model fryer with a width that ranges from 15 to 78 inches. It also comes with special add-ons that are very useful for different cooking operations in the kitchen.

In most cases, the countertop units have only two fry pots which make them ideal for small kitchens compared to floor units which may have around five pots and are made for larger kitchens.

These are some of the points that you must keep in mind when you are trying to buy a deep fryer for your commercial kitchen.
