For a time I operated in a convenience store as a clerk and cook and I used a deep fryer rather a bit for cooking battered chicken and French fried potatoes.
Naturally the chicken doesn't start damaged. It comes delivered frozen in big cardboard boxes. Before the chicken is ready for the cooking part it must be prepared and time to thaw out. Each piece of chicken is washed in cold water, then put in a barrel of tenderising, salted water to soak for a number of hours in a cooled area. It is once again rinsed and kept cold, till required for cooking.
Each piece is than carefully positioned in the boiling oil in the deep fryer; starting with the big, meaty pieces, and completing with the thin bony pieces. They get the hottest oil in the pot to begin off the cooking process. The pot elevator will immediately lift the cooking basket out of the hot oil, permitting the chicken to drip off the excess oil.
The deep fryer likewise cooks French fried potatoes. After cutting the potatoes into the elongated cube shape in a cutter, the french fries are battered, dipped and damaged once again. They then can be carefully lowered in hands complete, into the boiling oil. The cooking is again managed by a timer, which sounds when the cooking cycle has actually completed. After 4 cooks the oil in the fryer needs to be filtered to clean it for future cooking cycles. Another alarm shows when oil filtering have to take place.
The heat on the oil is turned off, so the oil can cool down enough to work with. When the oil has drained the empty oil reservoir is brushed, including the heating coil aspect, to eliminate anything sticking to their surfaces. When the oil has actually ended up being lighter in color it is pumped back up to the oil reservoir, after the valve at the bottom of the pot has been closed.
Yes the fryer does most of the cooking for you but enjoy out for the hot oil when filling the food into the cooking basket. Even using rubber gloves will not stop the oil from burning you, must it splash on your hands as the food drops into the hot oil.
Happy cooking. digital deep fryer Cook, however do not be cooked.
