For a time I operated in a convenience store as a clerk and cook and I utilized a deep fryer quite a bit for cooking battered chicken and French fried potatoes.
Before the chicken is ready for the cooking part it must be prepared and time to thaw out. It is again rinsed and kept cold, till needed for cooking.
When required for preparing the chicken is breaded in a special spicy flour mix, dipped in spice water, and breaded with mix once again. Each piece is than carefully placed in the boiling oil in the deep fryer; starting with the big, meaty pieces, and finishing with the thin bony pieces. This offers the thick meaty pieces more time to cook. They get the most popular oil in the pot to begin the cooking procedure. The deep fryer is on a timer and part way through the cooking process the timer triggers an alarm which notifies you that it's time to stir the chicken, so it gets all sides cooked uniformly, even the sides touching when first put in the fryer. After stirring the chicken it cooks until the end of cooking cycle alarm goes off. The pot elevator will instantly raise the cooking basket out of the hot oil, permitting the chicken to leak off the excess check here oil.
They then can be carefully lowered in hands full, into the boiling oil. After 4 cooks the oil in the fryer requires to be filtered to clean it for future cooking cycles. Another alarm suggests when oil filtering requirements to occur.
The heat on the oil is turned off, so the oil can cool down enough to work with. When the oil has drained pipes the empty oil tank is brushed, consisting of the heating coil component, to remove anything sticking to their surface areas. When the oil has actually become lighter in color it is pumped back up to the oil reservoir, after the valve at the bottom of the pot has actually been closed.
Yes the fryer does many of the cooking for you but watch out for the hot oil when filling the food into the cooking basket. Even wearing rubber gloves won't stop the oil from burning you, must it splash on your hands as the food drops into the hot oil.
Delighted cooking. Cook, but do not be cooked.
