For most people, the deep fryer immediately calls to mind golden, crispy French fries. But in a commercial kitchen, this versatile piece of equipment can do far more in terms of side orders. Manufacturers know that operators are always looking for ways to diversify menus, boost profits and keep the customers coming back. The deep fryer already is a staple in nearly all high-volume kitchens. However, it is more than commercial equipment. It has the potential to be a menu-expanding powerhouse when used properly.
In this article, let’s explore how many dishes we can make from a deep fryer apart from French fries.
Fryers as Profit Drivers
In fast-paced operations, the fryers are often overlooked as just another workhorse. Yet, by introducing unexpected dishes, operators can elevate their offerings without the need for new, expensive equipment. For manufacturers, highlighting this versatility is key. How one machine can support multiple menu categories and make it easier for profits and customer attraction.
The Tempura Advantage
Vegetables are one of the easiest ways to move beyond the usual fry fare. Lightly battered tempura zucchini, broccoli or sweet potatoes deliver a crisp texture and vibrant color, appealing to both casual diners and health-conscious customers. Fryers can cook a fully measured and temperature-controlled tempura for advantage, and it could be more than just a side dish station.
