How to Clean the Coils of a Commercial Deep Fryer

The easiest and most effective way to clean the coils of a commercial deep fryer is to treat the whole frying compartment with a cleaning solution designed for the job. Here’s a simple technique to restore your fryer’s coils to a like-new condition.

• Fryer Boil out
• Warm water
• Metallic/teflon pot scrubbers
• Long handled pot scrubber brush
• Clean towels
• Vinegar

1. Begin by draining the fryer of oil and remove any loose debris.
2. Fill the fryer as directed in your chosen product’s instructions
3. Heat to a slow boil. Once boiling, maintain it for 20 minutes. The mixture of the heat and the boil-out will loosen the debris that is attached to the surfaces of the fryer.
4. Loosen any remaining stuck grease or debris with a long handled brush.
5. Drain the unit.
6. Use pot scrubbers to clean the interior surfaces.
7. Rinse with clean water.
8. Flush with vinegar to remove any cleaning residue and help prevent the breakdown of new oils.
9. Towel dry the surfaces.

• If your fryer is not stainless steel, use a plastic mesh scrubber instead of a metallic one.
