One of our readers started a new job as a cook in a large public school kitchen.  He wanted to know what the right procedure is for cleaning a large commercial deep fryer and how he should drain the oil out.

How Do I Drain Oil Out Of A Large Commercial Deep Fryer?

While the specifics will vary depending on the fryer model, the procedure is basically the same for all commercial deep fryers.  First you will need to turn off the fryer and possibly unplug the cord from the unit.  Then after the oil has cooled down you should look for a drain near the bottom or sides of the unit.

Wondering when you should clean out your deep fryer?  Read our guide to see if you need to change your deep frying oil.

If you find one, then you can just drain the oil from there into a disposable container.  If there’s no drain then you will have to remove the oil from the reservoir.  Luckily, most of these reservoirs are removable so you can lift it out of the fryer for easy cleaning.

Pour or scoop out all the oil into a throw away container and scrape off any build up from the sides of the oil tub with a metal bench scraper.  You can then wash the metal tub with dish detergent and give it a good scrub.  It is important that you get rid of as much burnt on food and rancid oil as possible

Next you will want to dry it as much as possible and install it back into the fryer.  Hook up anything that you disconnected to take the tub out and refill it with fresh vegetable oil.

Cleaning A Professional Deep Fryer With A Foam Oil Cleaner

Alternatively, your kitchen may have a policy that they keep their deep fryers clean with a specialized deep fryer cleaner.  You would still need to drain out all the old oxidized oil, but you do not have to wash the inside of the deep fryer.  Instead you can just fill it up with water and the amount of foam cleaner that’s needed.  Then you just let the mixture sit and heat up on low heat for about 30 minutes to several hours.  The water will start to get foamy as it removes all the old oil.  Afterwards you can just drain out the dirty water and refill the deep fryer with clean frying oil.

The best deep fryer for cooking many chicken wings at once all at the same time is a deep large capacity home Electric Deep Fryer such as the Presto 05411 GranPappy deep fryer.  Although it may be tempting to fit as many chicken wings as possible into a smaller electric fryer, I really wouldn’t recommend it.  Overloading your fryer will cause uneven cooking temperatures and soggy oil drenched and undercooked food.

If you have a smaller capacity Electric Deep Fryer that only fries up smaller 4 person serving sizes, try to split up the amount of food you want to cook in your deep fryer and cook them separately.  Deep fryers cook at such a high temperature that it wouldn’t take very much longer to deep fry your food in two or three batches versus all at a time.  Just make sure your oil temperature is hot enough for the foods you want to fry.  Usually, you want your frying oil to be at least 325 degrees F and no more than 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

For moist and crunchy chicken wings, set your Electric Deep Fryer to a temperature in the middle, 345 degrees F is a good compromise.  If you’re still wondering what is the best deep fryer for cooking  at least 25 chicken wings at a time, you should check out what these fried chicken enthusiasts have to say.

Best Commercial Deep Fryer

What I like about the D14427DZ Dual-Zone DeLonghi commercial deep fryer is the solid stainless steel construction of this delongi electric commercial deep frier.  Unlike cheaper electric deep fryers, the body is made of steel instead of plastic parts.  This commercial deep fryer heats oil quickly and is automatically set to 320 degrees.  You can increase or decrease the cooking oil temperature from this with a simple button.

Commercial Electric Deep Fryer

One advantage of this commercial Electric Deep Fryer compared to a commercial gas deep fryer is the ability to have the power cord safely disconnect in case the deep fryer is tripped.  Another good reason to buy this delonghi electric fryer is the automatic timer that beeps when your food is cooked.  This way you’ll never forget about your food or have to worry about burning your food when you walk away from your stainless steel commercial deep fryer.
