Let’s talk oil. Why do operators think oil filtration is a waste?

In my opinion, it’s because they’re thinking about the time and trouble they imagine it takes to clean, filter, or change and dispose of the oil in many fryers. It’s common for some end-users to find that new oil must be “broken in” before it starts to perform properly, making it even easier for them to justify putting off changing the oil change. But doing so can in fact end up costing them more. Old fryer oil means longer cooking times and more fat absorption by the food, along with the potential for unsavory flavors.

Most operators are living in the now and trying to survive the day-to-day. They’re not thinking of the long-term costs of not filtering, and it’s not until you do the math and show them that filtering can almost double the life of your oil over time, that they really see the benefits.”
