Frying Up Summer Favorites With Pitco

School is ending, the weather is warm, and people are ready to start traveling. Which means it's time for outdoor events. What's more representative of the food people love to eat at carnivals, state fairs, food trucks, and concerts than fried food?

Crispy with flavor on multiple levels, fried food is an American favorite. And the best way to be sure you're serving great fried food every time is to use Pitco gas and electric fryers.

Maximize Space

Cooking at outdoor events can have its limitations, and one of the biggest challenges can be a lack of space. Working in smaller quarters means ensuring that every appliance used maximizes the use of the area. Pitco's Electric Economy Fryers fit in a smaller footprint and have two fry baskets allowing you to fry multiple items at once.

Have minimal space to work? The Commercial Countertop Fryer will enable you to work almost anywhere. If you're periodically frying fish and want to keep the batter out of the coils, use a Fish Grid, which is easy to store and used in smaller fryers. And for gas options, the Stretch Fryer allows you to fit three fry baskets, increasing your fry capacity by 50%.

Fry Up Variety

Getting attention at state fairs with your food is something many vendors take very seriously. From corn fritters to french fries to fried cereal and fried candy, there are many ways to incorporate fried foods into your foodservice business. Frying lots of wet batter products like fried fish and funnel cakes where you want the batter to stick to the food and not the equipment? Pitco's Flat Bottom Fryers help with this.

High Profits and Less Labor

A high profit margin item, fried foods can help with your bottom line. But not if you're concentrating all your labor on monitoring and maintenance. Dedicating staff to your fry station at outside events can mean one less person available to take orders and handle other duties. Fry Basket Lifts solve this problem. Used with fryers that have timers, the lifts lower and raise the fry baskets automatically, helping not only with labor but also with ensuring that food isn't accidentally over or undercooked.

Another time constraint with fryers is making sure that they stay clean. Using old oil in the food can cause food to be undercooked or impart flavors of previously fried food. With models that have built-in filtration, you'll save time and money since you'll have to change your oil less often but still have clean oil every time you fry.
