Benefits of Pressure Frying

Why Opt for a Pressure Fryer?

Pressure fryers and open fryers may seem similar, but there’s a key difference: in a pressure fryer, the lid is tightly sealed when proteins, like freshly breaded bone-in chicken, are lowered into the hot oil. This sealed environment cooks the food more quickly and locks in moisture, resulting in juicier, more flavorful meat. The high-pressure hot oil also ensures a crispier texture compared to open fryers. This method is perfect for cooking bone-in items like chicken while preserving natural juices.

Enhanced Oil Quality

Pressure frying extends the lifespan of the oil. The sealed cooking environment traps moisture and flavor, preventing them from contaminating the oil, which typically leads to faster deterioration. Proper oil filtration routines further maintain oil quality. Learn more about how to protect your oil from deterioration here.

Quicker Cooking Times

One major advantage of pressure frying is the reduced cooking time. The pressurized environment allows food to cook faster at lower oil temperatures than traditional open frying. This efficiency enables higher production rates, allowing you to serve more customers in less time.

Versatile Menu Options

While poultry is a popular choice for the Henny Penny pressure fryer, its versatility extends to various menu items. This cooking method is suitable for meats, seafood, vegetables, and more, offering restaurants the flexibility to cater to diverse tastes and preferences.

Reduced Food Shrinkage

Pressure frying retains more moisture and juices, resulting in less food shrinkage. The method delivers tender, delicious products that keep customers coming back for more.

Cleaner Cooking Process

Pressure frying captures and exhausts oil-laden steam through a hood, minimizing greasy residue and odors. This leads to less buildup in the kitchen, reducing cleaning time and increasing efficiency.
