My first job at 16 was McDonalds and by job in the back was cleaning the fryer. They did NOT look like this. If I recall we changed oil every 3 days (it's been almost 40 years ago). There is no excuse why the gas controls below the vat are all dirty -- all of that should be kept clean daily. This fryer -- and the area around it -- is/was not properly maintained.
I work on 3 fryers at my restuarant and i have to clean those out literally every night after service. How long do you have to not clean it for it to become that filthy. My head chef would grill me if i ever skipped just once.
Cross Hairs yeah exactly- I work at a wetherspoon pub and we would be killed if any where let alone the fryers got that dirty- it’s not hard to maintain
We filter and wipe out the fryers every night. But that isn't comparable to a thorough boil out process. It only slows down your fryers getting dirty, but they WILL get dirty the longer you use that old grease, no matter how much you scrub them every night. EVERY restaurant only changes fryer oil once per week (some wait even longer), because fryer oil is REALLY expensive. If you are changing oil more than once per week, then your boss is an idiot who should be fired.
DeadlyDanDaMan or maybe he spends his income in the right places. I have been places that regularly change oil and they charge way more too but is it worth it? yes
We have 3 fryers so 1 for bear batterred fish, 1 for chicken schnitzels and the other on the highest heat for wings. And we change our oil out everyday and you have to especially when it comes to fish. You will know when oil is bad when the colour goes very dark.
Also, the oil should also be drained every 3-4 drops (multiple times a day. Breaded chicken will require more cleansing than french fries), depending on whats being cooked. It should be put into a 5 or so minute filter cycle to clean and increase the the life of the oil. While the oil is filtering the fryer should be scraped of grime, then use the filtering oil to take the scraped grime out of the fryer to be caught into the filter, before refilling the fryer in a cycle. Oil should be filtered while it is still hot, (about 300-375 degrees Fahrenheit). It looks like that fryer hasn't been cleaned at all in weeks. If they were filtering their oil every day they wouldn't need to replace it.
@@moneybags4036 OK i have been in the industry now for like 13 years. I don't think i've ever worked anywhere that cleaned their oil more than 1x every 3-4 days. They are all too high yeild and don't have the time for it. The only exception was the kitchen at college, On chicken wing night and some other heavy fry nights that fryer was equipped with an internal pump that could filter the fryer oil at max temp and pump it back into the fryer. Oil was still garbage at the end of the night frying enough wings for the entire campus but, without that filter, we'd have gone through so much oil.
@@moneybags4036 >Also, the oil should also be drained every 3-4 drops (multiple times a day. Breaded chicken will require more cleansing than french fries), PFFFFFHAHAHAHHAHAAHA. Get the fuck out of here. You have never set foot in a commercial kitchen.
@@moneybags4036 I filter my fryers at least 20 times a day, deep cleans every night, fresh filters twice a day, and fresh oil every 2 weeks. I also keep the outsides spotless, even during the busiest times. I don't think anyone has any real reason they can't keep their kitchens clean. I also retrained people to work faster and make less mess.
Great vid! I was in the shortening & oil business for 44 years and I’ve seen worse than this and fryers that were 10 years old but looked like they were just installed. Couple tips: 1) flush all The debris from the bottom, 2) after a good rinse take a one quart spray bottle add 3 to 4 oz. of distilled vinegar then spray down the interior. This a cheap insurance to neutralize any caustic (cleaner) give a quick clean water rinse. 3) dry the interior using paper towels. 4) if possible permit fryer to air dry with the drain valve open.
I worked at McDonalds, and I often did Fry Station Close and Setup's and NEVER were the stations THIS dirty. Stations were cleaned and the oil ran through a filter every morning. Vats were spotless. Even at the end of the day, the vats were always kept clean. Every few days the old oil was completely replaced and new shortening added. I will say this for the McDonalds I worked at, it was a meticulously clean place. Far cleaner than most restaurant kitchens I saw.. Admittedly this was back in the mid 80's tho
Stephen Faucette 41 people agreed with me. It's my opinion. That's the great thing of freedom of speech. Dont get hurt off of comments they are just words. Have a great rest of your weekend.
I wanted an explanation, not an excuse. How about you don't get hurt? Anyways it's not weird to me 'cause I've cleaned deep fryers before at my first job.
We filtered (sometimes twice) and and brush down the inside of our fryers and wipe down the outside every night, on the rare occasion we might skip a night because we were busy. We (I) would never get a fryer in the state that this video showed. Using the fryer's (hot) oil itself, scooped from the (catching) pot does a great job in lossening the bits and crust and is then easily scrubbed off with a brush, it may not be as "Shiny brand new off the factory look" but it may look dull but it's still clean.
Find this super satisfying, used to work in a kitchen and seeing a clean fryer with fresh oil was something i loved to see, but this would have made the process so much easier. Yeah i know im weird.
I've seen regular oils/shortenings do this if its really cold weather out and store them in places like a acement room with no heat coming in the room.
I don't know why this popped up on my youtube but I have cleaned MANY a fryer back 25-30 years ago lol. Hated doing it--I could almost smell the smell of the grease while watching this lol.
I remember watching this video 5 years ago to clean some nasty fryers. Those fryers are a lot cleaner now with one of their new products called Grease Lift. It’s an amazing product and makes 10 year old fryers look like new
This: Is the most disgusting kitchen I've seen in my LIFE. I sincerely hope that this kitchen was ONLY ever used for cleaning demonstrations, and not prep.
@@willsohrnberger2441 No. I have managed SEVERAL kitchens and this wouldn't fly at all under the right Chef. Just because you are used to working at nasty ass places doesn't mean it is the norm.
that works great INSIDE the fryer but want about OUTSIDE the fryer? I have a 3 inch build up on the outside steam release valve on the back of a big round fryer. I'll take a video tomorrow and post it to ask how to cure what I need cured.
@@Otiuqat When I worked at Hardee's you could eat out of the hood system. Cleaned the ovens daily, sanitized the entire kitchen and cleaned the hood out once a week. Where this is I don't know, its a disgrace how people don't do their jobs. I don't know what's up with this Ecolab system. It looks needlessly complicated.
BUSY FUK Culinary Major here and usually the guy everyone tells to clean the kitchen. It's safe, don't worry. The fryer cleaner MUST be rinsed off very well after draining and scrubbing. It's mandatory as it prevents it from clogging due to grease and fat that is a result of poor cleaning. Treat it well and it lasts you for a long time.
Many places don't tell you how to take care of their equipment and this should be done regardless. At where I work I don't think the fryer has ever been cleaned like this.
I also worked for them many years ago and when I wanted to have a nice dinner with my husband I would ask the salesmen who had a clean kitchen. Their products are the best. JH
I remember a few years ago, I started working at a local McDonalds as the Janitor/Maintnance guy. I hated cleaning the fryers. I had this one manager, that would work and intentionally shove me into the fryer while I was cleaning it. I told some people and they had told me well he's autistic and doesn't have situational awareness so no need to report him. Well that same manager walked in handcuffs to my new workplace, the county jail. Where I am the Sergeant, thus in being he was arressted for Assault at the same McDonald's. I find it to be justice served. Anyways I now know how to clean a fryer.
For me, I just use a laundry detergent powder and a bit of scrubbing and no need for a specialized fryer cleaner powder. It really brakes down the oil. Works for me.
Last place I worked at that included a fryer, it was cleaned at the end of the night before closing, every night. How long do you have to wait for your fryer to look THAT bad...
Anyone else was lying on bed and figured “sure why not, ill watch this fryer cleaning video”

Clean that whole kitchen

Thanks
Exactly

Step 10 clean the stove next to the fryer.
Swear. THey just need to tape off any electrical outlets and power wash the whole fuckin kitchen with hot water and degreaser.
Step elevan don't be a chumb just let me loose in there one late Friday night
Did they find the nastiest kitchen to make this video.
You would be surprised how many restaurants look like this. If not worse.
They cook food all day in it. What were you under the impression it looked like?
Chinese restaurants are not that hard to find.
Almost every restaurant fryer looks like this. They don't stay new looking for very long. Within about 3 days, that fryer will look disgusting again.
My first job at 16 was McDonalds and by job in the back was cleaning the fryer. They did NOT look like this. If I recall we changed oil every 3 days (it's been almost 40 years ago).

2:09 "Refill the fryerwith oil"
*Puts in milk*
I think it's fat/lard/ghee
it looks like this because of the temperature
Twas a joke, guys.

I believe that's creamy soybean oil, lasts longer than standard frying oil.

Why was the new oil at the end white? Looked like lard or melted shortening.
Grease strip is no joke. Use it to clean tons of stuff. Flat top. Fryer. Stove tops. Ovens.
For me, I just use a laundry detergent powder and a bit of scrubbing and no need for a specialized fryer cleaner powder. It really brakes down the oil. Works for me.
What is the last thing they add the end? It said "add oil" and it was a white liquid.
How often does a cleaning like this need to happen?
Did they clean the knobs though?
Why is this recommended to me, and why is this oddly satisfying.
Learning how to clean a fryer is essential to the quality of life. Education can wait.
This was strangely satisfying
Why is the oil at the end white????
why the end oil is white?
what is that powder sir?

I don't even a own a stove top, but I'll watch this cleaning thingy..why not.. I'm not sleeping untill 3am..
Why the new oil looks like that?
You have to fill the entire thing with water and let it dry 3x? This cleaning probably takes several years
