Which Henny Penny Fryer is Best for You?

When it comes to frying, the right equipment makes all the difference. Whether you run a high-volume QSR, a full-service restaurant, or a grocery store deli, choosing the right fryer can improve food quality, reduce oil costs, and streamline kitchen operations.

Henny Penny offers a range of state-of-the-art fryers designed to meet the unique needs of foodservice businesses. But with so many options available—open fryers, pressure fryers, and models with advanced filtration—it can be tough to determine which one is best for your operation. Fortunately, the Henny Penny “Find Your Fryer” tool makes the decision easy.

How Does the “Find Your Fryer” Tool Work?

This simple tool walks you through a series of questions about your business, menu, and kitchen setup to recommend the ideal fryer for your needs. Here’s how it helps:

The Henny Penny Journey: From a Single Fryer to Global Innovation

By

whispering oak

The history of Henny Penny is long. In 1954, nestled in the heart of Eaton, Ohio, Chester Wagner, owner of Whispering Oak restaurant, faced a challenge: he wanted to serve more chicken, faster. With ingenuity and a clear vision, he crafted a solution—a better fryer. This innovation not only transformed his kitchen but laid the foundation for Henny Penny, a company launched in 1957 that would revolutionize commercial kitchens worldwide.

3 Ways Our Henny Penny Fryers Maintain Food Quality

By

In the fast-paced world of commercial kitchens, maintaining top-notch food quality is crucial. Henny Penny’s blog, “3 Ways Commercial Fryers Help Restaurants Maintain Food Quality,” outlines three key ways in which commercial fryers play a vital role in achieving this goal.

Precise Temperature Control:

Evolution Elite

Commercial fryers are masters of temperature precision. They ensure that oil remains at the perfect temperature, guaranteeing consistent cooking results. This accuracy means your fried foods come out crispy and golden every time, delighting customers with their taste and appearance.

Fast Recovery Time:

When the kitchen gets busy, every second counts. Commercial fryers boast rapid recovery times, swiftly returning the oil to the desired cooking temperature after food is submerged. This quick turnaround ensures that your dishes are cooked evenly and retain their delicious flavors, even during the busiest rushes.

Oil Filtration and Management:

oil costs

Depending on what type of cooking oil you purchase, a JIB will now run you as much as four times what you paid in 2019. So, today you’ll pay between $40 and $100 for a JIB of cooking oil and that’s wholesale pricing.

High-quality fryers take oil management seriously. They come equipped with features like automatic filtration, which extends the life of the cooking oil and reduces waste. By efficiently removing debris and maintaining oil quality, these fryers contribute to consistent food taste and texture while also saving costs. This free Filter Frequency Calculator will help you determine the ideal filtration frequency for your restaurant. Additionally, Henny Penny’s Prime Cleaner product is a game-changer when it comes to extending your oil life.

Their precise temperature control, fast recovery times, and effective oil management make them indispensable tools for ensuring that every dish served is consistently delicious and satisfying.

Why Your Commercial Kitchen Needs A Pressure Fryer And Heated Holding Cabinet

By

Are you looking to ramp up efficiency in your commercial kitchen without expanding your team? You’re in luck! Henny Penny’s article, “Why Your Commercial Kitchen Needs A Pressure Fryer And Heated Holding Cabinet,” offers some game-changing insights. Let’s unpack the key points.

The Dynamic Duo: Pressure Fryers and Holding Cabinets

This article spotlights a dynamic kitchen combo: pressure fryers and heated holding cabinets. Why this pairing? Well, pressure fryers excel in locking in moisture and flavor of fried chicken, making them an essential piece for any high-volume kitchen. They cook quickly, maintain quality, and seal out excess oil.

But that’s just half the story! Heated holding cabinets enter the scene to keep that freshly fried chicken perfect for hours. They’re not just warming boxes; they’re sophisticated pieces of equipment that maintain temperature and moisture, ensuring your chicken stays fresh, juicy, and ready-to-serve.

Less Staff, More Efficiency

One of the biggest wins? This combo allows for batch cooking. You fry a bunch of chicken in advance and then keep it ready in the holding cabinets. This means during rush hours, you’re not scrambling. Instead, you’re efficiently serving up delicious, hot chicken.

Boost Throughput, Reduce Waste

Batch cooking isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about smart management. It helps increase throughput, especially important when balancing dine-in and delivery orders. Plus, it significantly reduces food waste – a crucial factor in today’s eco-conscious world.

Pressure Fryers and Holding Cabinets; A Perfect Match

At Henny Penny, pressure fryers and holding cabinets are designed to work seamlessly together. This integration means better food quality, increased safety, and a smoother process for your staff. Incorporating a pressure fryer and heated holding cabinet into your commercial kitchen is more than an upgrade – it’s a strategic move towards operational excellence. Want to dive deeper?
