Checking Fryer
Recovery Rate —
Weekly
The fryer recovery rate check is necessary to determine if the
fryer is heating correctly. During start-up, using a stopwatch
or a watch with a second hand, start timing once the display
reads
.
275°F
135°C. When the fryer reaches
300°F
121°C,
stop and note the length of time the fryer took to heat up.
Compare this to the ideal recovery range.
If the time is higher
than the maximum recovery range, contact maintenance.
If
the fryer does not recover in the allotted time, the product will
not be cooked to KFC standards. Do not use fryer until
situation is corrected. Call maintenance.
