How often should you boil out a deep fryer?
Routine general cleans should always be carried out daily. How often you do a full fryer boil out depends on various factors such as the level of operation, size of the fryer, the type of oil used and your oil management and oil filtration standards. Provided your oil is regularly filtered and stabilized by a knowledgeable fry oil manager, a boil out should be done after every few oil changes or at least once a month.
High-use fryers in restaurants with large food output may need to be boiled out more regularly – at least once weekly.

Although these same steps will almost always apply, read the care and maintenance instructions supplied by the manufacturer on the proper cleaning and running of your fryer.
Step 1:
Remove the baskets from your deep fryer, turn it off completely and leave it to cool down. The oil should be no warmer than 170′ F before proceeding.
Step 2:
Drain the now cool oil from the deep fryer into a stainless steel oil storage container for safe and proper disposal or recycling.
Step 3:
Use a crumb scoop and fryer drain cleaning brush to remove any leftover debris from the fryer and fryer drain. Use a fryer cleaning rod to dislodge debris from hard to reach places.
Step 4:
Use a scrub brush to scrub the walls and base of the inside of the fryer. Get rid of as much debris as you can.
Step 5:
Once the fryer and drain is free of debris, fill the fryer to the level line with cool water and add your chosen fryer boil out cleaner. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer to ensure you use the right amount for your size fryer. Do not overfill the fryer.
Step 6:
Turn your fryer back on and let the water and cleaning solution boil for around 15 – 20 minutes. If the fryer is particularly dirty, leave it up to 30 minutes.
Tip: After filling the fryer and adding your chosen boil out cleaner in step 5, scrub debris off your fryer baskets and utensils and put them back into the fryer to be cleaned during the boil out process for an extra good degreasing.
Step 7:
Proceed to turn the fryer off and leave the water and cleaner solution to cool down.
Step 8:
Once cooled, drain the water from the fryer into an appropriate container and dispose of it.
Step 9:
After draining, thoroughly wipe down the whole interior of the fryer with a lint-free cloth. If needed, use the scrub brush and cleaning rod again to scrub off any last remnants.
Note: If you left your fryer baskets in the fryer during boil out, remove them for additional cleaning or drying. Make sure they are dry before putting them back into your fresh oil. NEVER add wet items into hot oil.
Step 10:
Use a rinsing agent to rinse the fryer, and then rinse thoroughly a final time with water. Make sure the fryer is rinsed thoroughly so as to not leave any residue that may affect the quality of your oil or leave a taste. Your boil out is now complete!
