Beyond the Chicken: Unconventional Uses for Broaster Equipment
For decades, the Broaster name has been associated with reliable, kitchen work-horse pressure fryers that crank out load after load of crispy, juicy fried chicken for our operators all over the world. Maybe it’s decades of history, or maybe it’s a connection to our Genuine Broaster Chicken trademark program, but when many think “Broaster,” they think “chicken.”
Granted, chicken does come out superior when cooked in a Broaster Pressure Fryer. It’s crispy and juicy, but not greasy, after all. However, we have witnessed our Broaster Equipment used in all sorts of “unconventional” ways to help our operators serve delicious products.
Tortilla Chips
Even the simplest of products can be improved in a Broaster Pressure Fryer. Our Operator in California facing rising labor costs needed a solution to help alleviate this increase in expense. Their solution: turn to a Broaster 1800 Pressure Fryer for frying their tortilla chips. Switching from an open fryer, the operator was able to cut their total tortilla chip frying time from 4 hours to 30 minutes. At $20 per hour, a 3.5 hour per day labor savings equated to almost $22,000 in annual labor savings alone. In addition, the reduced frying time and on-board oil filtration extended the life of their frying oil, cutting their oil requirements from 6 jugs per week down to 3 jugs per week. At $65 per jug, the result was over $10,000 in oil savings annually. Thinking beyond chicken saved this Operator nearly $32,000 per year just in labor and oil alone.
Smoked Tofu
A vegan chef in Seattle looking for large-scale production of smoked tofu turned to the Broaster Smokaroma Pressure Smoker for her manufacturing facility. The Smokaroma Pressure Smoker smoked tofu faster and more consistently than conventional smokers on the market, increasing her production capacity while still meeting her quality requirements.
Pork Chops
Pork: the other white meat. Although if not cooked properly, pork chops run the risk of being dry and flavorless. Broaster has several operators who have joined the fight against dry pork chops by frying them in a Broaster Pressure Fryer. With a light crispy crust on the outside and juicy on the inside, pork can be done to perfection in a Pressure Fryer. Plus, Broaster offers Ribite Marinade that can be used to marinade pork chops for perfectly seasoned, tender pork products.

Why do operators choose pressure frying? 🍗
✔️ More tender, juicy, and flavorful food
✔️ Less oil absorption and reduced overall oil usage
✔️ Greater food production per machine for a better return on investment
Broaster Pressure Fryers are designed to help operators deliver quality, consistency, and efficiency with every cook cycle.
That`s the power of pressure frying.

"There`s nothing better than a trip to the lake and some crispy Broaster Chicken." 🌊☀️🏖️
Operator Spotlight: @thelodgesouthhaven – South Haven, Michigan
Since 1940, The Lodge has been a staple in South Haven. Originally known as The Curve Inn, the restaurant was purchased by its current owners in 2019 and completely renovated before reopening in 2021. While the space was transformed, their commitment to serving Genuine Broaster Chicken® never changed.
Today, The Lodge is a scratch kitchen in the heart of Michigan`s blueberry country, serving homemade favorites alongside hand-breaded Genuine Broaster Chicken. They put a local twist on their menu with favorites like the Spicy Blueberry Chicken Sandwich. Their love for Broaster Chicken runs so deep that they even top their famous Loaded Lodge Bloody Mary with a Genuine Broaster Chicken tender. The combination of tradition, local flavor, and quality ingredients has made them a destination for both locals and visitors alike.
