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.

#FAQFRYday 🍗💡 "Why is my chicken coming out too dark?"
If your chicken’s looking a little too golden… it might be your oil! 🔍
👨🍳 Pro Tip: It’s probably time to filter or replace your oil. Regular oil maintenance keeps your pressure fryer in top shape and your chicken perfectly crispy every time.
✅ Clean oil = Better taste, better color, better results!

#FAQFryDay: How do I clean my Broaster Ventless Fryer?
** Allow the unit to cool completely before cleaning or serious burns could occur.
1. Turn power off, disconnect from main power supply & remove access door
2. Remove the food basket & basket lift platform for easy cleaning.
3. Unlatch filter tray & pull tray out with your free hand under the tray & swing tray down 45º. With both hands, pull the tray out towards you.
4. Remove air filter & grease filter from filter tray; set air filter aside so it will not get wet while cleaning other parts. NOTE: The air filter has steam passing through it during the cooking process, let the air filter dry out overnight before reinstalling it into the filter tray.
5. Raise element by placing element arm above element retainer & allow oil to drip from it for a few minutes.
6. Carefully remove cooking pot, pour oil through strainer & filter paper or discard used oil properly. The cooking pot can be cleaned in the sink or dishwasher. When changing oil, soak cooking pot, food basket, & basket lift platform in Broaster’s Cooking Well Cleaner (99500) for a minimum of 15min to a maximum of 12hrs.
7. Remove splash tray for easy cleaning.
8. Wipe element guard & interior of chamber with clean cloth or paper towel to remove any crumbs. Clean walls, floor & ceiling of cooking chamber.
9. Completely clean outside panels with non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner & polish.
10. Product door, food basket, lift platform, cooking pot, filter tray, grease filter, and splash tray can be removed & placed in the dishwasher. If using a dishwasher or soap, you will need to neutralize parts with a vinegar & water solution. *There is no need to neutralize parts when cleaning with Broaster’s Cooking Well Cleaner (99500).
11. Place splash tray & reassembled filter tray back into unit. BE SURE magnet end of grease filter is on the right side of filter tray when in place. Return filtered oil or add fresh oil to Cold Oil Level Line. Replace cooking pot, lower the element into the cooking pot, replace basket lift platform & food basket. Unit is ready to operate.
