What was Broaster up to in 1954? 👀
The Broaster Company was formed through a partnership between Tom Payne, Walter Blakely, Jerold Spates & Jack Vos.
We began selling our line of specialty foodservice equipment, accessories, and proprietary marinades & coatings through a nationwide distributor network.
We officially trademarked “Broaster” and “Broaster Foods,” protecting the brand for authorized distributors and licensed operators using Broaster Pressure Fryers and signature seasonings.
The foundation for a legacy was set in motion. 🔥 #BetterBeBroaster #BroasterHistory #BroasterFoods #Broaster #PressureFryer

Since 1953, we’ve been cooking up more than just chicken! From our early days to today, Broaster has a rich history full of innovation, flavor, and milestones you might not know about. 🐔✨
Follow along as we share our journey from 1953 to 2026 and everything in between! Starting off strong with 1953, L.A.M. Phalen develops and patents the Broaster Pressure Fryer and the unique Broaster pressure frying concept. During this time, Flavor Fast Foods is formed under the leadership of Phalen and is staffed by people associated with Tekni-Craft, manufacturers of the Taylor Freezer line. #BetterBeBroaster #BroasterHistory

Ever wondered what makes Broasted Chicken different from regular fried chicken? 🤔
It’s all in the pressure frying. Cooking chicken in a Broaster Pressure Fryer locks in flavor and juiciness that ordinary frying can’t match. 🍗✨
And fun fact:
👉 “Broasted®” and “Broaster™” are trademarked, meaning only operators using our equipment and recipes can call their chicken Broasted. #BetterBeBroaster
