    Fryers

    • Turn fryers off, or cover and reduce them to idling temperatures during slow periods.
    • Turn thermostats only as high as necessary to reach frying temperatures. Temperatures ranging from 325°F (163°C) to 350°F (177°C) are ideal in modern high speed fryers. If temperatures are too high, oil will break down.
    • Regularly check the temperature of cooking oil with a reliable commercial thermometer to ensure heating elements and thermostat controls work properly.
    • Regularly clean grease and food particles from exhaust hoods.
    • Energy cost savings for a high efficiency gas fryer will typically range from $100 to $500 per year.
    • Energy cost savings for a high efficiency electric fryer will typically range from $100 to $300 per year.
       

    Griddles     

    • Energy cost savings for a high efficiency gas griddle over a standard efficiency model will typically range from $100-$500 per year per 3 feet of griddle.
    • During slow periods, turn off as many griddle burners as possible, and turn down other sections.
    • Have your service contractor periodically check gas-griddle fuel mixtures and adjust pilot lights to their lowest possible flames.
