The Cajun Fryer is a safer, commercial grade outdoor fryer unit.
A Cajun fryer is an outdoor propane frying unit that was designed with customer safety in mind. The fire burns inside the metal heating tubes that run through the oil. Any fire is really in the back or side of the unit. Any oil spillage that can and will occur will be from the front of the unit. Therefore, neither fire nor oil would ever touch. This creates a much safer cooking environment. The slippers are made of durable, long-lasting construction, nickel-plated, and have plastic-coated cool-touch handles. Protective gloves are always appropriate when using hot oil, but cool-touch handles are a great added feature.
The burner sits 6″ above the bottom of the oil reservoir and is at a 45 degree angle. This prevents food sediment from collecting on the burner and allowing it to fall to the bottom of the bin. Since heat rises, the specially designed V-bottom reservoir never gets hotter than 120 degrees. This is not hot enough to burn or burn food residue. This helps keep the oil clean after multiple uses. When the oil stays cleaner, food always tastes good and never chars or burns. As I said, the heat rises, so the fire in the tubes will heat the oil above in the cooking chamber to a sufficient temperature to fry any type of food. Since the sediment at the bottom does not burn, you can double the life expectancy of your oil. You should strain the oil after about every 5 uses, but you won’t need to change the oil after 25-30 uses. That’s roughly a 70% reduction in oil use. You can recover your investment in oil in a short time. An added economic plus.
The larger units have multiple baskets, for alternate cooking. Some of the units have 2 separate cooking compartments. That way, whether you are at home, riding or camping, you have the option of using only one side of the unit instead of both, ie half the oil. You could cook fish on one side and chips on the other. We all know that fish like to leave their flavor with oil. That way you can keep your separate fish oil just for fish and hush pups, and have the other side for other foods. You can always remove the baskets too and use it as a turkey fryer. You take out the slippers, place the turkey in 350 degree oil, breast side up. You can cook a 10 to 14 pound turkey in about 3 1/2 minutes. per pound. Rotate the bird for the last 15 minutes. of cooking Scoop it out with straps and/or a long-handled fork. Put it to drain for 10-15 minutes. and serve.
Units come with a rolling cart for portability. Some of the smaller units can be detached from the caddy for use as a tabletop unit or for later tracking. They can also be made in stainless steel if you prefer. This is especially great for fire department kitchens or diner style trailers.
The smallest unit is a single basket unit and holds 2 12 gallons of oil. This is good for the home and very small back doors. You could feed 12-15 people per hour. The largest unit has 2 8 12 gal separators. fryers in one unit. So you can serve 65-70 people per hour using only half, or you can have both sides work and serve up to 150 people per hour. That’s a lot of wings and fries.
If you are using one of these units for a commercial application, it is advisable to drain the oil before moving. This involves letting the oil cool down a bit, but the drain valves are very helpful. You can connect one end of the spigot to the radiator hose and drain into a clean metal pail. Seal it up, put on your gloves, place the can in a storage spot in your vehicle, and you’re on your way.
