Energy-Saving Tips for Commercial Broilers

• Don't Get Overheated. Follow your commercial broiler manufacturer's preheating instructions, including; minimizing preheat times, which can waste energy, and avoiding preheating at unnecessarily high temperatures, which could alter the taste and quality of your food. Don't raise the temperature on your broiler during peak hours to increase production, because it's your energy use that will increase, while your food quality may suffer. Whenever possible, use infrared broilers that require no preheat time and can be turned off and then quickly reheated when called into action.
• Plan it Out. One of the most proactive things you can do to increase your energy-savings on your commercial broiler is organize your broiler activities. In addition to turning off all unused sections during slack times, you may be surprised to know that it isn't obligatory to have the entire broiler on even at peak periods. You can improve cooking consistency and increase your energy-savings by turning one section to full heat for rare meats and another section to a lower setting for well-done meats. And always, always remember: maximum capacity equals maximum efficiency, so fill 'er up!
• Don't Forget to Maintain. Maintenance on your commercial broiler involves: regular cleaning of the burners; emptying the grease pan; washing drip shields and grid; also, if needed, scraping the grid with a three-cornered metal scraper; and lastly, making sure openings and air shutters are clear. Handle ceramic refractor units with care, but they should be rearranged from time to time. Watch out for faulty burner operations – a clear flame with a distinctive inner cone is best. Also, flames should

    Help! My Boomers Are Retiring!
    Next time you've got a bunch of senior managers in a room together, ask those who are eligible to retire within five years to leave the room. Then figure out how you're going to replace them.That's an exercise I've done with senior management in a client company. A full third of the senior people in that room were eligible to take their pension and go within five years.This is not just a problem in the executive suite. Check out the senior people in sales. Check out the team leaders for key craft functions, the people who usually came up through union apprentice programs.There are several definitions of the Baby Boom and they all vary a little. But you're safe if you assume that it's people born between 1946 and 1964. In America, that's about 79 million people.The oldest boomers hit sixty in 2006. In 2011 they'll start hitting sixty-five.I call their exit "The Boomer Brain Drain." It's not likely that they'll all retire when they can and they certainly won't retire all at once, but enough of them could start heading for the exits soon enough that you'd better know how you're going

  Energy-Saving Tips for Commercial Fryers

  • Quick is the Name of the Game. Commercial fryers utilize a system of cooking where the heating element is in near or immediate contact with the fat or oil, and as a result, they require limited preheat times and recover very quickly. We, at Jean's Restaurant Supply, recommend that you follow the manufacturer's general rule of thumb, which is 7 to 15 minutes. Preheating any longer will only reduce your energy-savings. Also, don't assume that a higher preheat temperature will decrease your preheat time. On the contrary, it will not heat the fryer any faster, but in fact, could overheat the fryer and cause wasted energy and possible food spoilage due to excessive cooking temperatures. It's okay to turn down your fryer to an idling temperature during slow periods when it is not in constant use, and this also helps to extend oil life. Furthermore, resist the temptation to overload your baskets past the manufacturer's usual recommendation of one-half to two-thirds full. Overloading will not decrease energy costs; it will simply increase cook times and jeopardize food quality.
  • Drain and Strain. One of the most effective steps you can take to increase your commercial fryer's energy efficiency is to keep the oil as clean as possible. This means that you should regularly, maybe even daily, drain the oil from your fryer and process it through a commercial fryer filter. All fryers have a cold zone where the oil is not heated and the loose debris is allowed to settle. This is where you should remove the sediment from
