How to choose the best oil for deep frying?

Choosing the right oil for deep frying is crucial to achieving professional-quality dishes with a crispy, delicious texture. At PrimeChef, we know that both chefs and businesses in the culinary industry seek optimal results, and that's why we offer oils specifically designed to meet those needs.

Below, we address the key aspects of selecting the best oil, how to handle it, and how to optimize its performance in the professional kitchen.

The importance of the type of oil for frying

When choosing cooking oil , you should consider several factors that will impact the final result, such as the type of food, temperature, and cooking time. PrimeChef , our deep frying oils have been formulated to maintain stability even at high temperatures, thus offering a reliable solution adapted to professional needs.

Our products, such as Deep Fry Level 01 and Deep Fry Level 02, are composed of carefully selected blends that guarantee crispy, high-quality frying . These oils offer a high smoke point and resistance to oxidation, essential factors to prevent the oil from degrading and developing undesirable flavors.

What is smoke point and why is it important?

The smoke point is the temperature at which an oil begins to break down, manifesting itself with the release of visible smoke, affecting the flavor and quality of the food itself. For professional deep-frying , it's essential to choose oils with a high smoke point , as this minimizes the risk of oxidation and rancidity by delaying the smoke point .

PrimeChef It offers options such as Deep Fry Level 01 with a smoke point of 220ºC, ideal for maintaining stability during the frying process. This product, composed of 50% soy and 50% canola, allows for quality commercial frying , ideal for long and repetitive cooking times without losing its properties.

Meanwhile, Deep Fry Level 02 , made from 100% canola, also has a smoke point of 220°C, ensuring high performance and less flavor degradation.

How to handle deep frying oil?

To maximize the use and performance of your deep-frying oil , it's essential to maintain proper temperature control and avoid sudden temperature changes. We also recommend following these practices:

1. Avoid overheating: Maintain the ideal cooking temperature to avoid reaching the smoke point (220 °C).
2. Filter your oil regularly: This helps remove residue that can affect the flavor and quality of the oil.
3. Store it properly: After each use, store the oil in a cool, dark place to prolong its shelf life.

He Deep Fry Level 01 and Deep Fry Level 02 PrimeChef 's oils are formulated with antifoams, which help reduce excess bubbling and maintain oil clarity longer. These oils are perfect for achieving clean, even frying , essential in commercial frying .

How to get crispy, professional frying?

The crispiness of fried food depends on the type of oil and the cooking technique. To achieve a crispy, professional-quality fry , consider the following:

1. Constant Temperature: The ideal temperature for deep frying is usually between 175 and 190°C. Maintaining this range helps the oil quickly seal the food, achieving a crispy texture.
2. Oils with a low percentage of saturated fats: PrimeChef oils , such as Deep Frying Level 02 , has only 8% saturated fat, allowing for a lighter and healthier finish, which when fried, does not feel heavy, like other oils.
3. Avoid overcooking the fryer: Frying large quantities at once reduces the oil temperature, affecting the final texture of the food, since the lower the temperature, the greater the absorption of oil into the product.

PrimeChef It also offers the Select Blends line , a combination of canola and extra virgin olive oil that provides a unique flavor, ideal for those seeking a crunchy texture with a distinctive touch of flavor. Its smoke point of 215°C and resistance to oxidation ensure consistent, high-quality performance.

How to achieve high-quality commercial frying?

Quality commercial fried food is one that remains consistent in flavor, texture, and presentation, dish after dish. To achieve this level, it is vital to choose oils that withstand multiple cooking cycles and offer adequate resistance to oxidation.

PrimeChef guarantees high-strength oils, such as Deep Fry Level 02 , which withstands up to 25 hours of oxidation, ensuring uniform and long-lasting frying .
