Drain oil, lay cooker on its side and hose out – or – fill fryer with water and heat, take flexible spatula or scraper and get under the
heating device and scrape, drain water and remove excess water form the inside of the cooker with a sponge or dry cloth. Make sure you spray with a nonstick cooking spray to prevent rusting.

Use a drain hose and a fine mesh filter,
such as a paint filter or a kitchen strainer and drain back into storage container.

HOT oil can be drained into a METAL oil storage container. If you allow oil to cool to 100 degrees, you can put it back in the plastic container, then store in a cool dry location.

350 degrees is a good temperature for frying most foods. You may adjust accordingly to how crispy you like your food. Frozen french fries can be cooked at a little higher temperature.

Propane tank can be stored in storage rack on all cookers. Note on FFI and FF2 units; locate the tank on ledge under shelf and hold in place with bungee straps.

At the Spring Fishing Classic’s, we cooked at a number of Bass Pro Shops. We used the same oil at all events – we prepared over
400 pounds of food. The oil was still producing wonderful food.

All types of oil can be used. Most people use vegetable oil. Peanut oil is good, but some people have allergies to peanuts, so vegetable oil is usually safest when cooking for a large crowd.

Starting with the 6 gallon size; 6 gallon will cook 1 turkey at a time, 8 1/2 gallon – 2 at a time, 12 gallon/ 4 basket 2 at a time, 12 gallon – 3 at a time and 17 gallon – 4 at a time.

12 – 13 – When you inject a turkey, the butter seasoning and juice will get into your oil as it cooks and affects the quality of your oil. After cooking 12 – 13, you will need to inspect the oil and determine if you can cook anymore. But we recommend
12 -13 to be safe.

3 ½ minutes per pound @350 degrees.

NOT RECOMMENED because injectable marinade gets into oil and will affect taste and quality.

Contact Cajun Fryer and we will ship you the natural gas jet. You will need to contact your natural gas supplier to find out what type of plumbing and regulator you will need in your area. Natural gas regulators and propane regulators are different.
They will not interchange. Natural gas does not burn as hot as propane, so the oil will take longer to get hot.
