Archie’s ‘in the pink’ with Oil Chef
Each Archie’s store has between five and seven fryers in the kitchen area and each fryer holds around 30 litres of oil. As a business the consumption of oil is substantial and in the chicken fryers, the oil has historically been changed daily.
As Nuno states, the business uses a lot of oil, and they are always on the lookout for innovation to drive improvements. Visiting an exhibition in London, Nuno came across the OiLChef stand and saw the claims being made.
“To be honest, I was sceptical of the claims. Could this device really improve our food quality and save money on oil usage? I had a chat with Sean, OiLChef CEO and he suggested we do a trial. So, for one month we compared a fryer with OiLChef Vs one without the device and we monitored food quality and oil condition. After that trial, we couldn’t believe it. Food quality was excellent, and we reduced oil consumption by around 50%. We could cook at lower temperatures (around 10 degrees lower) and we reduced our cooking times by a couple of minutes per item.”
