Gold standard frying - essential for the summer’s hottest frying trends!
14th August 2024
One of the biggest current trends in deep frying is globally-inspired dishes.
Our own recent survey* of over 650 people across the US, UK and Sweden revealed that the majority of people in all three areas are adventurous when it comes to eating out – with over 80% likely to try new cuisines.
Countries and cultures all across the world use deep frying as a method to create unique and crowd-pleasing dishes.
If you’re looking for ways to attract customers this summer, who may be out enjoying watching sports or catching up with loved ones, there are so many world dishes you can make great use of your fryer for!
Small plates, sharing platters and street foods are all extremely in demand - and with Prep, you can deliver perfect results, every time.
Established world food favourites like calamari, tempura prawns and halloumi fries are as popular as ever with diners - but new fried food trends are emerging - such as arancini, croquettes and Korean fried chicken, while fried sweet treats like churros are also all the rage.
Then there are really new on-trend fried foods - such as Japanese double-fried Karaage chicken and Malaysian Karipap (or curry puffs) which will definitely get mouths watering!
A mainstay of any menu, however, is the humble fried potato snack. According to our survey, fries topped the charts in this category, with 41% of people across all three regions favoring simple French fries over the sweet potato variety, skin-on frites, curly fries, and both chunky and triple-cooked chips.
Whatever you choose to put on your menu, if you want the delicious flavours of your globally-inspired dishes to shine through, the quality of your frying oil is key.
Prep’s long-life, high-performance frying oils are perfectly placed to deliver the high-quality results you need.
Not only will our range help you save money in your kitchen, as you need to buy less Prep for your fryer since it needs changing less often than standard life oil, but Prep is great for food - and we can help you to get the best results from your fryer too.
As the world gathers together for a summer of sport, have you considered what constitutes gold-standard frying?
While it’s essential you are cooking foods at the correct temperature, don’t overfill the frying basket, and skim for food particles, the single most important thing you can do to ensure great fried food is to fry in oil which is within its quality window.
At Prep, our expert insights can support you to get the best out of your oil, so to find out how we can help you save money, while delivering perfect results with your fryer, make sure you get in touch.
