This summer, the Olympics has taken centre stage in Paris, as athletes from across the world came together to compete for sporting accolades. Now we know there isn’t (yet) a frying Olympics - but if there was such a thing, we know Prep would be top of the medal table, every time.
Prep’s high performance, long life frying oils are designed to compete in the marathon, not the sprint. Lasting up to three times as long as standard life oils, endurance is just one of the Prep range’s strengths.
Then there’s the standard of our finished products. Prep creates delicious, crispy fried foods that are head and shoulders above the rest. From taste to texture and value, Prep is a true contender!
Deep frying lends itself to so many of the summer’s biggest frying trends, from small plates to street food, and in-demand desserts.
Globally inspired bar snacks and small plates are really popular – from arancini to croquettes to Korean fried chicken, while fried sweet treats like churros are also all the rage.
If you’re looking to incorporate new trends into your menu, look no further than your deep fat fryer for some amazing (and surprisingly simple) inspiration.
The gold-standard test for whether you’re producing great fried food is the pinch a chip test. If your diners and their party are ready to nab a chip as soon as they arrive at the table, then you’re onto a winner!

When looking to attract and retain diners, your frying oil can make all the difference. It's the vital link between your equipment and your food, and what turns raw ingredients into delicious dishes, satisfied customers, great reviews and return customers.
In addition to cooking at the correct temperature and not overfilling the frying basket, the single most important thing you can do to ensure great fried food is to fry in oil which is within its quality window.
