ensure the quality of the food
product. Careful observation of
the finished food product will
help you determine the optimal
filtering frequency.

each six loads of fresh breaded
chicken)

acids and many other
contaminants in the cooking oil,
allowing the oil to be used
longer before it must be
replaced. Wells Flavor Saver
