Ecostocker introduces Oil Chef
Awards nomination
Out of over 4,000 entries in the category of ‘Efficiency Innovation of the Year’ in the NRA awards UK we have been selected by an expert panel of judges to be in the final 7 final shortlist.
OilChef Frying Oil Extender is an innovative catalytic device designed to condition frying oils. It is designed to enhance the oils heat conductivity for faster cooking at lower temperatures resulting in longer oil usage and better food quality. The device catalytically inhibits thermal polymerization of the frying oil with the effects of slowing its quality deterioration. It de-clusters the lumped oil into finer form, improving heat conductivity that enables quicker cooking at lower temperature. It prevents oil from breaking down resulting in less harmful by- products in the oil.
Guarantee: Each product has a 2 year warranty and is known to have a life cycle of 3 years or more.
Financial ROI: Each product pays for itself through the savings in oil and energy and typically each unit over its lifetime (based on a 3 year cycle) will yield an ROI in excess of 300%.
The NFFF have taken a great interest in this innovation as they see it can save their 10,500 members a lot of money on cooking fuel, energy, environmental waste and enhance the health and quality of the deep fried food made today.
Economic Benefits: OilChef increases the safe usable life of frying oil by a minimum of 50% and has in some cases, tripled the life of the oil. The determining factors are the recipes of food cooked, volume of food cooked, temperature of food being cooked and whether or not the oil is filtered.
OilChef enables the cooking of food at a lowered temperature and reduces cooking time.
On average cooking times are reduced by 20 seconds and the temperature reduction is circa 15 degrees.
Reduced oil change cycles, faster turnaround time for customers.
Reduced oil top ups in each fryer as the food absorbs less oil.
When the cooking oil turns black and appears to be finished from a visual perspective, you can continue to cook perfect products for an extended period of time in this oil which would normally be discarded. The time to change your oil is now not based on oil colour, it is based on quality of food being produced in this black oil that would normally be discarded and possibly recycled.
Product Composition
The product is based on Nanotechnology.
Environmental Benefits: Helping you do your part
- OiLChef will lengthen the life of your frying oil
- Using less oil means reduced reliance on plantation-grown palm trees
- Using less oil means less damage to the environment from the disposal of old oil
- Using less oil means less damage to the environment from fewer oil drums and cans being disposed
- Using less oil saves trees
- Using less oil saves forest animals
- Using less oil means reduces carbon in the atmosphere
- Using less oil reduces waste like empty drums, cardboard boxes, plastic inner bags and pallets
- Using less oil means reduces the need for excessive road haulage, vehicle and factory fumes
- Using less oil reduces power requirements to maintain heat in the good oil
- It’s advanced technology to make your cooking oil last longer and taste better
- Using a lower cooking temperature reduces energy consumption and carbon footprint
Health Benefits: OiLChef reduces the amount of oil that is absorbed in deep fried food. This is a key point; the nanotechnology induces the oil to match the molecular charge of the food being fried, which creates a chemical repulsion that minimizes the amount of oil that clings onto the food, thereby producing a fried item that is less greasy, healthier, and tastier.
PR Benefits: Restaurants using OilChef technology in their restaurant can add further PR value to their brand by publically announcing that they are now more ecofriendly and health conscious.
Deep fried food has now an opportunity to be healthier than ever before using OilChef technology and also the reduced environmental impact.
