5.02 Boil-Out Procedure - Cleaning the Fry Vat
The following explains using the Boil‐Out process to clean the cook vat. This procedure must be performed before
cooking on new equipment, and should be performed immediately each time after waste cooking oil is removed
from the fryer, before refilling with fresh oil.
For proper maintenance and to ensure satisfactory operation and food quality, the process should be performed, at
a minimum, every 7 to 10 days.

preventive action may be needed to prevent a rolling boil and vat overflow. A rolling boil is
NOT required for proper cleaning action.
