Choosing Henny Penny Filter Paper - Straight from the Source: Why Choosing an OEM Henny Penny Filter Matters

Whether you’re frying up a classic dish, like your famous fried chicken, or exploring today’s modern tastes with a deep-fried candy bar, a fryer is one of the most valuable assets in a commercial kitchen. We teamed up with our partners at Henny Penny, manufacturer of some of the best fryers in the biz, to filter through the details about why choosing a genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) filter is really essential to optimizing the performance and increasing the longevity of a Henny Penny Fryer.

The Challenge

When you risk choosing a generic filter instead of an OEM filter, there will be a steep price to pay — we are talking increased equipment downtime, costly service calls, part replacements and less delicious food.

Generic filters that were not tested by Henny Penny can put a strain on your fryer pump and motor, and can allow large particles to pass through the filter pump system. This can cause damage to the pump, leave the oil dirty and unsafe and diminish the taste and quality of food. Nobody likes burnt-tasting french fries. Using the wrong filter can also cause your oil filtration system to become clogged, which could ultimately lead to major pump damage.

The Solution

Not to worry, you can easily avoid all that drama by changing your oil filter every day, using a Henny Penny filter, of course, and by following your preventive maintenance schedule.

Henny Penny filters are designed to remove food particles and return clean oil to the vat for cooking.

“When you buy genuine Henny Penny filters, you can be sure that an engineer at our factory has performed extensive testing on it. These tests ensure your fryer’s filter system will continue to operate at peak performance and reliability while also helping you preserve your cooking oil for great tasting food.” 

Jim Anglin, Director of Parts & Supplies, Henny Penny
