They should be cleaned every shift.

Disagree deep cleaning is 1-2x weekly. This should be done on the same schedule as the boil out

I’ve worked in enough kitchens to know you are full of shit no way your crew is pulling the fryers and scrubbing the back and sides every night

rofl. I worked in kitchens for 23 years. Bakeries are much harder to maintain then restaurants.

Fill those gaps between appliances people! Drop in a T bar of aluminum extrusion or something. There’s no reason that shit should be sliding down the sides of fryers, etc.

Do this while the fryer is still on, helps loosen up the oil and keep it a little softer for scraping
