LOV frying is an open frying method developed to help operators control the rising cost of cooking oil. Oil is the single most expensive component in high-volume frying—outpacing even equipment, service, and labour. To tackle this challenge, manufacturers like Henny Penny developed Low Oil Volume frying technology, designed to reduce oil use without sacrificing performance or product quality.
Start with 40% Less Oil in the Vat
LOV fryers use much less oil compared to a standard fryer. The Henny Penny Evolution Elite® series can cook the same amount of food using up to 40% less oil. This is achieved through smarter vat design, frequent filtering, and automatic replenishment. Think of it like the difference between taking a shower (LOV frying) or a bath (standard frying), where the bath drains away a whole tub of water when you’re done.
Top Off Frying Oil Automatically
The Evolution Elite is equipped with an auto top-off system, ensuring oil levels stay in the “sweet spot” at all times. This means operators don’t have to manually monitor oil or risk product being cooked in less-than-ideal conditions. Automatic top-off also improves consistency across every batch.
Save Big with Longer-Lasting Oil
LOV fryers continuously filter oil and replace only what’s needed. Frequent filtering, combined with top-off and advanced oil management, extends the usable life of your oil—delivering savings of thousands of dollars per year in oil costs alone.
Safer, Smarter, More Efficient Operations
LOV technology isn’t just about oil savings:
- Cool-zone design keeps crumbs and debris from burning, which protects oil and improves food quality.
- Automatic filtration makes it easier for staff to maintain oil, saving time and reducing labour costs.
- Built-in safety features reduce the risk of spills or burns, helping protect your team.
- Energy efficiency: Less oil volume means faster heat-up and recovery times, so food cooks quickly and consistently with less wasted energy.
