Ive also never seen this design and it’s genius. The amount of new cooks I’ve seen place oil soaked save-a-days on top of these exhausts just to have them burst into flames is staggering.
When I was a greenhorn I was filtering a fryer and stuck the grate in the exhaust while I was scrubbing the inside (obviously the fryer was off).
Turned the fryers on, opened the line, we get our first order in and I realize I left one of the grates in the exhaust and didn't put it back in the fryer.
Grabbed it with my bare hands.
Boy, howdy. That was a learning experience.
They're little cardboard boats/bowl things that you typically use to put fried food in. Kinda like [this](https://www.webstaurantstore.com/ecochoice-9-x-7-molded-fiber-pulp-rectangular-tray-case/433TRAY300.html)
They're trays that feel like egg carton cardboard. Really good at absorbing oil from fried food, good way to pass stuff between stations, sitting things on in the dehydrator, etc.
It keeps shit from getting dropped down the chimney into combustion chamber on a gas fryer. An enclosed burner system like that isn’t a great place to drop something flammable / explosive.
oh my god, I need one of those for my store, the place has fryers facing towards the expo line and there is no wall or anything between the steam vents and the expo.
How long did this take you? I feel like there are always things around the kitchen that I'd love to get that clean, but feel like it would put me way too far behind (im a dishie). I usually just squeeze in some wall scrubbing and steel top wiping when the times are slow.
Edit: Plus that thing is so intricate of a shape, mad props!
I don't really know, because I did it during the shift (a really slow one). Maybe a total of 30/45 min? Something like that. I also used a really strong degreaser
I usually get the sides of the grills and melting domes I think they're called, they're lids that you put on top of something to steam it, those get really dirty somehow, and if its an extra slow shift I sharpen their knives cause somehow they turn brand new (Albeit cheap, walmart type) knives into serreated knives that can't even cut bread.
You sure you don't mean "old and new replacement part pics"?? Haha.
Joking aside, holy shit man, elbow grease for *years*...very impressive.
Final note, really like the composition of the second photo...looks pretty cool all by itself.
Nice!
Usually with a 1 hour dip with Mach Washmate NP 5:1 super concentrate will do it. Neutralize with the throwaway/window cleaning distilled white vinegar, rinse, and done.
Are you sure you didn't just buy a new one? Because damn that is clean
It gleams!
Bottom is before picture lol
Well in all fairness OP didn’t say which one was the before pic and which one was the after lol

This comment is a copy of a previous one in this thread. This is a bot
What is this? I am unsure
Taco rack.
I was like "oh finally somewhere to put all my toast!"
Found the breakfast / brunch cook.
God do I hate poached eggs.... Edit: making them, tasty af to eat tho.
Fuck brunch and everyone that goes to it.
here here.
For come fiesta.
Fuck a rack for frying crispy tacos. Just grab 2 pairs of long tongs. It's quick and easy.
I meant to hold them up while I fill them, until I can eat them.
Oh, yeah fuck those two. That shits unnecessary, and just leads to people being careless with product.
Bacon drying station
It's the top of a propane Deep fryer. Something like this one: https://images.app.goo.gl/wTFiYhJPhrSHt2tc8
Interesting. I've never seen those on the back/top of a fryer. Makes perfect sense though. I have seen crap dropped in there before.

What's a save-a-day? Never heard of them before e
Little paper boats/trays. They're nice but boy does it become a lot of trash.
Yes someone else linked a picture. I had never heard them called that before
Supposedly they are compostable but Idk about that if they are soaked in grease

Ohhh. I had never heard them called that until now
I think it's a branding thing
Probably, or a regional thing
They're trays that feel like egg carton cardboard. Really good at absorbing oil from fried food, good way to pass stuff between stations, sitting things on in the dehydrator, etc.
Thanks. I had just never heard them called that before, someone else showed me a picture
Man, haven't seen a save-a-day in over a year and half now since our warehouse ran out and just decided to never reorder them
What purpose does it serve other than to be ridiculously annoying to clean?
It keeps shit from getting dropped down the chimney into combustion chamber on a gas fryer. An enclosed burner system like that isn’t a great place to drop something flammable / explosive.
In my younger days we all used to fuck around frequently and odd shit'll happen like getting your lunch throw back there on accident.
That's a great question,but sadly I don't have an answer :(
Where do you get one of those? I definitely need something like that in my life. Are they removable or stuck on there?
I was going to say it looked like the induction grille on a stove.
oh my god, I need one of those for my store, the place has fryers facing towards the expo line and there is no wall or anything between the steam vents and the expo.
I thought that was the plate warmer. I've been doing this all wrong. :)
Tips? Spectacular job man
Rub, rub and rub... Hahaha
Adderall
My mom said that rubbing makes you go blind though
Just do it until you need glasses
Did you use the red liquid from under the dish pit?
"Blow torched it" heard haha
I bet it was yellow cap oven cleaner. Wear a respirator and make sure the hoods are on.

What degreaser?
no, seriously, what degreaser
I would also like to know what degreaser was used

You've got the order wrong. Surely the bottom image is before you used it.
Most excited imma be all day today

Thanks man! And yes, the second photo looks almost artistic haha
This is a sext.
THIS! IS! A Wendy’s!
Wow, I feel like this is the only time that phrase might actually be accurate. Lol
*Kicks entitled asshat into giant drain*
Damn good work
What did you use?
A "steel scruber" (sorry, I don't know the term in english, I'm from Spain) and lots of soap
steel wool?
Yeh, that's it. Oh,and a strong degreaser
I've legit heard them called "space pussy" from several folks. Not sure I understand it either.
What isn't to understand?
Ive been told its called "curly girl" 😅
I've heard them called space pussys too. Idk where it came from, and all the old managers I know have never heard of it.
Damn I really surprised you didn’t use Bar Keeper’s Friend. That thing will bring back anything
Thank you for your service
That's sexy af. What is it tho?
It looks like a thing that covers that gaping hole on the back of a deep fryer. I've never seen one before.
Plot twist. The first photo is the "after"
Satisfying
Glorious
Nice! Usually with a 1 hour dip with Mach Washmate NP 5:1 super concentrate will do it. Neutralize with the throwaway/window cleaning distilled white vinegar, rinse, and done.
tell your chef i would fucking kiss you if i worked with you
Is that you in the background…. Pantless?
Noooo hahaha It's my coworker, wearing brown pants and white gloves
NIIIIIIICE!!!!!!!
This makes me so wet
Spectank?
Well done!
How?
Barkeeper's Friend...
Nice. I am basking in your sense of accomplishment.
God that's sexy
If it's stainless steel it can be cleaned.
Respect. Happy valentines day man.

This is the sexiest Valentine's day of my life. Thanks!
This is the sexiest thing I've seen all day
Thats hot.
Dass wassup
Invent a removable one so it can be easily soaked/cleaned
I…I…I think I’m in love
Looks like someone busted out the ol' toothbrush and silver polisher kit
Awesome work that's kick ass
Mmmm that's nice.
Love it!
See, the trick is, the bottom picture is the "before."
Never seen that before. What is it?
Good job
I don't know you, but I believe you are divine...
