Frequently asked

What are the Crumb Catcher™ sediment trays?

the Crumb Catcher™ is a custom sediment tray designed to work with most commercial floor models. They help extend the life of cooking oil by collecting food crumbs and debris.

How much can I save by using the Crumb Catcher™?

Using the trays can increase the use of your cooking oil by 25% to 50%, resulting in significant cost savings for restaurant owners.

How do I fit the tray for the first time?

Fitting is best when your fryer is empty, drained of oil, and cooled down. Remove the rack that comes with the fryer and check for sharp areas that could puncture the fine mesh — if any exist, leave the factory rack in and place the tray on top. We design with about a ¼" overall gap of wiggle room for ease of use.

How often should I empty the Crumb Catcher™?

For best results, empty the Crumb Catcher™ every hour, or more frequently depending on your business needs. This helps maintain the efficiency and cleanliness of the filter and frying oil.

How do I clean the Crumb Catcher™ sediment tray?

the Crumb Catcher™ sediment trays are easy to clean. They are dishwasher safe and can also be hand-washed in hot water with soap or degreaser. Ensure the sediment tray is completely dry before placing it back in your fryer. Scheduled cleaning of the sediment tray will avoid carbon buildup.

What materials are the Crumb Catcher™ made from?

the Crumb Catcher™ is made from 304 stainless steel material, including the handle, frame, and 550-micron fine mesh. The silicone sleeve handle is FDA-compliant.

Does the Crumb Catcher™ sediment tray chip and/or rust?

No, it's made from 100% stainless steel. Around the spot welding, discoloration is common due to high heat fusing the parts.

Are there any precautions to take when using the Crumb Catcher™ sediment trays?

After removing the manufacturer's rack, check for any sharp areas or objects that could puncture the fine mesh. If so, leave the rack inside and place the sediment tray on top. Always ensure the filter is cleaned and completely dry before reinstalling it into the fryer tank.
