“Frylow paid for itself in four months and slashed our oil bill by 47%. We no longer dread oil-change day.” — Chris L., QSR Owner, Chicago

The Hidden Costs of Frying Oil

Smart kitchen budget optimization means looking beyond the oil purchase price. Restaurants see the purchase price on every invoice, yet other expenses lurk below the surface. With commodity markets in turmoil—some fry-oils seeing double-digit increases year-over-year—these costs are only getting worse. A single 50-lb fryer can consume more than $17,000 annually when you factor in:

  • Direct spend: 35-lb jugs now average $45—using four per week costs $9,360 yearly
  • Labor costs: Staff time changing oil twice weekly adds up fast
  • Disposal fees: Haulers charge per pickup with rising surcharges
  • Equipment wear: Acidic, degraded oil accelerates expensive fryer repairs

With commodity prices continuing their upward climb, these costs are only getting worse. Qualify for a free trial to see how much you could save.

How Frylow Technology Works

Frylow cost reduction device with packaging for commercial kitchens.

Yes, it sounds too good to be true. We get that reaction from every restaurant owner. But here’s the science:

Frylow is a ceramic device with multiple tiles that sits in your fryer. Special minerals inside the tiles stop oil from breaking down by catching the harmful particles that make oil go bad.

Here’s what happens:

  1. Keeps oil fresh – The minerals extend oil life by helping oil molecules stay stable longer
  2. Prevents breakdown – Oil stays cleaner and less thick/sticky
  3. Better cooking – Fresher oil cooks food more evenly and faster

No electricity, no chemicals, no moving parts. Just drop it in your fryer and keep using your normal oil filtering routine.

Installation is simple: Place the device in your fryer’s cold zone when oil is cool. No technician required. You’ll see bubbling for about 5 minutes as it activates, then you’re ready to cook.
