What is Frylow?
Frylow is a patented Japanese photo catalytic ceramic device infused with 7 NSF approved precious and semi-precious metals.
Fry-oil use induces molecule bonding (“clumping”), resulting in oil thickening, oxidation, and soggier fried food.
Frylow’s photo catalytic technology works at the molecular level that slows down the fry-oil’s oxidation (loss of electrons) process by recharging it with new electrons and by increasing the oil’s thermal conductivity. This lowered oil viscosity (thinner oil) is now thermally efficient and can transfer more heat from the oil to the food. This decreases oil absorption that produces lighter, crispier, and tastier fried product.
Frylow’s ingenious design of high-performance ceramic tiles uses UV light to infuse fry- oil with these new electrons (without using electricity or chemical additives) that are negatively charged so the oil and food will tend to repel each other, thereby reducing oil penetration of the food.
Place the easy-to-use Frylow in any commercial fryer (below the fry baskets) and leave it there. It requires no electricity and has no moving parts. Frylow works by just resting in the fry-oil, with no recurring costs.
Fry Oil Usage in Canada – Key Stats & Insights
Canada's restaurants are drowning in oil costs, with production at 4.8 million tonnes in 2024 but prices still crushing kitchen budgets. When you're changing fryer oil 2-3 times per week and dealing with disposal headaches, those costs add up fast. Plus, every health inspector and sustainability audit is breathing down your neck. Smart fry-oil systems can cut this waste significantly while maintaining food quality. Unlike any fry-oil filter, Frylow actually slows oil breakdown.
Frylow fixes what's actually killing Canadian kitchens: oil costs destroying your food cost percentage and constant oil changeouts during service. This tech keeps your oil cleaner longer, so you're not draining fryers during the rush or dealing with disposal trucks every other day.
Average oil change frequency: 2–3 times per week per fryer- Common oil type: Canola - Canadian-grown, high smoke point, saving fry-oil through better management keeps costs predictable
- Cost pressure: Fry oil can account for up to 50% of frying operation costs
- Environmental impact: Waste oil disposal remains a major sustainability concern

Kelly O'Bryan's
& Carlos O'Bryan's
Kelly O'Bryan's & Carlos O'Bryan's Chain of Restaurants decided to use the Frylow systems in our busy high volume deep fryers over a year ago. Prices of fryer oil were on a steady increase and we tested Frylow for a month in one of our locations and quickly saw the results. Frylow is easy to use, very low maintenance and the results were amazing. Not only did it save us almost 50% on our oil consumption, we were able to move to a lower cost fryer oil.
Quality of our products in the deep fryers increased as well. The Frylow system actually cooks the items in oil without saturating the food product with oil, it repels the oil so that items are cooked more evenly, less greasy, and retains the natural juice in our chicken, rib products.
In over a year we saved money, increased quality, we have never had to repair or replace any of our Frylow units, this system is very simple and we are still going strong. I highly recommend it.

Applebees
Apple Core has been extremely satisfied with the Frylow bricks. We have had them in place for almost 2 years now. We have decreased our fryer shortening by 50% from day 1 and have maintained that same ratio. With our 23 locations we had a savings of 1,094 tubs of oil the first month and have maintained that each month since. That is a savings of $1,284.26 per location per month.
Our ROI on Frylow was 3-4 months. The bonus is with the Frylow bricks we were able to turn down our fry temp by about 6 degrees. Apple Core is still saving $1,200 per month per location two years later it’s almost like printing money.

Buffalo Wild Wings
Recently we had the opportunity to test Frylow in all seven of our fryers at our Goodyear location. With the high volume of food that is fried in our restaurant, we are normally changing the oil every other day. With the Frylow added to all of our systems we noticed that we only needed to change the oil every 4 to 5 days. This is a significant decrease in oil usage on average of 50%. We also needed to reduce the temperature and re-calibrate all of our fryers to 335 degrees from 350 degrees thus using less energy.
Additionally we noticed that the food took less time than our specification cook times which increased speed of service from the kitchen as well as decreased labor needed since we were changing oil less frequently. The product tasted better and came out more quickly. I definitely recommend Frylow to any restaurant that uses deep fryers. The cost savings will be evident.

Carnival Cruises (UK)
We have here at Carnival UK introduced the Frylow units to both P&O Cruises & Cunard in 2013 and we are very pleased with the results we are achieving thus far.
We installed the units in all UK ships and have achieved an ROI of less than 10 months, all while serving better quality food, reducing carbon foot prints and backed with a 5 year warranty. The units are easy to use, well received by our on board teams and have a great back up after sales service. I would recommend Frylow to anyone interested in achieving the above benefits.

The Pantry
We have tested the “Frylow” in our corporate store for two months and were very pleased with the results. This attachment extended the life of our shortening by almost double, and we have now recommended this product to our Franchisees. Several locations have subsequently purchased these units. We have been told that these units typically last 5-7 years. With the immediate savings we have experienced, it is projected that these attachments will pay for themselves within 6 months. This would leave several years of “incremental profit.” We would not hesitate to recommend this product to anyone who uses a deep fryer.
