Donut Machine Cleanup

[@Quickdraw1111]

Wow, what a beating it looks like to cleanup, take apart, clean all the parts and put back together!! (and not to mention having to wait for it to cool down and then hope you don't seriously burn yourself at some point). I had been thinking about buying one of those Lil Orbits machines, but now I am not so motivated to buy a Lil Orbits machine anymore. And then add in the VERY high cost of the machine and I'm even less motivated. There are other donut machines out there to buy that are much less expensive and don't involve dealing with oil, nor taking apart the machine to clean.

[@fishfry622]

Same boat. Which machines are you referring to?

[@Quickdraw1111]

@@fishfry622 State Fair Mini Donuts. You can buy the oven, pre-made flash frozen donuts, and other accessibles from them. You will have to do a internet search for it (I don't think we are allowed to post links here).

[@disneybaker5165]

You made that look painfully difficult, why are you throwing out perfectly clean and usable oil. Donuts absorb oil. You should just be filtering it , and adding to it on a daily basis, and you’ll never have to dispose any oil, I worked at a donut play out of high school and never disposed of any oil, because it was rotated so often, judging by the sticky grease on them parts it’s been a while since you cleaned it

[@GY6SCOOTERCHAT]

What a pain in the balls to have to disassemble all that just to clean. Why have they not incorporated a drain valve.

[@JustBossTalkJD]

you built this ?

[@jasoncanadian]

Very well explained. Great little tips too!

[@ReneShepard]

Hey kiddo, I just watched the video you did 5 years ago. Are you still in business? Would you still recommend Lil Orbitz?

[@dundun5312]

How often to you change your oil?

[@Quickdraw1111]

I change mine once every 3000 miles.

Why not drain oil first

[@ioncecan6799]

hi! what kind of oil do you use?

[@fares201000]

hi ....I have machine of donuts but every time I made bad donuts..I don't know where is the problem ..maybe the recipe ?!!..would u help me please ?

[@klobie9049]

Vielen Dank für die Erklärung! Unter sauber versteh ich aber etwas anderes. Die Innenwanne wurde außen nicht gereinigt, ebenso das Laufrad im Ölbad und die Steuerung für die Mechanik. Einmal drüber reiben hätte gereicht. Aber da hängt noch der Tag und Fett dran. Die Stecker hätten es auch mal nötig gehabt.

Hello i want to know where you buyed the pump for the oil. Thanks for answer

[@FortuneAndFaith-pi7kt]

Lil Orbits sells a siphon pump. That’s what we use.

[@Lugraas]

@@FortuneAndFaith-pi7kt thanks!

[@patrickbentley5346]

Is there anyone monitoring this site? I'd like to see if this machine is still in operation after all these years.

[@aubsk2829]

It is. All peace love and little donuts sites (from my experience) use it. Sometimes the parts need to be replaced but it works.

[@donhgr]

I’m surprised you don’t filter or strain the oil like we do with the fryer and reuse

[@garybregel4606]

How do you filter the oil, what filters do you use?

[@FortuneAndFaith-pi7kt]

We used to recycle the oil but now we do filter and reuse.

[@fernandaguedes9519]

Ron ok , good job .👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@ANTZ2244]

What machine is this.

[@fishfry622]

Looks like the Lil' Orbits SS1200 or 2400

[@nharimohammed551]

how mutsh this machine i m from morroco

[@nerdagenda]

How often does this need to be done?

[@ronrazete1760]

Depending on how "good" the donut maker is, probably weekly. If rookies shred donuts and it there are lots of pieces burning in the shortening, then more often maybe.

[@rumawaterworth3671]

Do you have to clean out the oil every time you make donuts ?

[@FortuneAndFaith-pi7kt]

No. Depending on use, we change the oil weekly or bi-weekly

[@veronikahiebert7858]

Awesome explanation

[@TERESASEABERG]

Why would you not drain the oil before you remove parts that are in the hot oil? You are working WAAAAAAAYYYYY too hard to clean this machine.

[@tumblindice5412]

Donuts are fried in shortening. If you let it cool all the way, it gets solid again

[@fishfry622]

@@tumblindice5412 Not always the case. Regardless you should be able to (carefully) drain/syphon the oil into an appropriate container before it solidifies.
