My girlfriend just started at chik fil a and she worked the fryer all day today for ten hours. She said her hands were so sore from nonstop motion. It's one of the busiest ones in town. I tried to give her some friendly advice as I have spent years working with my hands in other trades. I told her that she's just not used to that much strenuous work and that she's building muscle. I told her to try to grab the basket as closely and as safely as possible by being closer to the weight it's more evenly distributed and to grab the handle from underneath and try to rest the end of the handle on her wrist where it meets the forearm but do not grab to close to the basket of course. Does anyone else here have any advice that could help her?

Thanks!

[@alecvetter807]

That is probably one of the worst burns you could ever get, period!

[@luisdeleonm]

What do you do with the fryer when slow times at the restaurant? do you turn it off and on as needed? do you keep it on the whole day, if so what's the minimum temperature? Any information regarding this matter?

[@rnewson171]

Luis de leon idk why you would turn it off, as they take a little while to heat & 325-350 degrees

[@luckyduckydrivingschool3615]

probably lower the temp and keep it at a minimum, where its not degrading the oil when not in use, then fire it back up to operating temperature before doing a batch of frying
