OPTIMIZE YOUR FRYING FOOTPRINT By: Mike Conway, Business Development Manager, Vulcan

What does cognitive diversity have to do with innovation? An article in the Harvard Business Review many years ago clearly documented, based on extensive research, that diversity unlocks innovation and drives market growth. Covid-19 drove everyone, in all segments of the industry, to imagine how we would best proceed. Getting back to “normal” never seemed an option to me. Innovating into a new space to create a new reality was top- of-mind for all of us — by necessity. I went back into some of my original research on this topic and re-energized my own thinking and role as a consultant: help clients be brave and set free new ideas. As the HBR stated: Leaders who give diverse voices equal airtime are nearly twice as likely as others to unleash value-driving insights, and employees in a “speak up” culture are 3.5 times as likely to contribute their full innovative potential.” With DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) being such a hot topic these days, why is it that you most focus on diversity of thought as a central topic? I believe it is at the core of all issues we have with accepting others. Diversity is threatening, as it challenges core beliefs within each of us which may be conscious, but often are subliminal and not brought to consciousness. It is easier to see differences in race, religion, mental and physical disabilities, all of which cause degrees of discomfort at times. But cognitive diversity is less apparent — a hidden enemy to tolerance, appreciation, and acceptance. Putting all the facts together, I firmly believe that at a time in our industry where problems abound, employees are hard to find, and financial success is monumentally challenging, opening our hearts and minds to new ways of being are superbly critical.
When you think about countertop fryers, words like: durable, heavy duty, oil capacity, efficient, and production are not usually associated with them. However, Vulcan has changed that. Our CEF40 and CEF75 heavy-duty countertop fryers provide 40 lb and 75 lb oil capacity, 86% cooking efficiency, durability, and are made for production. The CEF40 produces 70 lbs of frozen fries and 41 lbs of bone-in chicken per hour, while the CEF75 boasts an impressive 92 lbs of frozen fries, and 54 lbs of bone-in chicken per hour.

The CEF’s small footprint allows you to conserve space under your client’s hood. By placing the unit(s) on top of a refrigerator or freezer base, or next to a griddle and charbroiler, you can create a complete and efficient work station — maximizing output.
Vulcan’s CEF40 and CEF75 are changing the way we perceive countertop electric fryers.
