COOKING PROCEDURES
The Quik n' Crispy can fry, grill, and bake a wide array of frozen, oven ready
products available through normal food service distribution and wholesale clubs.
To prepare "fried" menu items in the Quik n’ Crispy, you must prepare foods
that have OVEN preparation directions listed on the package. As an example,
egg rolls, corn dogs, beer battered or tempura battered vegetables and battered
cheese sticks are typically fryable or bakeable. Seasoned or coated french fries or
potato wedges are fryable or bakeable. These types of products will come out of
the Quik n' Crispy crisp on the outside and moist on the inside as if they were fried.
If you wish to prepare a non-battered, non-coated, or non-seasoned menu item, it
must be a bakeable version. To prepare shoestring or crinkle cut french fries, or
skin-on potato wedges, you must use a bakeable version. If you try to prepare
menu items in the Quik n' Crispy that do not have baking directions listed on the
package, they will typically be soggy and limp, and will not change in color from
a pale white to a golden brown. If this happens with a menu item that you are
testing, contact your food distributor and have them send you the correct version of
the menu item that you wish to prepare. If your food distributor sales person is
not sure of the menu items that can be prepared in the Quik n’ Crispy, have them
review the 35 page menu found with this Operator’s Manual or have them either
contact your Quik n’ Crispy distributor or contact QNC, Inc.
To prepare breaded items such as chicken nuggets and chicken strips you
need to use either a pre-cooked or a fully cooked product. Pre-cooked means
that the product has been partially cooked, is pre-browned on the outside, and the
interior of the product is raw. Fully cooked means that the product is cooked on
both the outside and the interior. You cannot prepare ready-to-cook items that
have a white breading on the outside. They will cook, but they will not turn golden
brown in the Quik n' Crispy.
To grill foods in the Quik n' Crispy, you should use pre-cooked or fully
cooked meat, poultry, or fish products. As an example, hot dogs and some
sausages are fully cooked products and could be consumed cold right from the
package. These items will grill in the Quik n' Crispy with a char broiled
appearance. To prepare grilled chicken breasts or hamburgers, you should use
fully cooked products. They will come out of the Quik n' Crispy sizzling on the
outside and tender and juicy on the inside.
