IMPORTANT:
Filtering cooking oil helps to ensure the quality of the food product. Careful observation of the finished food product will help you determine the optimal filtering frequency.
(Example: Filter the oil after each six loads of fresh breaded chicken)
FILTER POWDER absorbs acids and many other contaminants in the cooking oil, allowing the oil to be used longer before it must be replaced. Wells Flavor Saver Oil Filter Powder is available from your Wells Equipment Dealer or Authorized Service Agent in a case of 45 packages (p/n 22410).
