Broaster Company
American foodservice equipment manufacturer
The Broaster Company is a prominent American manufacturer of foodservice equipment, most notably known for its pressure fryers and the proprietary "Broasting" technique. Founded in 1954 by L.A.M. Phelan, the company has become synonymous with a unique method of cooking chicken that combines pressure cooking and deep frying.
History[edit | edit source]
The Broaster Company was established in 1954 in Beloit, Wisconsin, by L.A.M. Phelan, an inventor and entrepreneur. Phelan developed the first commercial pressure fryer, which allowed for faster cooking times and a distinctive taste and texture in fried foods. This innovation led to the creation of the "Broasting" technique, a method that has been widely adopted by restaurants and foodservice providers around the world.
Broasting Technique[edit | edit source]
The Broasting technique is a combination of pressure cooking and deep frying. This method involves marinating chicken in a special blend of seasonings, then cooking it in a pressure fryer. The pressure fryer cooks the chicken quickly, sealing in moisture and flavor while creating a crispy exterior. This technique is often compared to traditional fried chicken but is noted for its unique taste and texture.
Products[edit | edit source]
The Broaster Company manufactures a range of foodservice equipment, including pressure fryers, ventless fryers, and other cooking appliances. Their pressure fryers are designed to cook large quantities of food quickly and efficiently, making them popular in high-volume foodservice operations.
Broaster Foods[edit | edit source]
In addition to equipment, the Broaster Company offers a line of branded food products, including chicken, fish, and other proteins that are specifically designed to be cooked using Broaster equipment. These products are distributed to restaurants and foodservice providers, allowing them to offer "Genuine Broaster Chicken" on their menus.
Global Presence[edit | edit source]
The Broaster Company has a significant international presence, with distributors and licensed operators in numerous countries. The brand is particularly popular in the United States, Canada, and parts of Asia and Europe.
