At what temperature should fryers be set for optimal cooking?

The optimal temperature for cooking in fryers at Raising Cane's is set at 350°F. This temperature is crucial for achieving the perfect balance of cooking the food thoroughly while ensuring a crispy exterior. At 350°F, the food cooks evenly, allowing the batter to adhere properly and create that signature crunch that Cane's is known for.

Cooking at this temperature also helps manage oil absorption, ensuring that the final product is not overly greasy. If the temperature is set significantly higher, such as 375°F or 400°F, there is a risk of the exterior cooking too quickly, which can result in an undercooked interior. Setting the fryers at a lower temperature, like 300°F, may lead to longer cooking times and can result in soggy food due to excess oil absorption. Therefore, maintaining fryers at 350°F is key to delivering consistently high-quality fried products.
