How to Choose Frying Oil for your Restaurant

In many commercial kitchens, cooking oil is very important as it is needed to prepare food in the fryers.  It is beneficial for food service establishments to always have fresh cooking oil on hand to keep their kitchen functioning, especially through the lunch and dinner rushes.  The best way to make sure your establishment always has fresh frying oil on hand is to work with a professional like Mahoney Environmental.  We can establish a schedule of regular cooking oil deliveries for your business through our Preferred Oil Program.

At Mahoney Environmental, we offer several different types of cooking oil with our Preferred Oil program.  Each type of cooking oil is made from different ingredients and can cover different needs.  Our professionals can work with you to help decide which oil is the best cooking oil for your kitchen based on the type of food you prepare, nutritional concerns, and the volume of customers your establishment serves.

The following are the types of cooking oil we offer:
