Chip Scuttles

Chip Scuttles for Professional Kitchens

Chip scuttles keep cooked chips hot between baskets. You tip them in from the fryer, level the pan and let the heat lamp and base heat hold them. A good chip scuttle keeps chips crisp on the outside and soft inside for more than a few minutes.

Cheap chip scuttles have dead spots so the chips at the back go soft while the front ones dry out. Depth matters. If you pile chips too high they steam and turn limp. A solid unit lets staff bang the scoop around without the whole thing rattling across the counter. Removable pans and trays make clean down at close less of a chore.

Trade Insight

Set chip scuttles up right next to the fryer, not across the kitchen. Most places stick them on the pass and staff drip oil everywhere.

Carry out a test run and see how long chips stay decent, then bin them on a timer. Old chips dragged out all night taste like cardboard. Keep salt and crumbs out of the corners or the element burns it on and stinks the place out.
