Product Overview

The Straight Fryer Cleaning Brush (Part No. 12112) is a long-handled deep-reach cleaning brush designed for commercial pressure fryers and open vat fryers. At 686mm (27 inches), this is the longest brush in the Henny Penny range — reaching the full depth of the frypot to scrub walls, base, and internal surfaces during the boil-out cleaning cycle.

Commercial kitchen hygiene regulations in the UK require fryers to be cleaned to a standard that prevents carbon build-up, cross-contamination, and fire risk. The National Fire Protection Association identifies deep fryers as one of the leading causes of commercial kitchen fires — and inadequate cleaning is the primary contributing factor. The correct brush is an essential part of any compliant fryer cleaning procedure.

This brush uses heat-resistant nylon bristles rated to 257°C (495°F), making it suitable for hot cleaning cycles during boil-out. The white handle and white bristles allow kitchen teams to visually monitor hygiene status and identify when bristles need replacing. Genuine OEM Henny Penny part.

Frequently Asked Questions

What brush do I use to clean a commercial fryer?
A long-handled straight brush rated for high heat is the standard tool for cleaning frypot walls and base during a boil-out. This 686mm brush is rated to 257°C and is the correct OEM brush for Henny Penny fryers.

How often should I replace a fryer cleaning brush?
Replace when bristles are splayed, discoloured, broken, or show signs of melting. In a high-volume kitchen running daily boil-outs, brushes typically need replacing every three to six months.

Can I use this brush while the fryer oil is hot?
The bristles are rated to 257°C so they can withstand hot cleaning solution during a boil-out cycle. Always follow your fryer manufacturer's cleaning procedure and wear appropriate PPE.

Signs You Need To Replace This Brush

• Bristles are bent, splayed, or no longer making firm contact with frypot surfaces
• Bristles show discolouration, melting, or visible damage from heat exposure
• Carbon build-up is not being removed effectively during boil-out
• Bristles are shedding — a contamination risk in a food environment
