Video – Deep Fat Fryer Cleaned by Live Goldfish

Tweet

How do you clean all the crumbs and pieces of food that come out of a deep fat fryer? Which ever way you do it, I strongly suspect that, unlike this restaurant in Japan, you don’t install a fish tank underneath, pop in a few goldfish and simply let them consume whatever falls into the tank.

You have to feel sorry for the fish as, whilst the fact that oil floats on water saves them from cooking themselves (the oil ejected into the tank can reach temperatures of 163 degrees Celsius) their cholesterol levels must be off the scale. Apparently, however, the fish seem perfectly happy with the arrangement and can live for between 5-10 years.

You can watch the video of this bizarre piece of cooking apparatus below.
