Broaster

What Does The Broaster Company Do?

The Broaster Company produces and distributes cooking equipment, seasonings, and licensing for the preparation of a specific style of pressure-fried chicken hailed as “Broaster chicken” in Beloit, Wisconsin. Broaster has obtained patents for its revolutionary pressure fryers and a proprietary blend of seasonings since it was established in 1954. The brand originated the term “broasting” (broiling and roasting), the Broaster Chicken trademark, and the Broaster fryers that use a unique pressure frying method.

What are The Unique Features of Broaster Fryers?

The game-changing cooking method is the most exclusive feature of Broaster chicken fryers. They first marinate the chicken and place it in a pressure-cooked special cooking unit. This method provides crispy and flavorful fried chicken with a moist interior. The process is similar to deep frying, but the pressure cooking helps seal in the natural juices of the chicken. Broaster ventless fryers, pressure fryers, electric griddles, and pressure smokers have distinctive features that set them apart from the competition.
