A piece of advice to anyone considering putting an exposed element into a citric acid tank. If the element is non ferrous the acid will dissolve the element!
I discovered this the hard way when using an old chip fryer to heat up my ca mix for cleaning. I'm now on my 2nd fryer only this time I remove the element from the tank when I'm not using it. But even with doing this you can see the element getting eaten away!
Not sure what the baskets are made of but the ca mix eats them away quite quickly!
I've got another fryer with the element mounted under the tank on standby plus a large stainless steel catering Ban Marie to use as well.
