Delivering hot, crispy French fries to a customer’s doorstep is one of the biggest challenges in food delivery. Fries are meant to be enjoyed fresh out of the fryer—steaming hot, golden, and crisp. But with long delivery times and packed containers, they often arrive soggy, limp, or cold. So how can food businesses ensure fries stay delicious even after a 30-minute delivery ride?

Here’s how to cook travel-proof fries that maintain crunch and quality from kitchen to customer:

1. Choose the Right Fry

Start with coated fries—specially designed for delivery. At Farmton Foods, our coated fries feature a light, crispy outer layer that locks in heat and texture. They’re made to withstand travel without losing their bite.

2. Fry at the Right Temperature

Always fry at 175–180°C (345–355°F). Undercooked fries go soggy fast, while overcooked ones dry out. Fry in small batches for consistent results.

3. Drain and Shake

After frying, shake off excess oil and let fries rest on a raised rack or paper to prevent steaming in their own heat.

4. Don’t Overpack

Use vented delivery packaging to let moisture escape. Avoid sealing fries in tight plastic containers—they trap steam and ruin the texture.

5. Serve Immediately

Minimize holding time. Serve fries as the last item packed before dispatch.

By following these simple steps and choosing fries formulated for performance—like Farmton’s range—you can deliver fries that customers will actually look forward to eating. Crispy, hot, and travel-ready—because in delivery, the last bite should taste just as good as the first.
