Chip Preparation Treatment – P1 Formula

Chip Preparation Treatment – P1 Formula is a professional chip treatment designed to improve colour, consistency and frying performance in fish and chip shops.

Freshly cut chips begin deteriorating the moment they are exposed to air. Oxidation, excess surface starch and inconsistent prep methods can quickly lead to discolouration, uneven frying, poor texture and unnecessary waste.

P1 Formula helps tackle these issues at the source, giving you better control over chip quality from preparation through to service.

Why it matters

• Helps prevent discolouration: keeps freshly cut chips looking cleaner and fresher for longer
• Controls excess starch: supports improved texture and more consistent frying results
• Improves batch consistency: reduces variation during prep and frying
• Supports crispier chips: helps improve structure and final finish
• Reduces waste: fewer rejected batches and less spoilage during holding
• Protects frying oil: helps reduce contamination from loose starch

Built for professional chip shops

P1 Formula is developed specifically for fish and chip shops, potato prep rooms and high-volume chip production environments. It integrates easily into existing preparation systems and helps create tighter process control.

Whether you peel and chip in-house daily or prepare larger volumes ahead of service, P1 helps deliver more reliable results without changing the character of your chips.
