FRYER BASKET

MISCELLANEOUS

A fryer basket for a commercial kitchen is an essential tool used to hold food while it is being deep-fried in a commercial deep fryer. These baskets are typically made of metal mesh or wire with a heat-resistant handle, and they come in various sizes to fit different fryer models.

Key Features of a Commercial Fryer Basket:

1.      Material: Most fryer baskets are made of stainless steel or coated metal, ensuring they are durable, heat-resistant, and corrosion-resistant.

2.      Handles: Commercial fryer baskets usually have long, heat-resistant handles, sometimes with a plastic coating, to keep the chef safe from hot oil splashes. Some handles may be adjustable or foldable for space-saving.

3.      Size: The size of the fryer basket should correspond to the capacity of the fryer and the volume of food you're preparing. Larger baskets are typically used for bulk frying, while smaller ones are for individual servings or specific items.

4.      Shape: Most baskets are rectangular, but some are square, round, or oval to fit different fryer setups.

5.      Safety Features: Some baskets are designed with an oil drainage system to avoid over-soaking fried foods, keeping them crisp and reducing oil waste.
