Basket for marine equipment LOTUS 531041600

A stainless steel frying basket designed to hold food portions while they cook in hot oil. The basket lowers into the fryer vat, allowing oil to circulate around the food for even frying. Its perforated base drains oil quickly when lifted, keeping fried items crisp rather than soggy.

The operator loads raw or frozen food into the basket, then lowers it into the preheated oil. A timer or visual check determines when the food is done; the basket is then lifted out, letting excess oil drip back into the vat. The basket's open construction means food cooks on all sides at once, speeding up service in a busy kitchen.

Constructed from stainless steel, the basket resists corrosion and withstands repeated immersion in hot oil. The 135 mm height, 290 mm width and 120 mm depth create a compact footprint that fits the F18-E fryer vat without overcrowding. These dimensions also determine how much food can be fried in a single batch, helping to standardise portion sizes across service.

Cleaning involves scrubbing the basket after each use to remove food debris and oil residue. Stainless steel can be washed in a commercial dishwasher or manually with hot water and detergent, then dried to prevent water spots.

This basket is a direct replacement for the standard F18-ETD basket used in LOTUS F18-E fryers.
