Basket for marine equipment LOTUS 531053900

A frying basket holds food below the oil surface in a commercial fryer, allowing hot oil to surround every piece evenly. The basket's perforated base and sides let oil circulate while keeping food contained, so portions cook quickly and uniformly without sticking or breaking apart. This method gives fried items a crisp exterior and a fully cooked interior in the same short cycle, essential for high-volume service where speed and consistency matter.

The operator loads raw or pre-prepared food into the basket, lowers it into the pre-heated oil, and sets the timer. Once the cycle finishes, the basket is lifted out, letting excess oil drain back into the vat. The food is then tipped onto a tray or serving plate, ready for plating or holding under a heat lamp.

This LOTUS Basket 1/1 is made of stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning after repeated exposure to hot oil and food residues. The dimensions of 490 mm long, 290 mm wide and 200 mm high match the internal vat of the CP-66 fryer, ensuring a secure fit and efficient use of the oil volume. The weight of the basket is light enough for safe manual handling yet heavy enough to stay submerged without floating.

Cleaning involves soaking the basket in hot water and detergent to loosen oil and food particles, followed by scrubbing with a non-abrasive pad. Regular cleaning prevents build-up that can affect food flavour and oil life.

This basket is a direct replacement for the original LOTUS Basket 1/1 supplied with the CP-66 fryer.
