LOTUS 1/3 GN Basket for CP-66 Fryer

A frying basket holds food below the oil surface in a deep-fat fryer, exposing every side to the hot oil at once. The mesh construction allows oil to circulate freely around each piece, cooking it evenly and quickly. When the basket is lifted, the same mesh lets oil drain back into the vat, leaving the food with less residual fat and a crisp finish.

The operator lowers the loaded basket into the pre-heated oil, starts the timer, and monitors the colour and texture. Once the food is cooked, the basket is raised and held above the oil to drain. A hook or rest on the fryer keeps the basket in place while the food is portioned or plated.

This 1/3 GN basket is made of stainless steel wire mesh and a stainless steel frame. The frame gives the basket its shape and strength, while the mesh supports the food and allows oil to flow through.

The size of 160 × 290 × 200 mm matches the 1/3 Gastronorm standard, so it fits the LOTUS CP-66 fryer vat and any other 1/3 GN-compatible equipment. The dimensions also determine how much food can be loaded at once and how it is arranged inside the basket.

Stainless steel wire mesh is wiped clean after each use to remove food debris. The frame is washed with a mild detergent and rinsed to prevent oil build-up. Regular cleaning keeps the mesh clear and maintains the basket's draining performance.
