LOTUS Basket 1/2 for F13-64E and F10T-63E Fryers

A frying basket holds food below the oil surface in a commercial fryer, ensuring even cooking and a crisp finish. The wire mesh allows hot oil to circulate around each piece while keeping the load contained. This method relies on the basket's shape and open construction to prevent sticking and to drain excess oil when lifted out.

To use, the operator fills the basket with the portion, lowers it into the pre-heated oil, and sets the timer. The fryer's element maintains the oil temperature, and the basket's handles let the operator raise and shake the load without touching the oil. Once the timer signals, the basket is lifted, drained briefly over the vat, and the food is tipped onto a tray or serving dish.

The basket is constructed from stainless steel wire, chosen for its resistance to high temperatures and corrosion. The dimensions of 100 mm depth, 300 mm width and 120 mm height create a shallow, wide profile that suits single-layer frying of items such as chips, fish fillets or chicken pieces. The 100 mm depth ensures the food is fully submerged without crowding, while the 300 mm width allows a generous portion to be cooked in one batch.

This basket is a direct replacement for the original part on LOTUS F13-64E and F10T-63E fryers. It is listed in the catalogue under fryer accessories and spare parts.
