LOTUS Basket 80 for Professional Catering Fryers

A fryer basket holds food below the oil surface so the heat transfers evenly and quickly. The mesh construction allows oil to circulate around each piece, giving a crisp exterior without absorbing excess fat. The basket itself stays cool to the touch at the handle, so the operator can lower and lift it without risk of burns.

The sequence is simple: load the food into the basket, lower it into the pre-heated oil, and set the timer. When the food is done, the basket is lifted out and left to drain over the vat, letting the oil drip back into the fryer. The mesh base lets steam escape, preventing sogginess while the food cools.

This LOTUS Basket 80 is made of stainless steel, which resists corrosion from hot oil and cleaning chemicals. The dimensions of 670 mm long, 350 mm wide and 80 mm deep give a large surface area for even frying, while the shallow depth keeps the food close to the heat source for consistent results. The weight of the basket is light enough for easy handling but heavy enough to stay submerged without floating.

Cleaning follows the same routine as the fryer itself: soak the basket in hot water and detergent to loosen oil residue, then scrub with a non-abrasive pad. Stainless steel dries quickly and does not retain odours, so the basket is ready for the next service without lingering flavours.

The Basket 80 is listed in the LOTUS catalogue under fryer accessories, where it fits standard commercial fryers of matching width.
