LOTUS Basket for 150 L Boiling Pan 1/2 – 531043701

A perforated stainless-steel basket designed to sit inside a 150 litre boiling pan keeps ingredients submerged while allowing water to circulate freely around them. The holes let steam and liquid pass through so the contents cook evenly without sticking to the bottom or sides of the pan. Once the food is done, the basket lifts out in one movement, draining excess water back into the pan and leaving the contents ready for the next stage of preparation.

The operator lowers the empty basket into the boiling pan, fills it with up to 2.5 kg of vegetables, pasta or other items, and starts the boiling cycle. When the timer signals, the basket is lifted clear, allowing the water to drain through the perforations. The same basket can then be used to transfer the cooked food to a serving container or holding area without additional handling.

The basket is formed from a single sheet of stainless steel, perforated and welded into a cylindrical shape 56 cm in diameter and 47 cm high. The rim is rolled for strength and safety, and the base is flat so it rests securely on the bottom of the pan.

A basket of this diameter fits the LOTUS 150 L boiling pan and similar models that share the same internal dimensions. The 2.5 kg volume rating indicates the maximum load the basket can safely hold without risk of spillage or uneven cooking.

Cleaning is straightforward: after use, the basket is rinsed under a tap to remove food particles, then washed in a sink or dishwasher with standard detergent. The perforations allow water and detergent to reach every surface, and the stainless steel resists corrosion and staining.
