LOTUS Basket Support Hook for CP-74/78 Fryers

A basket support hook holds fryer baskets clear of the oil while food drains and keeps the basket steady during loading and unloading. The hook clips to the rim of the fryer vat, suspending the basket above the hot oil so that excess fat drips back into the vat rather than pooling on the food or the worktop. This method prevents soggy results and reduces oil waste, which is essential in a busy kitchen where consistency and cost control matter.

To use the support, the operator first lowers the filled basket into the hot oil until the food is cooked. When the timer signals, the basket is lifted from the oil and hooked onto the support. The basket remains in place until the food is drained and ready to serve. The hook's position keeps the basket stable, so there is no need to hold it by hand, freeing the operator for other tasks.

The support is made of stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. Its dimensions of 300 mm in length, 330 mm in width and 410 mm in height ensure it fits securely on the rim of LOTUS CP-74 and CP-78 fryers without overhang or instability. The footprint matches the fryer's design, so it does not interfere with adjacent equipment or workflow.

This article is a direct replacement for the original LOTUS basket support and is listed under spare parts for the CP-74 and CP-78 fryer range.
