LOTUS Boiling Pan Basket for 50 Litre Models

A boiling pan basket holds ingredients clear of the heating element while they cook in rapidly circulating water. The perforated base allows water to flow freely, ensuring even heat distribution and preventing scorching. This method is used for blanching vegetables, cooking pasta, poaching fish or preparing stocks, where gentle, uniform heat is essential.

The basket is lowered into the boiling pan once the water reaches temperature. Ingredients are added, and the basket keeps them submerged without crowding. After cooking, the basket is lifted out, draining the contents in one motion. This sequence reduces handling and speeds up service in busy kitchens.

Constructed from stainless steel, the basket resists corrosion and withstands repeated exposure to hot water and steam. The 36 cm diameter fits the 50 litre LOTUS boiling pan, while the 39.5 cm height provides clearance for larger items. The 5 kg volume indicates the weight of ingredients it can hold at one time.

Cleaning involves rinsing after use and scrubbing with a non-abrasive pad to remove food residue. Stainless steel does not require seasoning or special treatment, but thorough drying prevents water spots and maintains appearance.
