fry basket

Most listings center on an overall basket length of about 13". Widths in the results run from roughly 6 5/16" up to 11 13/16", and heights are typically about 5 5/16" to 5 7/8".

Capacity varies by model: many listings show a max load around 4.4 lbs, while larger baskets list capacities up to about 8.8 lbs.

Listings primarily describe stainless-steel construction. Several mention nickel plating for corrosion resistance, and at least one serving-style basket is described as chrome-plated steel.

Many baskets have ergonomic, non-slip plastic-coated handles; some handles are detachable. Listings also note hooks and handle holes to aid draining and hanging, and include wording aimed at preventing scalding.

Many baskets include a hook to hang on a fryer bar for draining oil and a hole at the end of the handle so the basket can be hung when not in use.

Some sets include a removable divider that inserts into the basket to create two compartments for frying different foods at the same time.

Listings cite typical deep-fried foods such as French fries, chips, fish, sausages, samosas, onion rings, and mozzarella sticks, and note suitability for both commercial and home applications.
