Listed load capacities range from about 4.4 lbs (2 kg) for many baskets up to 8.8 lbs (4 kg) for the larger fryer basket.
Many baskets include ergonomic, non‑slip plastic‑coated handles, a hook for hanging on the fryer bar to drain oil, a hole at the handle end for storage hanging, and some handles are detachable for easier cleaning.
Metal fryer baskets are described as heavy‑duty metal construction with nickel plating to resist rust, corrosion, and wear‑and‑tear.
Some fryer baskets include a removable divider that creates two compartments so you can fry two different foods at the same time.
These baskets are described for commercial and home use—restaurants, food stalls, and casual dining—and are commonly used for frying items such as French fries/chips, fish, sausages, samosas, onion rings, and mozzarella sticks.
