small fryer basket

Small fryer baskets are made from materials such as stainless steel, chrome steel, and plastic, depending on the model and intended use.

Some small fryer baskets are sized to fit home fryers (for example, models intended for use with 2.5‑gallon fryers), while others are mini serving baskets meant for holding small portions of fried foods.

Features that aid draining and cleaning include wire mesh construction for rapid oil drainage, front hooks that allow baskets to drain over the fryer, and detachable handles that make washing simpler.

Some product details include safety notices; for example, a California warning may appear noting exposure to chemicals such as DEHP, which is identified in that warning as "known to the State of California to cause cancer and other reproductive harm." Always review the product’s safety information before use.

Many small fryer baskets have long handles that enable stacking or hanging, which can save storage space and allow convenient wall or rack storage when not in use.
