Deep Fryer Basket & Lid

Kitchen · Easy

The mesh basket and hinged lid that take the splatter out of frying. Bent basket handles and cracked lids are the two failures that end a fryer's kitchen duty early.

• None

Steps

1. 1Confirm the fryer model and oil capacity on the base label.
2. 2Order the matching basket or lid from the maker's parts line.
3. 3Hang the new basket on the rim hooks and lower-test with cold oil absent.
4. 4Check the lid seats square before the first fry.

Maintenance

Degrease the basket mesh after each fry session; stuck carbon flakes into the next batch. (Suggested interval: every month.)
