Lunvia Frying Basket 18 cm 2.2 L Steel Strainer with Detachable Handle

Lifting hot pakoras out of a kadhai with a slotted spoon means fishing around in the oil, dropping half of them back in, and letting the rest go soft in a pile while you catch the strays. A basket does the whole batch in one lift, and the oil drains back into the pan instead of into the food. The body is food grade 304 stainless steel, punched with 3 mm perforations across the sides and base. That hole size is the point: wide enough for hot oil to run off fast, tight enough that samosa crumbs, sev and thin fries do not slip through and burn at the bottom of the pan. The basket measures 18 cm across and 9.2 cm deep, holding about 2.2 litres, so a familysized batch of fries or pakoras goes in at once rather than in three nervous rounds. The wire handle lifts off. With it on, the red heatresistant grip keeps your fingers well clear of the oil while you lower and lift. With it off, the basket drops straight into a pressure cooker or steamer pot and works for eggs, corn, sweet potato and idli. One item, two jobs, one shelf.
