Review on Winco FBRS-8 Round Wire Fry Basket: 8-1/2-Inch, 6-Mesh, Nickel-Plated - Best Medium-Sized Fry Basket for Efficient Frying by Chris Pettway

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sturdy, more than it looks, an inconvenience. . .

Extremely strong and well made, stronger than typical home use baskets, rivals hell of the big commercial fryers I used in the hospitality industry when I was young. A little deeper than it looks. (Measurements are accurate, just check your pan with a ruler, yes.) One inconvenience: I'm used to the thinner homemade version with a hook at the bottom of the basket so it can drip back into the frying oil, it didn't. BUT the separate drain space does the trick and the rest of the product is exceptional. REMINDER: If you haven't fried in a while. French fries etc. can cause the oil to boil and ignite. DO NOT drop this basket into hot oil when filled with fried food. Lower quarter to third only. 8th
