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 Jarod Lacy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good size for frying in a casserole Lodge

Hi I have used this in a 5 liter cast iron lodge and have been happy with it. The size is enough for a small breast (blush), thighs, shins, wings. I would say that for whole splits you have to break one at a time. so don't go A whole bag of thighs from the store is cooked in batches within an hour, I estimate. Robust construction. A few tips: 1. Do not overfill, cook with a half-full basket for better control.2. Wait about 5-6 minutes between batches for the oil to reach high temperature again (at least 300).3. Don't worry about high temperature cooking all the time.4. Having a fry thermometer is nice and handy. If out of stock, just decide for a longer time. A cheap combination for frying.

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • No paint required
