Commercial Deep Fryer Basket is used primarily for holding food in commercial deep fryers with welded wire mesh baskets that drain oil quickly and stand up to constant heating and handling. This page lists the industries and assemblies where it is specified, the selection criteria that matter for each application, handling and installation practice, and the cases where a different mesh, screen or filter type is the correct choice. It is supplied to NSF/ANSI 2 food equipment.
