Commercial Deep Fryer Basket in 304 Stainless Steel (AISI 304 (1.4301)) is used for holding food in commercial deep fryers with welded wire mesh baskets that drain oil quickly and stand up to constant heating and handling. The alloy gives good general corrosion resistance in atmosphere and fresh water and is essentially non-magnetic (annealed), with a practical service limit of approx. +450 °C continuous.
