Strain, blanch, boil and fry foods with the help of a culinary basket. Crafted of corrosion resistant metal, and fashioned with a long handle that curves upwards, culinary baskets are a versatile addition to any commercial kitchen. They allow you to not only fry small batches of items to perfection, they also come in varying mesh sizes, including fine, medium and coarse, each of which enables you to perform different food prep functions.
