FAQs
Can I put this basket in the dishwasher?

What are the exact dimensions of the basket?
The basket measures 230mm in height, 200mm in width, and 330mm in depth.
Is the handle heat-resistant?
The handle is constructed from stainless steel. While it is durable, it may become hot during prolonged submersion in boiling water; always use protective gloves or tongs when handling.
Can this be used for deep frying?
While made of stainless steel, this basket is optimized for pasta boiling. Usage in hot oil requires caution, and it is recommended to use dedicated frying equipment for oil-based tasks.
Will the stainless steel rust?
Stainless steel is resistant to rust; however, ensure you dry the basket thoroughly after hand washing to prevent water spots or surface oxidation.
Troubleshooting
Starch buildup in the mesh
Soak the basket in a mixture of hot water and degreasing agent, then gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush.
Hooks not fitting on the pot rim
Verify the pot wall thickness is compatible with the hook aperture; the basket is designed for standard commercial stock pot rims.
