Steel Mesh Baskets
Hello
Does anyone know where we could purchase wire mesh type baskets that can be used in large boiling pans? Thanks Stu Wright www.cateringappliancesltd.co.uk |

Deep frying, perhaps. That would be "boiling in oil", in which case I would recommend an Asian market. Jill |

Makes it easy to lift out the pasta, potatoes, whatever and leave the hot water behind, especially if you are making a second batch. Good for making applesauce too. We have one for our Farberware 12 quart pot and use it often. |

Other veggies are steamed if they aren't grilled or broiled. And I have a pot for pasta with a built-in strainer lid (got it at Bed Bath & Beyond for about $10). I still don't see the need for mesh baskets in everyday cooking. The only time I've seen them employed regularly is when a wok is used for deep frying. And I don't deep fry food. Jill |

Thanks for the advice, I will try the 2 links posted and see where I
get. I get a lot of requests from shell fishing companies and most are using old ones from boiling pans no longer being made. Regards Stu www.cateringappliancesltd.co.uk |

In my experience steel mesh is more difficult to clean
than strainers made of perforated sheet metal. YMMV. Steve |
