Customer Reviews: High quality All-Clad product April 20, 2010 Steven H. Brink (El Dorado Hills, CA) Very well built and can be put in the diswasher. So easy to make fried chicken, fries, onion rings and then right in the dishwasher for easy clean up. Built to last forever!
Quality for a Lifetime! June 14, 2009 Divot-Diva (Fargo, ND) I have All Clad cookware and purchased this fry basket to go with my 6 qt. dutch oven. It is roomy enough to hold more than a few pieces of chicken or fish, without crowding, and when finished frying, you can hook it on the lip of the kettle to drain. It's, also, great to use when cooking whole potatoes, corn on the cob, some pasta's and other veggies, etc., as you, simply, lift up the basket, hook to drain it with no mess or risk of burning oneself with steam. It's a quality product that will last a lifetime.
Ideal with the 6 qt stock pot or saute pot February 5, 2009 C. G. King (Horse Country, VA USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This thing is super. It turns the 6 qt stockpot or tall sauté pot into a deep fryer, or extracts the carcass and/or veggies out of stock liquid without having to strain off the liquid into another container.
I love to make turkey or chicken soup with the carcass after most of the meat has been eaten, but there's usually some meat sticking to the bones that needs to be hand pulled after boiling. By using this basket with my tall 6 qt sauté pan, I can just lift it up with all the bones and vegetables inside and hang it on the edge of the pan via the basket's hook to let everything drain and cool. When the ingredients are cool enough to handle I can remove the remaining meat from the bones and throw out the rest. If I'm making a soup, I can add that meat right back to the stock along with some rice or noodles and chopped parsley and it's wonderful. Of course, I may want to do other things with the stock, but the fact remains that with this basket, getting the solids out of the liquid is a piece of cake.
If you're into deep-frying, of course, the basket is perfect for that, but I use it far more often for making stock or blanching something. This basket is worth its weight in gold. Highly recommended.
Great design, again January 9, 2007 Alex (Evanston, IL) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This All-Clad basket fits perfectly inside the sauce pan--making storage easy. And, it can be clipped on to the side to let items in the basket drain. great for anything from potatoes in water or oil to large pasta ...
