Operation
B. Basket Insert
An optional kettle basket insert set can assist in cooking water-boiled products
including eggs, potatoes, vegetables, shell fish, pasta and rice. The nylon
mesh liner must be used for products smaller than the basket mesh size,
(approximately 1/4” (6 mm). This includes rice and small pasta shapes.
Tips For Use.
1. Allow for displacement of the 3 baskets and product. This may mean only
filling the kettle half way. Test baskets and product displacement with the
kettle OFF, and with cold water in the kettle.
2. Load baskets on a level, stable work surface.
3. Lift loaded baskets with both hands. Get help from another person if the
basket is too heavy for safe handling.
4. Slowly lower product into kettle and securely hook the basket to the “Y”
frame.
5. When removing baskets with cooked product, lift straight up, ensuring
basket bottoms clear the kettle rim and pouring lip. Wear protective oven
mitts and protective apron.
6. Allow hot water to fully drain from product, before moving basket away
from the kettle. Do not rest baskets on kettle rim or pouring lip. If baskets
are too heavy for individual to lift and safely move, get help. Remove
product immediately from basket into another container, being sure to
avoid contact with hot product and hot basket or. . .
7. Place baskets with food on a stable, flat surface, inside a solid steamer or
bake pan, to catch any remaining hot water draining from product.
