An optional kettle basket insert set will 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, (approx. ¼” (6 mm). This includes rice and small pasta
shapes.
a. Allow for displacement of the three baskets and product. This may
mean only half filling the kettle. Test baskets and product dis-
placement with the kettle OFF, and with cold water in the kettle.
b. Load baskets on a level, stable work surface.
c. Lift loaded baskets with both hands. Get help from another person
if the basket is too heavy for safe handling.
d. Slowly lower product into kettle and securely hook basket to the
“Y” frame.
e. 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.
f. 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...
g. 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.
