C.   Use of Common Accessories

1.   Basket Insert

 

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 liners must be used when cooking product smaller than 

the mesh size of the basket, which is approximately 1/4” (6 mm). This 

includes rice and small pasta shapes.

Tips for Use:

a.   Allow for water displacement by the baskets and product to be 

cooked. This may mean only filling the kettle half full of water. Test 

the basket and product displacement with the kettle OFF, and with 

cold water in the kettle.

b.   Load baskets on a level, stable work surface.

c.   Lift the loaded baskets with both hands. Get help from another 

person, if the basket is too heavy for safe handling.

d.   Slowly lower product into the kettle.

e.   When removing baskets with cooked product, lift basket straight up, 

ensuring bottom of basket clears the rim and pouring lip of the kettle. 

Wear protective oven mitts and protective apron.

f.   Allow hot water to fully drain from product, before moving basket 

away from the kettle.

g.   If basket is too heavy for individual to lift and safely move, get help 

from another person. Remove product immediately from basket into 

another container, being sure to avoid contact with hot product and 

hot basket or place basket with food on stable, flat surface, setting it 

inside a solid steamer or bake pan, to catch any remaining hot water 

draining from product.

CAUTION

DO NOT OVERFILL THE KETTLE WHEN

COOKING, HOLDING OR CLEANING. KEEP

LIQUIDS A MINIMUM OF 2-3” (5-8 cm) 

BELOW THE RIM TO ALLOW FOR STIRRING, 

BOILING AND SAFE PRODUCT TRANSFER.
