Basket Insert
An optional kettle basket insert can assist in cooking water-boiled
products including eggs, potatoes, vegetables, shell fish, pasta and
rice. The nylon mesh liner 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:

Allow for the water displacement of the basket 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 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.
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.

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...
