The Chef Basket is a new piece of cookware sold on TV that is all the rage right now. It doubles as a strainer or colander as well as a deep frying basket. It works really well to boil noodles directly in the basket by submerging a basket of noodles into a pot of boiling water. The product folds up flat for easy storage right along side your cookie sheets or other large flat cookware.
Using this item couldn’t be any easier. Simply place your food in the basket and immerse it in the cooking liquid of your choice (usually boiling water or broth for noodles and pasta, or hot oil for deep frying). Use the stay-cool handles to remove your food from the pot when its done, then dangle it over the sink or other container to drain off the excess liquid.
Forget about messing around with trying to dump a huge pot of boiling water into a colander! That can be a very dangerous procedure especially if you are dodging a kitchen full of kids, or dinner guests, or a clumsy husband like me.
These things are available online for around and it is money well spent. This is one of those items that become indispensable in your kitchen and you will find yourself reaching for it at least a few times a week if you cook at home very often. If cared for and cleaned properly it should last for years and years. Just use a soft brush and a little soap and hot water for a quick and easy cleanup job.
Although I don’t believe it’s necessary, they do include a little recipe book along with it. Any recipe that calls for boiling, steaming or deep frying and you can reach for this to take care of the job. There are many online resources for some great recipes.
My Mother uses hers to deep fry her famous fried chicken as well as her secret recipe spaghetti and lasagna. She is from Texas where deep frying everything is pretty common. If you prefer to cook a little more healthy you can, of course, use this for pasta or steamed vegetables. No matter what the reciepe, you can use this to make it easier on yourself.
