How to clean a deep fat fryer basket -Easily

brearlk

I have been struggling to clean a deep fat fryer basket. The fat was congealed and stuck to the fryer basket like glue.I have searched the internet but the solutions offered simply did not work.
Here is the one that did, and remarkably so easy and simple.

What worked for me was Caustic soda,
I recommend wearing rubber gloves and eye shields
Be very careful and follow the safety precautions on the caustic soda container.

Get a plastic washing up bowl or bucket that will accommodate your basket.
Half fill with water.
Add caustic soda - use strength recommended for clearing drains.
Mix with a wooden spoon.
Carefully lower your basket into the plastic bowl.
Leave overnight, if necessary leave another 24 hours.
When all the gunge has disappeared thoroughly rinse 3 or 4 times in running water.
Hey presto your basket is as new.

Of course it would work...caustic soda can eat into stone floors so sticky grease is no problem.....watch out for the fumes though

What worked for me was binning the whole thing lol. I just use a pan now and just stick into dishwasher after use :rotfl:
