The square serving basket in two lines
The Al Andalus square serving basket by Comas is a stainless steel basket for fried food, 11 x 11cm and 4.5cm high, weighing 200g. It is the low, compact shape in the range: one portion per person, laid flat and not piled up. It is sold singly.
It looks like a miniature fryer, but it serves on the floor
Comas names this model after the fryer, because it takes up its shape. The use it declares, though, is presentation, and it lists it among its table miniatures. It is not a basket to lower into the oil and does not replace the one in the machine. Anyone looking for a spare part for a fryer needs to look elsewhere: here the food arrives already cooked and drained.
Who it is for
For the wine shop and the wine bar that serve a fried portion per person with the glass: croquettes, mozzarella bites, stuffed olives. For the cocktail bar that wants a low container, to set on the bar without hiding the drink. For the restaurant that uses it for the individual side. For the taproom that serves wings or chicken bites as a single portion.
At home it is the basket for fried snacks with drinks, to set on the coffee table beside the glasses.
Why a square serving basket
The 11 x 11cm base is wider than that of the round model, and the height is less than half. Round or bite-sized fried food, which piles up in a tall basket, sits here in one layer: croquettes and mozzarella bites are not crushed and are picked up from above with a cocktail stick.
The square shape sits side by side. Two baskets next to each other on a board make a tidy rectangle, one per type of fried food. With round shapes the same plate leaves empty gaps.
A container 4.5cm high does not hide what is in it. The guest sees the whole portion when it arrives, and whoever is at the bar sees the drink behind the basket.
The low layer lets the steam disperse. It is the reason fried food laid flat reaches the table drier than food in a stack.

How the square serving basket is used
The bottom is lined with a sheet of greaseproof paper, which absorbs the oil. The drained portion is tipped in and taken to the table on a small plate or a board, with the sauce in a separate dip pot. When fried food is not on the menu, the basket serves for crisps, bread or condiment sachets.
How many to order
One portion per person means one square serving basket per person. The count starts from the seats served at peak service and is doubled: part of the baskets is always in the wash, and service must not wait for the sink.
The more you buy, the less you pay: 4 pieces -5%, 6 -7%, 8 -10%, on the same item. The discount applies automatically in your shopping basket.
Cleaning
Comas declares the material, stainless steel, and the use, presentation at the table. It does not declare dishwasher use for this item, so we do not state it here as a fact. By hand it is washed with hot water and washing-up liquid, with a bottle brush or a soft brush where the grease collects, and dried before stacking.
The other shapes in the range
For chips there is the round basket, 12.5cm tall. For a compact, taller portion there is the mini basket, 10 x 9cm. For fried food shared by two there is the rectangular, 21 x 10cm. The other serving accessories are in the bar condiment category.
