The 10 x 9cm mini fry basket in two lines
The Al Andalus mini fry basket by Comas is a serving basket in stainless steel, 10 x 9cm and 7cm high, weighing 180g. It is the compact shape in the range: one portion per person, in little more than the space of a coaster. It is sold singly.
It carries fried food, it does not cook it
The name is misleading, so we say it plainly: it is not a fryer basket in a smaller format. It does not go into the oil. Comas places it among its table miniatures and declares its use for presentation. In the kitchen the food is fried in the machine’s own basket, drained, and the portion goes into this basket only for the trip to the table.
Who it is for
For the wine shop that serves wine by the glass with a small fried bite, and wants it to reach the table as something thought through. For the cocktail bar that gives each guest their own portion in the early evening. For the restaurant that uses the basket as an individual side beside the plate. For the caterer who prepares dozens of equal portions for a standing reception.
At home it is the basket for small meatballs, fried olives or crisps: one per guest, to hold in the hand.
Why a mini fry basket this size
Ten centimetres by nine is a base that fits on a side plate, or on the corner of a board. The basket becomes part of the dish and not a second plate: cured meats and cheese on the board, the fried food in the basket beside it, and the table stays in order.
The 7cm of height hold the portion without pieces falling out on the way. The server carries the tray between the tables and all of the food arrives.
A portion shut in a solid container loses its crispness, because the steam cannot get out. A basket lets the air through, and the food holds for the length of a conversation.
The portion is always the same. A full basket is the measure, for whoever fries and for whoever does the costing of the dish at the end of the month.

How the mini fry basket is used
A sheet of greaseproof paper in the bottom absorbs the excess oil and holds the salt. The drained portion is tipped in, the basket is set on a small plate or on the board, and it goes to the table with the sauce on the side. The same basket also serves for sliced bread or breadsticks, when fried food is not on the menu.
How many to order
A mini fry basket turns over once every fifteen or twenty minutes, washing included. The count starts from the portions served at peak service and is doubled, because half the baskets are always between the table and 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 long fried food, to stand on end, there is the round basket, 12.5cm tall. For the portion shared by two there is the rectangular, 21 x 10cm. For a lower, wider shape there is the square, 11 x 11cm. The other serving accessories are in the bar condiment category.
