The beautiful Saladmaster culinary baskets are designed, developed and made in the U.S.A. and constructed of US 316-steel and precision cut woven mesh material. The culinary baskets offer a variety of uses: vapor cooking, deep frying and blanching, and as a colander for rinsing dried beans and grains, fresh fruits and vegetables or for straining broths and sauces. The mesh basket material provides rapid flow of liquids during the cooking process, which results in faster cooking and time savings.
