I love to cook, and because of that, I am constantly searching for tools that can help me save time doing the mundane parts of preparing the meals I create. I recently saw an ad on TV selling a collapsible basket that could be used in frying, steaming and straining, and it also doubled as a colander. I went online and read many Chef Basket reviews and feedback responses from customers who have purchased and used the product.
Because I am in the kitchen every day cooking meals for my family, it is important that the money I spent on cooking tools are not just for items that turn out to be a gimmick. The price of this basket was low enough that I thought I would order one if its customer feedback was positive from individuals who had purchased the product. The different Chef Basket reviews I read on the Internet seemed to indicate the product worked as the infomercial claimed.
How the Product Works
The company that created the Chef Basket claims that the product is designed to completely collapse flat so it can be stored in a drawer. When opened up in one direction, it forms a large basket that can be used to hold pastas and potatoes when you’re boiling hot water. When the basket is flipped upside down, it creates a shallower container to be used as a steamer, which when placed on its handles holds the basket above the boiling water. Because it is made of metal, it holds up well when used as a deep fryer in a large pot.
What Chef Basket Customers Say:
“The handles definitely did not get hot, and it was nice to be able to just fold the handles over and sit it in the sink to rinse the potatoes off without having to dirty up a separate strainer. It was so easy to clean, too.” – Edward Dils, Amazon.com
“This item came very quickly and is of great quality.” – Karen “Karen,” Amazon.com
What This Customer Says:
After seeing the advertisement on the television, I went online and ordered the product directly from the company’s official website. It arrived promptly at my front door, and I started using it the next day. I made mashed potatoes and used the basket to contain the peeled potatoes in hot boiling water until they had finished cooking. When they were done, I simply grabbed the cool handles from the side and lifted the basket to drain the potatoes. This not only saved me the need to use a colander, but I could leave the pot of hot water on the stove until it cooled down before emptying it.
In the few weeks that I have had the Chef Basket, I have used it as a steamer to cook my vegetables in a pot. It worked very well. I have also used the basket in the sink to rinse lettuce and tomatoes when preparing a salad. Along with that, I have made lasagna and used the basket to cook the large noodles before assembling the dish to bake in the oven.
Receive Bonuses for Free
When I ordered the product online, it came with an additional basket, a free cookbook with recipes specifically designed to use with the Chef Basket, along with a RoboStir. This clever machine can be placed in the pot or saucepan to continuously stir any dish while it is cooking. You have to see it to believe it. These bonuses are free with the product, and I only needed to pay a small shipping and handling charge to have it delivered to my door. All of these were reasons that I wanted to write my own Chef Basket review, and I highly recommend this product.
