I work as a professional chef in an upscale restaurant and daily use the finest kitchen tools available. When I cook at home for my family, I like to stock my own kitchen with useful aids, much the way I do at work, though on my salary that can be a challenging feat to accomplish. However, late one night I watched an infomercial on television selling a frying basket much like the one I use at my job. It looked like something I could use a lot. I thought about purchasing one, but before I did, I went online and read many Chef Basket reviews to see if the product was as good as the advertisement suggested it was.
Does the Chef Basket Really Work?
The creators of this basket state that this kitchen product has multiple uses and can work as a colander, deep-fryer basket, vegetable steamer, and strainer. It also can be used to store food in the refrigerator. Its unique design allows it to transform from a colander into a shallow basket for steaming or a deep basket for boiling, poaching, blanching, deep-frying, and par boiling. With its handles, it is easy to transport hot foods from the sink over to the pot, then to the table. Its creative handle design allows them to stay cool even when frying foods in a pot.
Online Chef Basket Reviews:
“My family and I use the Chef Basket almost every day in the kitchen. We love it.” – Jamie E, Denver, Colorado
“The basket was delivered in a jiffy. I use it to cook my hard-boiled eggs. I simply pull them out of the boiling water and dump them in ice water for perfectly cooked eggs”– W. Lutz, Lancaster, PA
A Professional Chef’s Review:
I went online directly to the company’s official website to place my order. I was only going to buy one basket, but then I saw they were offering a free bonus if I paid a small shipping and handling fee. For the cost of a single basket, I received two baskets and a cookbook filled with many recipes created specifically for using this product. In my order was also a free RoboStir, a handy device that when placed in a saucepan will continuously spin to stir sauces, gravy and most any liquid heating on the stove. Truly, it’s a timesaving creative device that is sturdy enough to handle the heat.
I have been using the basket for a month or so and have found many great uses for it. I will have one basket in the sink used as a strainer while I peel, prepare and rinse my vegetables, and the other basket in a hot pot of boiling water cooking my penne noodles or peeled potatoes. I have not used it as a deep-fryer basket just yet, though I am sure it will hold up to the rigors of the intense heat. I love the creative handles that remain cool over a hot stove, which double as legs for the colander when folded down. It works remarkably well as a steamer, too, as well as a way to easily remove perfectly poached eggs out of boiling water.
Like most of the other Chef Basket reviews, I highly recommend this creative basket and the RoboStir device for any individual looking to save time in the kitchen while preparing dinner. Using the basket simply requires less cleanup as it eliminates the need of additional drainers, strainers and colanders.
