In a pressure chicken fryer, loading the basket matters as much as the cooking settings. A standard basket loaded with stacked pieces creates contact zones between the chicken pieces — they stick during cooking, which causes uneven cooking on the contact faces and tearing at unloading. The two-tier basket solves this structurally: its design separates the pieces across two levels, guaranteeing even circulation of heat and pressurised steam around each piece. €349 excl. VAT.
How the Two-Tier Basket Works
The two-tier basket has an intermediate grille that divides the cooking space into two distinct levels. The pieces on the lower and upper levels never touch directly. During pressure cooking:
- Heat and steam circulate freely around each piece
- No cold zone between two stuck pieces
- The breading stays intact at unloading — no tearing
- Cooking is uniform whatever the piece's position in the basket
The result is visible: every piece comes out with a complete coating, an even golden colour, and a crisp texture on every face — including those that were in contact with the tier or the basket grille.

What Restaurant Owners Ask
- What is the two-tier basket for in a pressure chicken fryer?
- The two-tier basket divides the 25L tank into two separate cooking levels: you can cook two different piece types at once (drumsticks above, filets below, for example) without mixing. It optimises the usable volume of the fryer and lets you serve mixed orders in a single 4-minute cycle.
- Is this basket compatible with my MFF or Henny Penny pressure fryer?
- This basket is designed for 25L Henny Penny-type pressure fryers (Computron) and MFF models of the same format (EasyFry, Classic Board, Compu-T). Check your tank dimensions before ordering — 25L fryers generally share the same basket format. For any compatibility question, contact our team with the exact model of your machine.
- Is it essential to keep a spare basket in stock?
- In intensive chicken service, the basket is a wear part subject to repeated thermal cycles and mechanical stress (loading/unloading several times per hour). A damaged or warped basket creates handling risks under pressure. Keeping a replacement basket in stock lets you continue production without interruption in case of failure.
