Using your Nella fryer basket is a breeze. First, make sure your fry pot, sauce pot, or other suitable container is clean and filled with the appropriate amount of oil or liquid for the task at hand. Then, place your food in the basket and gently lower it into the hot oil or liquid. When the food is cooked to your liking, carefully lift the basket out. After each use, let the basket cool down completely. Then, wash it with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse it thoroughly and dry it well to prevent any rust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as they can damage the nickel plating. Store the basket in a dry place when not in use to keep it in top condition.
