Will this basket hang on the side of a cast iron Dutch oven while the fried food drains?

Yes it will provided the Dutch oven you are using has high enough walls to get over the depth of the oil.

Yes no problem! You need to cut off the plastic between the handle so you can take it off to put the lid on though!

Sorry, I don't know. I folded the handle down and placed it in the Lodge cast iron pot before wrapping it for a Christmas gift It will store there great and be useful. But, I did not notice if it would hang....

Hi,It would probably hang off a little on both sides, which may not be a problem, but after reading John O. Davis's response, I don't know if that would be the best thing for such an expensive and nice kitchen appliance. I hope this helps.

I don't see why it wouldn't, if it's properly installed/anchored. I've got power and hand tools that outweigh the cast iron cookware hanging from mine.

I returned the basket because it did not stay standing, just kind of sunk into a lump of fabric. So I never got that far--but your thinking seems logical that the insulation properties are not intact if there is a drawstring--but I can't speak from experience.

Depends upon whether of not you're going to use the basket. You need more oil to cover your items if you do. I find I don't use the basket and just scoop the fried items out with a chinese strainer. Normally I put a couple of inches of oil in it. Can't give you a measurement for that, however.

It depends how big your oven is, but normally if you hang it from the upper rack (given you have room) so it will be more or less in the middle of it. Hope this helps you, good day!

The basket I have measures 3 3/8" deep overall including legs which are 5/8" and about 8" wide at the widest at the bottom. It is 9" across at the top not counting the handle. I got mine to use in a 5 quart Dutch oven which is 4" deep. The handle angles up and is hinged so there is no problem using them together. It would work in a fry skillet also. If your fryer's are 3" deep you will have about 1 3/8" of oil to cook food in after subtracting the legs since your oil should be at least an inch below the top of the fryer when loaded.

I'm not certain, but a front basket for me has worked well, especially if something shifts in my basket, I can see it and readjust before becoming unstable.

Since I don't have a Dutch Oven (cast iron? ) with legs, I'm afraid I can't help you. Would imagine it would depend on size of pot and where legs are positioned in reference to stoves handles. Might be unstable due to weigh and configuration. I prefer a flat bottom pot. Sorry I can't be of more help.

You just lay the basket into the fryer there is no down position just in the fryer. It does have a drain position you hook the basket to.

I use mine with a 6-7 qt. dutch oven. Not the same diameter but I did not find it unstable.

No it won't hang from the sides of my sink. It is not wide enough. I have a standard double sink.

Personally, I don't think the sides are high enough to be safe. Also, the basket can pop off if weight shifts around. So, in my opinion, no.

Yes it is. Although I lay my rack on its side because it is too tall for my shelf. It will hold my cast iron on its side and also when I put the shelf upright too.

Probably not. It would need to hang over the edge on the outside. However mine washes out very easily. Food does not stick.

yes the utensil holder can hag off the side or end of the rack (except on the plate end).

I think it is sturdy and stable enough to hold a nice, heavy dutch oven (especially if you place it on one of the lower shelves to increase stability). My plant is on the top shelf, and there is absolutely no wobble.
