LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Hand-wash the chrome-plated nickel-steel basket with mild detergent and warm water; scrub specialty mesh gently to remove food residue. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely to prevent corrosion and maintain CSA compliance. Clean handles and rims after each shift to stop bacterial growth and reduce fire risk from grease buildup. Inspect for wear monthly and replace when structure weakens. Keep vents and fryer oil filtered to extend equipment life and lower utility costs.#@@#Additional Info#@#TableCraft Products 4039 taco salad shell basket measures 5½" top, 3" base, 2½" deep with a 15" handle, made from nickel-plated steel with mesh for oil drainage, chrome finish, hand-wash only, made in USA, CSA compliant, ideal for foodservice.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Stop sacrificing speed for control. This chrome-plated metal taco shell basket allows kitchens to produce consistent, shaped taco shells at scale while maintaining operator control and quick turnaround. Designed for continuous service, the basket combines a compact footprint with a long handle for safe, repeatable use in high-volume fry lines.
#@@# Shape Consistency#@#
Engineers sized the basket to 5 1/2 inches at the top, 3 inches at the base, and 2 1/2 inches deep to form uniform taco shells on every cycle. Operators maintain consistent portion size and presentation, which reduces waste and simplifies inventory forecasting.
#@@# Durable Finish#@#
Manufacturers plate the nickel-plated steel body with chrome to resist surface wear and simplify exterior cleaning. Staff benefit from a corrosion-resistant finish that sustains frequent contact with hot oil and handling without rapid degradation.
#@@# Specialty Mesh Design#@#
Designers incorporate a specialty mesh pattern that drains oil efficiently while supporting thin dough during frying. Chefs achieve a crisp texture and even browning because excess oil returns to the fryer, lowering cool-down time between batches.
#@@# Extended Handle#@#
Engineers attach a 15-inch handle to position hands away from heat and splatter, improving operator safety and control. Kitchen teams reduce burn risk while maintaining tactile feedback during placement and extraction from the fryer.
#@@# Compact Footprint#@#
Designers sized the basket to fit small to medium fryers with a round shape and dimensions that occupy minimal workspace. Managers optimize countertop and fryline layout, increasing throughput without requiring larger equipment.
#@@# Hand Washable Construction#@#
Manufacturers specify hand wash only to preserve plating and structural integrity during repeated use. Cleaning staff follow simple procedures that avoid abrasive machine cycles, extending service life and maintaining consistent performance.

Rinse immediately after service and hand wash with detergent at 40–50°C, using a soft brush to clear mesh openings. Dry thoroughly to inhibit corrosion. Replace baskets showing handle looseness, significant plating loss, or warped rims. Log maintenance dates and note CSA or manufacturer guidance for service intervals.
