Product Description
The Lincat BA83 is a half size mesh fryer basket designed specifically for use with Lincat Opus fryers. It features a moulded handle and a standard mesh construction suited to everyday deep frying in a commercial kitchen environment.
In a busy service, having the correct basket for your fryer matters more than it might seem. A properly fitted basket ensures even submersion, consistent cook times, and safe, controlled lifting when handling hot oil. The half size format is particularly useful where operators are running smaller batch sizes or separating different products across two baskets in a single tank — a common approach in kitchens managing allergen separation or varying cook times across a menu.
As a genuine Lincat accessory, the BA83 is made to fit and perform as intended within the Opus fryer range. Replacement baskets wear out over time — handles can degrade, mesh can distort — and running a fryer with a worn or ill-fitting basket introduces unnecessary risk during service.
This basket is a direct replacement or supplementary spare for operators already running Lincat Opus fryers. It is not a universal fit and is not suitable for other fryer makes or models. If you are unsure whether this basket is compatible with your specific Opus fryer model, or if you are looking at basket options for a different fryer in the range, the team is happy to point you in the right direction before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The BA83 is designed specifically for the Lincat Opus fryer range and is not a universal fit. If you are unsure whether your particular Opus model takes a half size basket, it is worth checking your fryer's model number before ordering — or get in touch and we can confirm compatibility for you.
- Fryer baskets should be replaced when the handle shows signs of degradation, the mesh has become distorted or damaged, or the basket no longer sits securely in the tank. Running a fryer with a compromised basket creates a safety risk during service that is straightforward to avoid with a timely replacement.
- In many Lincat Opus fryer models, yes — two half size baskets can be used simultaneously in a single tank, which is a practical approach for separating products or managing different cook times during a busy service. Check your fryer's specification to confirm it supports dual half size baskets.
