Product Description
The Lincat BA82 is a full size mesh fryer basket made specifically for use with Lincat Opus range fryers. It is designed as a like-for-like replacement or an additional basket for existing installations, built to the same specification as the basket supplied with the unit.
In a working fryer station, having a spare basket available makes a measurable difference to throughput. With two baskets in rotation, one load can drain and rest while the next goes straight in, keeping the frying cycle unbroken during a busy service. The mesh construction allows oil to fall away cleanly after lifting, which helps maintain oil quality over the course of a shift and keeps portion presentation consistent. The moulded handle reduces heat transfer and gives a stable, controlled grip when lifting a full load from hot oil — a small detail that matters when the station is under pressure.
- Confirmed fit for Lincat Opus fryers — check compatibility with your specific model before ordering
- Full size basket suitable for high-volume frying: chips, battered fish, breaded portions
- Mesh design allows rapid, clean oil drainage after each load
- Moulded handle provides secure grip and reduces heat transfer during service
- Like-for-like replacement, matching original factory specification
This basket is not a universal fit. It is intended solely for Lincat Opus fryers and will not suit all fryer brands or models. If you are unsure whether the BA82 is compatible with your specific unit, it is worth confirming before placing an order.
If you would like to check compatibility or talk through basket options across the Lincat range, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The BA82 is designed specifically for the Lincat Opus fryer range and is not a universal fit. If your fryer is a different Lincat series, it is worth checking with us before ordering to confirm whether this basket is compatible or whether a different basket is more appropriate.
- For most commercial kitchens running a fryer through a full service, a second basket is a practical advantage rather than a luxury. It allows one portion to drain and rest while the next load goes in, which maintains throughput without interrupting the frying cycle — particularly useful during peak covers.
- A well-draining mesh basket helps oil fall away from the food quickly after lifting, which reduces the amount of oil carried out of the tank with each load. Over the course of a busy service this can slow oil degradation, helping extend the usable life of the oil and keeping running costs slightly lower.
