Product Description
The Lincat BA83 is a genuine half size mesh fryer basket made specifically for use with Lincat Opus fryers. It is a direct replacement or supplementary spare — not a universal accessory — and is sized to fit and function as intended within the Opus fryer range.
In a busy service, basket condition matters more than it is often given credit for. A properly fitted basket ensures even oil submersion, consistent cook times, and controlled, safe lifting when handling hot oil at full temperature. The half size format is particularly practical where operators are running smaller batch quantities or splitting a single tank across two baskets — a common approach in kitchens managing allergen separation or products with different cook times on the same menu.
Fryer baskets do wear with regular use. Handles can degrade, mesh can distort or corrode, and a basket that no longer sits correctly in the tank introduces unnecessary handling risk during service. Keeping a spare on hand is straightforward good practice for any kitchen that runs its fryer hard through a shift.
- Correct fit within the Opus fryer tank for consistent submersion
- Half size format supports split-batch and allergen-separation workflows
- Genuine Lincat accessory — made to the same standard as the original equipment
- Moulded handle for controlled lifting from hot oil
- Standard mesh construction suited to everyday commercial deep frying
This basket is intended for operators already running a Lincat Opus fryer. It is not compatible with other fryer makes or models. If you are unsure whether the BA83 is the right fit for your specific Opus model, or if you are looking for full size basket options, the team is happy to help clarify before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The BA83 is designed for the Lincat Opus fryer range, but not every Opus model takes the same basket configuration. If you are unsure whether the half size format is the correct fit for your specific model, it is worth checking with the team before ordering to avoid a return.
- Common indicators include a handle that has become loose or degraded, mesh that has distorted or corroded, or a basket that no longer sits level and flush within the tank. Any of these conditions can compromise safe handling and consistent cooking, and replacement is the practical course of action rather than continuing to run a worn basket through service.
- Running two half size baskets in a single tank is a practical approach some kitchens use to manage products with different cook times or to separate allergen-sensitive items. It is worth noting that oil cross-contact cannot be fully eliminated in a shared tank, so operators with strict allergen protocols should assess this approach against their own food safety procedures.
