This is the manufacturer-matched replacement basket for the Buffalo countertop electric fryer range, specifically compatible with the 5 litre single tank model (CU616) and the 2x5 litre twin tank model (CU618). It is a straightforward like-for-like spare, designed to fit correctly and function as the original basket would.

In a working kitchen, fryer baskets take considerable punishment — repeated immersion in hot oil, constant lifting under load, and daily cleaning cycles all take a toll over time. Having a spare basket on hand means a worn or damaged basket does not become a service disruption. Many operators keep at least one spare per fryer as a matter of routine, particularly in kitchens where the fryer runs throughout the day.

A correctly fitting basket matters more than it might appear. A basket that does not seat properly in the tank can affect oil drainage, create a handling hazard, and wear unevenly. Using the manufacturer-matched part ensures the basket sits and operates as intended.

This basket is suited to any operator running a Buffalo CU616 or CU618 fryer who needs a direct replacement. It is not a universal fryer basket and will not fit other tank sizes or fryer makes. If you are unsure which basket corresponds to your fryer model, or if you are sourcing spares for a different Buffalo fryer in your kitchen, the team are happy to point you in the right direction before you order.

Frequently asked questions

Will this basket fit any other Buffalo fryer models?

This basket is designed specifically for the Buffalo CU616 (single 5 litre) and CU618 (twin 2x5 litre) countertop electric fryers. It is not a universal fit and may not seat correctly in other Buffalo fryer models or different tank sizes. If you are unsure which basket corresponds to your fryer, contact the team with your model number before ordering.

How often should fryer baskets be replaced in a commercial kitchen?

There is no fixed interval — it depends on how heavily the fryer is used and how the basket is handled and cleaned. Signs that a basket needs replacing include visible wire breaks, a bent or misshapen frame that no longer seats correctly, or a corroded handle. Many busy kitchens keep a spare basket in stock so they can swap out immediately rather than waiting for a replacement to arrive.

Is it worth keeping a spare basket on hand for a countertop fryer?

For kitchens where the fryer runs throughout service, having a spare basket is a sensible precaution. A damaged basket found at the start of a shift can halt fryer output until a replacement arrives. The cost of keeping one spare in stock is modest relative to the disruption a missing basket can cause during a busy service.
