Product Description
The Lincat BA82 is a full size mesh fryer basket made specifically for the Lincat Opus range. It is supplied as a like-for-like replacement or as an additional basket for existing installations, built to the same specification as the basket originally shipped with the unit.
In a working fryer station, having a second basket in rotation makes a practical difference to throughput. One load can drain and rest while the next goes straight in, keeping the frying cycle unbroken through a busy service period. The mesh construction allows oil to fall away cleanly after lifting, which helps preserve oil quality across a shift and keeps portion presentation consistent. The moulded handle reduces heat transfer and provides a stable, controlled grip when lifting a full load from hot oil — a 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 suited to high-volume frying: chips, battered fish, breaded portions
- Mesh design allows rapid, clean oil drainage after each lift
- 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 and is intended solely for Lincat Opus fryers. It will not suit all fryer models or brands, so it is worth confirming compatibility with your specific unit before ordering. If you are unsure which basket is correct for your Opus fryer, the team can help you check before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The BA82 is designed for the Lincat Opus range, but not every Opus fryer uses the same basket size. It is worth checking your specific model number against Lincat's compatibility list, or contacting the team before ordering to confirm the correct fit.
- In most busy kitchens, yes. With two baskets in use, one can drain and rest while the other is loaded and lowered, which keeps the frying cycle continuous during a heavy service. It also means you have a functional backup if a basket is taken out of use for cleaning or inspection.
- Regular degreasing keeps the mesh clear and helps maintain oil quality during service. The basket should be inspected periodically for any deformation to the frame or handle, as a damaged basket can affect load stability and safe handling at the fryer.
