PTFE Solid Oven Basket Essentialware for TurboChef 14.5″ x 13.5″ x 1″

Description

Product Overview

The Essentialware PTFE Solid Oven Basket is engineered specifically for high‑speed convection ovens such as TurboChef, Merrychef, and Amana models. Constructed from a robust PTFE‑coated mesh, the basket delivers a non‑stick surface that dramatically reduces food adhesion, making post‑cook cleanup fast and effortless. Its dimensions of 14.5″ length, 13.5″ width, and 1″ depth provide a generous cooking volume while maintaining a compact footprint that fits easily into standard oven racks. The black mesh material is heat‑resistant, allowing it to withstand repeated exposure to temperatures typical of rapid‑cook cycles without warping or degrading. Each basket is lightweight at just 0.29 kilograms, yet it offers the structural integrity needed for commercial‑grade usage. The product replaces the OEM part NGC‑1331, ensuring a perfect fit for existing equipment without the need for modifications. With a design focused on durability, the basket can be reused for hundreds of cooking cycles, delivering long‑term value and reducing waste. The PTFE coating not only prevents sticking but also resists chemical corrosion, making it suitable for a variety of food types, from delicate pastries to hearty roasts. The basket’s mesh construction promotes even heat distribution, helping to achieve consistent cooking results across the entire surface area. Additionally, the basket is engineered to be dishwasher safe for quick sanitation in professional kitchens, though the manufacturer recommends hand washing to preserve the PTFE coating for maximum lifespan. This product is backed by Essentialware’s reputation for quality in laboratory and industrial equipment, providing confidence to chefs and technicians alike.

Usage

Designed for both laboratory and commercial kitchen environments, the PTFE Solid Oven Basket excels in high‑throughput scenarios where speed and reliability are paramount. In research labs, the basket is used for rapid thermal processing of samples, allowing scientists to conduct repeatable heating cycles with minimal cross‑contamination risk. In commercial settings, chefs rely on the basket for quick‑cook applications such as flash‑baking, roasting, and reheating, benefiting from the non‑stick surface that eliminates the need for additional greasing or parchment paper. The basket’s size fits a wide range of TurboChef, Merrychef, and Amana oven models, making it a versatile accessory for establishments that operate multiple oven brands. Its PTFE mesh is ideal for cooking foods that release juices, as the mesh allows excess liquid to drain away, preventing sogginess while preserving crispness. The basket can also be employed for dehydrating fruits, toasting nuts, or preparing small batch pastries, offering chefs a flexible tool that adapts to diverse menu items. Because the basket is reusable, it supports sustainable kitchen practices by reducing disposable waste. Users can easily transfer the basket in and out of the oven using heat‑resistant gloves, and the lightweight design minimizes fatigue during high‑volume service periods. The basket’s durability makes it suitable for continuous daily use in busy restaurant kitchens, cafeterias, and institutional food services where reliability and ease of maintenance are critical.

FAQ

Can the basket be used in ovens other than TurboChef, Merrychef, or Amana?

While the basket is optimized for TurboChef, Merrychef, and Amana high‑speed ovens, it can also be used in any oven that accommodates a 14.5″ x 13.5″ x 1″ basket size, provided the temperature does not exceed the PTFE coating’s rated limit.

Under normal commercial use, the PTFE coating is designed to last for several hundred cycles. Actual lifespan depends on cooking temperature, frequency of use, and adherence to recommended cleaning procedures.

Is the basket dishwasher safe?

The basket can be placed in a dishwasher for convenience, but hand washing with mild detergent is recommended to preserve the integrity of the PTFE coating and extend its service life.
