Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Squid, a popular seaside bistro in Penzance, Cornwall, needed to speed up their kitchen workflow during the frantic summer season. Their single deep-fat fryer was a constant bottleneck, holding up orders for sides and appetisers.
"We started using these NoStik baskets in our main convection ovens for chips and scampi, and the difference was immediate. The quality is fantastic, everything comes out golden and crisp, and it completely freed up our fryer for just fish. It's really smoothed out our service on busy nights."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The change allowed them to increase their appetiser output by an estimated 40% during peak service, significantly reducing customer wait times.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the basket a quick wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Place it directly onto your oven shelf, ensuring there’s a little space for air to move around it.
- For very greasy items like chicken wings, you can place a solid tray on the shelf below to catch drips.
- Pre-heating your oven is recommended for the best and fastest results.
Keeping It Going
- Always allow the basket to cool down before cleaning to avoid warping.
- Hand washing with a soft sponge or cloth is highly recommended to prolong the life of the non-stick coating.
- Never use sharp metal utensils, knives, or abrasive scourers on the surface.
- Store it flat to maintain its shape and protect the mesh.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this basket in any type of commercial oven?
A: Yes, it's suitable for gas, electric, and convection ovens, as long as the temperature does not exceed 260°C (500°F).
Q: Is the NoStik DP540 crisper basket dishwasher safe?
A: To maximise the lifespan of the non-stick coating, we strongly recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
Q: Do I need to use any oil or fat with this basket?
A: No, it's designed specifically for fat-free cooking. The non-stick surface prevents food from sticking without any added oil.
Q: Can I cut food directly on the basket's surface?
A: No. To protect the integrity of the non-stick coating, you should never use knives or other sharp utensils on the basket.
Q: What is the best way to clean off baked-on food?
A: For stubborn residue, simply soak the basket in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before wiping with a non-abrasive sponge.
Q: Will the basket bend or warp under high heat?
A: The integrated NiCr-coated wire frame provides rigidity and helps the basket maintain its shape during normal use within the specified temperature limits.
Q: Is the coating safe for food contact?
A: Absolutely. The PTFE coating is a stable, inert material that is widely used in cookware and is completely safe for food preparation.
Q: Can I stack multiple baskets in the oven at once?
A: Yes, you can stack them on different shelves, provided your oven has good fan circulation to ensure heat reaches all the baskets evenly.
The NoStik Advantage: Small Tools, Major Impact

This isn't just about making food crispy; it's about guaranteeing that the side of chips with Monday's lunch service is just as perfect as the one served on a frantic Saturday night. By investing in a tool that eliminates variables, reduces the need for constant monitoring, and delivers the same excellent result time after time, you're investing in a smoother, more efficient kitchen and a happier, more consistent customer experience. It’s reliability you can count on, bite after bite.
Explore more from No StikWhy a Mesh Basket Delivers a Superior Crunch
Ever wondered why oven chips can end up soggy on the bottom? It's all about trapped steam. A solid baking tray blocks hot air from circulating underneath and traps moisture released from the food, effectively steaming the underside. The NoStik DP540 Crisper Basket solves this with its clever mesh design. Think of it like a hammock for your food; hot air can flow freely above, below, and all around each chip or spring roll. This ensures every surface is cooked evenly and, most importantly, allows steam to escape instantly. The result is a perfectly golden, dry, and crispy finish that a solid tray just can't replicate.
Who Should Buy This?
- Pubs & Restaurants: Serve perfectly golden, crispy chips, onion rings, or chicken wings as sides or appetisers.
- Cafés & Bakeries: An excellent tool for quickly crisping up sausage rolls, pasties, and other savoury bakes.
- Mobile Caterers & Takeaways: Offer healthier oven-baked options with a fried texture, using minimal space and equipment.
- Schools & Hospital Canteens: A simple, effective method for preparing healthier, more appealing food for large numbers.
