Will this basket work for french fries and tator tots? The mesh seems tight enough but maybe it closes too tight for that kind of potato fare.

I think it would close too tight for tator tots...may work for some french fries.

Well, "J", this was purchased as a wedding gift Barbecue Set...never actually used it myself. Sorry.

It will be to tight for tator tots, they will squish. It could work with fries depending on how thick they are. The basket is flexible for thicker foods, but the food will stick in basket. The fries should be oiled to prevent sticking.

I believe it would work fine. It is just a powder coated metal basket really. Let me know if you need the dimensions. I will be happy to measure it and supply the measurements. Jay

No, not well. The clips on the sides connect to the bottom with the middle in place. They would be too long without it. It will hold a pretty big burger/bagel both dimensions.

I think so, as long as the baskets aren't too wide or deep. I use it to hold my varying size sauce pots(1, 2 1/2 and 3 quart). The last two rungs near the bottom are a bit bigger & I have a dutch oven pot & a stock pot on those rungs.

I put the top shelf at the highest "notch" and was able to fit shallow baskets to store our dogs leash, flashlights, gloves, etc. I bought the Whitmor 6500-2711 Rattique Shelf Tote, Red ( here's the link -http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CFNYPBA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s03?ie=UTF8&psc;=1). If those are too shallow for what you want, I wouldn't see why you couldn't leave out a shelf and use deeper baskets.

it doesnt tightly close at all, its very loosely closed with hole at bottom. also KrumKake dough isnt hearty enough for ice cream to be on it

It's not very big so if you're doing tiny doughnuts it'll be great but you wouldn't get more than one or two in there without them touching. I'm sure fries would do great.

The buckets are 5 inches tall - which would make most french fries disappear below the rim. Since you would likely place some sort of lining into the bucket (wax paper, aluminum foil, etc.), if you placed a crumpled ball of that material in the bottom of the bucket, the result should be quite satisfactory.

It should - but you can always take the basket out if it does not seal at the edges.

I suppose so. It is a very fine weave on the mesh basket, so I would think it would handle delicate stuff like cottage cheese nicely.

Yes. It fits well also. FYI, I use this pot to boil potatoes for potato salad for one, pasta, eggs. It is a great pot because nothing boils over. I hope this helps.

The mesh is not flexible. There is a little give but not enough to squeeze inside a smaller pot. Plus there is the little stand where you could hang and drain on the lid of the pot. If you're frying small items in a smaller pot id recommend a wok mesh strainer. I personally use this big one to fry in a big outdoor fryer. Hope this helps.

I think the size of grating for the bottom might be too large for guinea pig feet. It would work if you wanted to put a smaller mesh on the bottom.

I got one I use it for carrying fruits and veggies from bountiful baskets have not had any problems with it just make sure you take the side stabler out of the bottom and place them on the top where the hinges are to hold it open.

I don't imagine so. It is a little lite for that. However is works great to put Bar B Que in and cover with foil and return to the pit until ready to serve. I've also stored potato salad in the fridge for parties. Very roomy

I am not sure, I've never done it, but think it would be OK. The mesh is very fine. Sometimes I use the strainer to sift gluten free flours and cocoa powder together (brownies, cake ingred.); it is so fine my kosher salt won't always fit through the mesh.

I would not recommend. It's a great basket for everything else. I would look for one that is designed for dogs and with a cover for safety
