Can you cook without the baskets?

it would be rather messy. even with the basket everything swirls around and its messy. but i think the baskets are better

We don't have this fryer anymore because it got so hot on the outside, seemed kind of wobbly too; we were afraid our kids were going to end up getting burned if they used it. While you might be able to use it without the basket, your oil may need changing more often since bits that that basket would ordinarily catch would instead float down to the bottom where they may not be able to be retrieved.

I would think so. I bought it for my son out in Oregon and I'm in Ohio. I could ask him.

yes....you can remove the basket and use a slotted spoon I suppose. This is a great deep fryer for 2 people! The filtering system when frying with the lid closed avoids alot of grease splatter.

No basket with this pressure cooker. Great for making dry beans, which is why I bought it.

Yes, I do it. There is a pull -out handle on the right side that fits over larger baskets.

Judy, yes you can, because the basket comes out and there is also a zippered covering for the top of the basket to keep them inside.

I always use it, but if you have something that doesn't fit in it, you could skip the basket. Using the basket makes it easier to drain items as you pull them out.

No. It's too messy. I just empty the basket into a box and toss the box. Hope this helps you.

Yes. There are two screws to fasten the handle to the basket so you can take it off.

No. I have a small, separate plastic basket that sits in it, for that purpose. Don't know where I got it...Lowe's, Bed Bath and Beyond, perhaps?

Can't comment on baking but you can take it out of the oven without a rack.

I had rented one without a basket, and I decided to purchase one with a basket. The basket has made life so much easier.

I do not, I am very careful not to put any thing hot on it, if I do I have a pot holder on the bottom. I do use the extra space while getting everything ready for cooking.

Yes, it can be removed. It is "handle" to pick up the basket. It can easily be removed by unscrewing it. I removed the handle and have left it out. I never use the handle. Hope this answers yoiur question.

Unfortunately, this pressure cooker does not come with a basket. Other than that, it is terrific.

no, but you could probably cut it off. it lays flat on the top of the basket when not in use.

If I didn't want to use the stove top burner does that have to assembled? Can I leave that off?

Yes the basket can be easily removed. The bracket is not an easy target. I put a couple of zip ties to make it a little less attractive to someone that might try on the spur of the moment.
