the bottom basket on mine is slanted... I assume it is not supposed to be like that? The weld on the right is higher than the weld on the left.

I'm guessing it's a defect. I inspected mines and it is level on the bottom basket.

Yes and no - There is a hook at the front of the basket directly across from the handle which allows the basket to be raised up. However, when using this feature since there is no hook on the handles side, the basket is slanted. In the raised position, the bottom of the basket is only 3" or less from the bottom of the pan on the hook side which may not be above the surface of the oil. The bottom of the basket on the side near the handle is less than 2" above the bottom of the pan. I have never used this pan to fry in so don't know how well it would drain. I bought it since I wanted a large saucepan but was disappointed that the lid had a cut out for the basket handle. It was not noticeable to me in the picture since I wasn't expecting that. In the above picture, the dark area right next to the pan handle is the cut out.

Yea it is wobbly and unattached and it is suppose to rotate. If it isnt you going through the same thing I did.

Ours are perfectly flush so there may be an issue with your item. This item has worked well for us.

i wanted to use it for the same thing and when it arrived the shelves were tilted slightly. I didn't know if this was intended or a defect. I returned.

We had the same problem. Then we realized that we had the bottom metal bars where the top ones go and vice versa. Make sure you have the right bars in the right places.

Are you sure the unit is properly assembled? Either your adjustment bar is bent, or your placement needs to be backed off a notch (possibly both!). Either way, your "level position" isn't where you think it should be. Find that position and go with it!

That's interesting, you're more observant than I was. Mine is installed and the handle is on the right as in the specs and it's on the right side of my sink. Would or could it be reversed if it was on the left side of the sink??

Actually, there must be something extraordinary taking place. I am using the clamp as you mentioned and it is a relatively tight fit without a lot of wobble. There is supposed to be a brass/bronze bushing in the hole in the clamp, if it is no there then it would be very wobbly. Hope this helps.

I think they must all be like that because mine is too. Its like its a little crooked or something. I still use it all the time and it makes great bread so I never returned it. I've had it a couple years now. The lid doesn't seem to effect the cooking, its more or less just one of those annoying things you get use to.

Mine doesn't slant for some reason and I don't see that it is adjustable. I keep looking under there and I can't see it would ever move.Last one I had annoyed me b/c it slanted and wiggled. Love that this one is sturdy and straight. Have the company send a new one! Yours might be defective.

Mine was like that also but frankly it didn't seem to matter. The lip of the top should at least have some overhang on the bottom. My top and bottom did not fit snugly. The bread come out great anyway. I do wish it was glazed inside but other than that it has worked fine. If it is a gap that you can actually see in the side though then it isn't right and I would send it back. Hope this helps.

Mine works perfect, the leaning is about right perhaps yours is not put together the right way

Mine is level, and fit very snug. Im wondering if the brackets that join the two sides are bent?

The bottom of the basket tube is even with the top of the hitch tube. Hopefully that makes sense.

Mine is perfect.! It may not be leveled or some of the srckoos are not tightned all the way.

Yes it is slanted. If you have something to fasten it to like a deck and the bottom will set on something solid it is very sturdy.
