Abstract

A frying basket large enough to contain two or three individual servings of a food product is equipped with a pair of removable partitions including basket divider portions and right angular basket cover portions. When in place on the frying basket, two or three individual servings can be cooked simultaneously in the basket without intermixing, and when completely cooked, the individual servings can be dispensed one at a time from the basket while the remaining servings are retained in the basket for further cooking and subsequent dispensing. One or two of the removable partitions can be utilized with a standard size frying basket. The arrangement avoids the necessity for reweighing or recounting individual servings after cooking and avoids delivering unequal servings to customers.
