The $6 basket liner from a yard sale in Modesto fixed my soggy veggie problem
Three weeks ago I grabbed a cheap perforated basket insert at a yard sale in Modesto, mostly because it was $6 and I felt bad walking away. Before that, my zucchini and pepper strips kept coming out limp on the bottom since they sat right in the grease drip. The little tray lifts food about half an inch off the bottom and pulls air under everything, and last night my fries finally came out crisp all the way through instead of half steamed. Has anyone else tried a riser basket, and does it work as well for chicken thighs as it did for veggies?
