Second hand unit, given to me by a friend. The basket is a little rusty, and the unit it sits in is scratched on the bottom enough to remove some paint.
I have some toaster liners for the bottom. Would they be ok in the fryer?
I’m kinda surprised a cooking utensil like that is prone to rust. Maybe it was cleaned to aggressively?
Is there a way to rehab the basket? I’ve had times when mistakenly burned the carbon layer off my cast iron pan, and I used the accepted methods to build it back up.
