If the bread browns very much more quickly, the fat or oil is too hot. Remove pan from heat and cool, but remember that overheated fat or oil can give an unpleasant taste to food. Lower the fish carefully into the frying basket hold; never bend over the pan of hot fat in case it splutters. Reduce the heat slightly, so the fat does not continue to become hotter, cook for: 3 minutes—thin fillets of fish 4 minutes—thicker fillets of fish 5 minutes—thick pieces or steaks of fish Lift the fish in the frying basket hold out of the pan of hot fat, hold the basket hold over the pan for a few seconds, so that the surplus fat drains back into the pan. Tip the fish on to crumpled Tissue or kitchen paper on a hot plate or tin. This drains off excess fat so the fish is really crisp. Serve garnished with lemon, parsley and fried potatoes.

More permanent installations require their own housings and these types are characterised by the basket hold strainer. Here, a suitably strengthened wire mesh or perforated plate shaped into a basket hold is placed inside a sealed housing through which the feed stream flows under pressure. In simplex systems the flow continues until the strainer is clogged with the unwanted solids. At this point the flow is interrupted and the basket hold is manually changed.

A mix of cream covered armchairs and wicker furniture fills this room for a relaxed, country feel. Even the TV stands on an old wicker hamper, while a nook under the stairs is just big enough for a basket hold to hold newspapers and a distressed chest of drawers with a blue/grey finish.
