Ditto previous comment. This product is crap
The same thing happened to me using this product as happened to the previous reviewer. For all the quality products Lodge makes, this one is garbage. I learned that the hard way when the handle came unlocked as I emptied hot french fries out of it. The fries came within centimeters of scalding my hand. And I couldn't believe the catch was not wide enough to rest on the side of the very dutch oven for which it was designed! I'm going to get a basket whose handle does not fold into the basket for easy storage. I'll take the loss of a little more storage space over a trip to the burn unit any day. If I can find the receipt this one is going back. Problem is I think I threw it away. Aaarrgghh!
Poorly designed
This is a poorly designed basket. Handle has no 'catch' in the use position. Handle freely flops backwards and forward (into the loaded basket). The 'catch' that allows the basket to sit on the top rim (while draining the fried food) does not fit on the rim. Had to use pliers to pull it out some and it still wobbles.
Poor quality Especially for Lodge
Received item well packaged from Amazon. Two places on basket had broken or missing wires. I ran it through the dishwasher before using it. The basket came out with rust everywhere the fine wire is welded long the support frame and the handle. I brought from lodge expecting better quality than this. This is what I would expect from a cheap China import. I figure I'll have to find a replacement within a year of use.
