Pros & Cons
Pros
This is a perfect fit for the 5-quart dutch oven that comes in the lodge 5-piece cast iron set. The basket is sturdy, well-built and looks great. Perfect combination for frying.
The handle folds into the basket for easy storage inside the empty dutch oven. No more picking out items with a fork or slotted spoon. The handle is very stable, but when the time comes to put it into the dishwasher, it's quite difficult to fold up.
Cons
Look for a non-chromed non-welded fry basket. Should just be a basic steel basket that's woven together, not welded. The foldable handle seems nice for storage, but doesn't snap in.
Highlights
Quality
I also noticed no problem with the handle coming loose when inverted provided that you clip it in properly
The handle folds into the basket for easy storage inside the empty dutch oven even with the lid on or wherever you might want to store it

I ordered my basket from another not amazon supplier who showed theirs with a red handle but it arrived with a black handle
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I think the supplier has changed the color or the plastic piece on the handle from red to black
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It works just fine as a fry basket inside a dutch oven but the feet are tall enough that youll need to use almost 3 quarts of oil to fully submerge anything sitting in the basket
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
An entire quart of oil is required just to get the oil level up past the feet
