Air Fryer Basket 11.6in x 6.9in for Emeril Lagasse Dual Zone - Steel

In this review of the Air Fryer Basket 11.6in x 6.9in designed for the Emeril Lagasse Dual Zone 360 Air Fryer Oven, the bottom line is simple: this replacement basket is a practical, heavy-duty option for owners who need a durable, food-safe tray that matches the extra-large 25 QT cavity. The reviewer found the steel mesh construction reliable for crisping fries and wings, and the requirement to preheat before first use is an important one-off step that protects the part from early deformation.

Key Features

• Exact fit: Sized at 11.6in x 6.9in to match the Dual Zone 360 25 QT cavity so it slides in and locks into place without wobble.
• High temperature steel: Made from food grade steel rated to 480F, it withstands high-heat cooking methods like air frying and convection without warping when preconditioned.
• Non-stick finish: The basket's non-stick surface helps food release cleanly and reduces the need for extra oil when crisping items like chicken wings or fries.
• Dishwasher safe: Firm and durable construction means the part is easy to clean in the dishwasher or with a quick soak for stuck-on splatter.
• Versatile use: Works for grilling, baking, frying and roasting - suitable for vegetables, steaks, pizza slices and small batches of baked goods.
• Food-safe material: Constructed from BPA-free, tasteless steel that meets FDA standards for safe cooking contact.

Who It's For

This replacement basket is aimed at owners of the Emeril Lagasse Dual Zone 360 25 QT air fryer oven who need an extra or replacement steel basket sized 11.6in x 6.9in.

It is not ideal for someone who prefers a coated or ceramic accessory that requires no initial conditioning, or for users with a different oven model or nonstandard cavity dimensions. Buyers should confirm their oven interior matches the 11.6in x 6.9in dimensions before purchasing.
