How do you cook food with out the food/coating sticking to the deep fryer basket?

I have a Waring Pro® Deep Fryer all the food I put in the basket sticks to the basket (i.e., shrimp, salmon cakes, chicken, fries, etc.) How do you cook food with out the food/coating sticking to the deep fryer basket?

Are you batter dipping or is this prebreaded/battered stuff?

When putting in freshly battered/breaded food, don't just drop it in.

I hold the piece,hold the top and let most of it go into the oil until the coating starts to cook, that makes it float a little & hardens most of the coating so it doesn't stick.

I really use a non-stick pan and med-low temp.. and it gets browing without sticking on pan.. hope this help and invite me for dinner? HHHHAAAA

I always dip my basket into the oil and then put the food in. That seems to help me, but I get stuff stuck from time to time too.
