Product Information
Full details
The Olympia Wire Presentation Basket is an ideal choice for professional caterers and restaurant owners looking to elevate their food service with a modern, industrial aesthetic. Designed specifically for serving generous portions of sides, tapas, and sharing platters, this stainless steel basket offers durability and style in one package; however, its larger footprint of 260mm width means it is best suited for spacious serving platters or wide table settings rather than cramped dining arrangements.

FAQs
Is this basket safe for contact with all food types?

Is the stainless steel rust-proof?
While highly resistant to corrosion, it should be dried thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots and potential surface oxidation over time.
Troubleshooting
Food particles stuck in wire mesh
Soak the basket in warm soapy water for 5-10 minutes, then use a soft nylon brush to dislodge debris before placing it in the dishwasher.
Surface discoloration or water spots
Wipe the basket with a soft cloth and a mixture of water and vinegar to remove mineral deposits, then polish with a clean, dry towel.
Basket feels unstable
Check if the base wires have been bent out of shape due to heavy pressure; gently realign by hand if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using this basket requires no complex assembly; simply wash it before the first use. To maintain the finish, use standard liquid detergents and avoid abrasive scouring pads that might scratch the stainless steel. While the unit is dishwasher safe, it is best practice to remove any food debris immediately after use to prevent staining. When storing, the baskets can be stacked if space permits, though care should be taken to avoid denting the wire mesh. Ensure the baskets are completely dry before storing to maintain the integrity of the silver finish.
