FAQs

What material is the Alessi ABI05 'Octave' basket made from?

The basket is made from high-quality 18/10 stainless steel.

Can this basket be used for fruits or other foods?

While primarily designed for bread and breadsticks, the food-safe stainless steel allows it to be used for other dry goods or decorative purposes. However, avoid acidic foods for extended periods.

Is the basket microwave safe?

No, as it is made of stainless steel, it is not microwave safe.

What are the dimensions of the basket?

The dimensions are 41.5 cm in width, 17.5 cm in depth, and 4.5 cm in height.

How should I clean the basket?

The basket is dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use mild soap and a soft cloth, then dry thoroughly.

Does the design affect stability?

The smooth, curved form is designed for aesthetic appeal. Ensure it is placed on a stable, flat surface for optimal stability.

Troubleshooting

Basket appears dull or has water spots after washing.

Ensure the basket is dried thoroughly after being washed, especially if using a dishwasher. For stubborn spots, a mild stainless steel cleaner or a soft cloth with vinegar can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.

Minor scratches on the surface.

Minor surface scratches are normal with use on stainless steel. Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools. For significant scratches, consider professional polishing if desired, though it does not affect functionality.
