Product Information

Full details

The Olympia Wicker Oval Bread Basket is designed for foodservice professionals and home hosts looking for an authentic, rustic aesthetic for table service. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-capacity, durable wicker construction with a visually appealing presentation for bread, fruit, or snack items. While these baskets are incredibly versatile, users should note they are made of natural-style wicker, meaning they are best suited for dry food items or use with a liner to prevent staining or moisture absorption.

FAQs

Are these baskets dishwasher safe?

No, these baskets are made of wicker and should not be placed in a dishwasher. Hand wipe only.

What are the exact dimensions?

The Olympia Wicker Oval Bread Basket measures 228mm by 178mm.

Can I use these for hot foods?

Yes, they are suitable for hot items like bread or chips, but it is recommended to use a liner to protect the wicker from grease.

Is the wicker food safe?

Yes, the materials used are intended for food presentation; however, always use a liner for messy or greasy items.

Will the color fade over time?

Like most natural-style finishes, avoid exposing the basket to harsh direct sunlight for extended periods to maintain the original brown color.

Troubleshooting

Wicker fibers are beginning to fray or stick out

Carefully trim any loose or snagged fibers with a pair of small scissors to restore the smooth appearance.

Food residue is stuck in the weave

Use a soft, dry brush to gently dislodge particles. Avoid using sharp tools that could damage the wicker structure.

The basket has picked up an odor from strong-smelling foods

Leave the basket in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight for a few hours to allow natural airflow to neutralize the scent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the Olympia Wicker Oval Bread Basket requires no assembly. Simply ensure the basket is clean before the first use. To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of the wicker, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Shake out any crumbs or debris after each use. If necessary, wipe the surface with a damp cloth.
  2. Avoid Immersion: Never submerge the basket in water or place it in a dishwasher, as this can weaken the wicker and cause it to lose its shape or develop mold.
  3. Stain Prevention: Use a food-safe basket liner when serving items that contain oil, grease, or liquids to prevent permanent staining of the brown wicker fibers.
  4. Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup.
