Fruit stays dry when it rinses on the raised slotted base, and the same basket goes straight to the table as a fruit plate. The matte pastel shell looks deliberate next to other kitchen pieces, and four colorways make it easy to match your counter.
Hexagonal drain basket that doubles as a fruit plate, with a slotted base for drainage
- produce sitting in standing water
- cluttered counters needing attractive fruit display
- rinsing fruit without a separate colander
One basket that rinses your fruit and serves it
Produce that sits in standing water goes soft fast, and the extra bowl clutters the counter. This hexagonal basket drains at the sink and sits out as a fruit plate.
A slotted base that keeps fruit dry
- A base that drains while it displays
The cut-outs in the raised base let water leave the basket as soon as you rinse. Fruit sits above the wet surface, so grapes and berries stay firm instead of softening in the bottom layer. The same base is what makes the piece look like a deliberate display rather than a utility colander.
- Matte pastel that looks intentional
The plastic has a matte surface in four pastel shades: dusty coral, slate blue, sage green and blush pink. It sits next to other kitchen pieces without a shine to fight with. Pick the shade that matches your cabinets and the basket reads as decor.
- Rinse at the sink, then set it out
Once the fruit is drained, you carry the basket to the table. Apples, cherry tomatoes and plums fit in one layer with room to spare, and nothing needs to be transferred to a second bowl.
From the sink to the table in one move
- 1Spread the fruit in one layer
Place grapes, berries or small plums across the slotted base. Piling fruit deep blocks the openings and leaves the bottom pieces wet.
- 2Rinse under the tap
Run water over the basket and fruit together. The water drops through the slots instead of pooling under the produce.
- 3Let it drain for a few minutes
Set the basket on the counter until the fruit stops dripping. Dry the outside of the basket with a towel before you carry it anywhere.
- 4Store it or serve it
Move the fruit to the fridge if you are storing it, or leave the basket on the table as the fruit plate. Eat soft or bruised pieces first.
Easy to rinse and wipe down
- Rinse with warm water
Warm water and dish soap clear off juice and sticky residue.
- Use a soft sponge
A soft sponge keeps the matte finish even. Skip scouring pads.
- Air dry before storing
Let the slots drain fully so no moisture sits under the base.

Questions and answers
It holds a single layer of apples, plums or cherry tomatoes with room to spare, which covers a normal day of snacking for a small household. For a big weekly haul, rinse in two batches. The single-layer rule is also what keeps the fruit dry, so a deeper pile would work against the drainage.
The openings are sized so water runs through them, and small berries sit on top of the base rather than dropping in. Crumbs and stems can collect in the slots, so a quick rinse after serving keeps them clear.
Yes, it is made for daily use with food. Wash it with warm water and dish soap, and use a soft sponge so the matte finish stays even. Strong-colored berries can leave a faint tint if the basket stays wet for a long time, so rinse it soon after use.
A standard colander drains well but looks like a kitchen tool, and you still need a bowl or plate to serve from. This basket does both jobs. You pay for one piece instead of two, and you skip moving wet fruit from one container to another.
Two pieces cost more than one and take up two spots on the counter. The basket removes the transfer step, which is where most fruit gets bruised or left wet. Over a year of weekly rinsing, one piece is the simpler buy.
