Hexagonal Fruit Drain Basket for Rinsing and Serving

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

1. 1
   Spread 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.

2. 2
   Rinse under the tap

   Run water over the basket and fruit together. The water drops through the slots instead of pooling under the produce.

3. 3
   Let 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.

4. 4
   Store 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.
