Expert Review and Insights
In buffet presentation, the goal is always to blend inviting aesthetics with bulletproof practicality. The APS basket nails it. It taps into that desirable rustic, artisan trend that customers love, but it’s built with the realities of commercial food service in mind. It's a piece that looks fantastic and works even better.

- Stand Sold Separately: For tiered displays, you'll need to purchase the CB807 stand as well.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a busy tearoom in York, needed to upgrade its countertop display. Their traditional wicker baskets were starting to fray, looked tired, and were a real chore to keep clean, especially with sticky cakes and flaky pastries.
"We wanted to keep that classic, cosy tearoom look, but the old baskets were unhygienic and falling apart. These APS synthetic wicker food baskets are brilliant – they look just like the real thing but we can pop them in the dishwasher at the end of the day. They’ve really smartened up our counter."
Robert Hughes – Owner, The Copper Kettle
The switch has cut their end-of-day cleaning routine by over 15 minutes and the counter display always looks immaculate and professional.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, unpack the basket and give it a quick check over.
- We recommend a quick wash before its first use to ensure it's pristine.
- If you're using the compatible CB807 stand, the basket simply slots into place on the frame.
- It’s now ready to fill! It's perfect for everything from bread rolls to packaged crisps and snacks.
Keeping It Going
- After use, simply wipe clean with a damp, soapy cloth.
- For a thorough clean, the basket is perfectly safe to be placed in a commercial dishwasher.
- Avoid using harsh, abrasive scouring pads as these could scratch the polypropylene surface.
- When dry, these baskets stack neatly on top of one another to save valuable storage space.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this basket actually made of real wicker?
A: No, it's crafted from polypropylene, a durable synthetic material designed to perfectly mimic the look of wicker but with superior hygiene and strength for commercial use.
Q: Can I put this in the dishwasher?
A: Absolutely. One of its best features is that it's completely dishwasher safe, making your end-of-day cleanup quick and easy.
Q: What does GN 1/1 mean?
A: GN 1/1 refers to a standard 'Gastronorm' size (530 x 325mm). This means it's designed to fit perfectly in standard buffet displays, counters, and commercial fridges.
Q: How strong is the frame?
A: It’s very robust. The basket features an integrated stainless steel frame for added rigidity, which prevents it from bending or sagging when full of products.
Q: Can I use this for hot food?
A: It's best suited for displaying ambient or chilled food, such as bread, pastries, fruit, and packaged goods. We wouldn't recommend using it for holding hot food directly from an oven.
Q: What is the CB807 stand mentioned in the description?
A: The CB807 is a compatible chrome-plated stand, sold separately, which is designed to hold two of these baskets to create a tiered 'Double Decker' display.
Q: Will it stain easily from things like fruit or sauces?
A: The polypropylene material is non-porous and highly resistant to staining from most food products and oils, wiping clean easily.
Q: Is the CB802 display basket heavy to carry?
A: No, it's surprisingly lightweight, making it easy for staff to carry and reposition on the counter or buffet, even when it's full.

Explore more from APSWhy Polypropylene Beats Traditional Wicker Every Time
Ever wondered what makes a 'synthetic wicker food basket' so special? It's all down to the material: polypropylene. Think of it as a modern, clever upgrade on a classic. While real, natural wicker is made of plant fibres that can fray, splinter, and absorb moisture (making it a nightmare to clean properly), polypropylene is a non-porous plastic. Spills, crumbs, and even sticky jam just wipe right off, and it can go through a hot dishwasher cycle without any damage. This means you get all the rustic charm and visual appeal of wicker, but with none of the hygiene or durability drawbacks. It's truly the best of both worlds for any busy food environment.
Who Should Buy This?
- Hotel Breakfast Buffets: Ideal for displaying pastries, bread rolls, and fresh fruit in a stylish and hygienic way.
- Artisan Cafés & Bakeries: Show off your sourdoughs and croissants on the counter without worrying about difficult-to-clean crumbs.
- Farm Shops & Delis: Create beautiful, rustic displays for local produce, cheeses, or grab-and-go packaged snacks.
- Event Caterers: A lightweight, durable, and stackable solution for setting up impressive food stations at any venue.
