  • Practical Charm: Looks brilliant and  is tough enough for a commercial dishwasher.
  • Rigid Form: Lacks the slight flex of natural wicker for oversized items.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grand Hotel in Harrogate needed to refresh its breakfast buffet display. Their existing wicker baskets were becoming frayed and  were difficult to clean properly, raising hygiene concerns and  looking unprofessional.

"We wanted the classic, high-end look of wicker but needed something that could survive our busy service and  daily dishwasher cycles. The APS polyrattan baskets were the perfect solution. They look fantastic, and  our staff love how easy they are to clean and  handle."

Robert Evans – Operations Manager

The switch completely eliminated the need for replacing damaged baskets, saving money and  reducing waste, while cutting daily cleaning time for the buffet setup by 20 minutes.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give the basket a quick wash to remove any storage dust.
  • It's designed to drop straight into any standard GN 1/1 sized frame or counter aperture.
  • No assembly is needed – it’s ready to use straight out of the box.
  • Avoid placing directly on very hot surfaces to ensure a long lifespan.

Keeping It Going

  • For daily cleaning, simply wipe it down with a damp, soapy cloth.
  • The basket is fully commercial dishwasher safe for a deep, hygienic clean.
  • Stack them neatly when dry to make the most of your storage space.
  • The material is shatterproof and  built to last, requiring minimal upkeep.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Displayware

Not sure what fits best for your setup? Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect displayware for your business.

Check the GN Size

Always match the Gastronorm size (e.g., GN 1/1, GN 1/2) to your existing counters or frames for a seamless, professional fit.

Material Matters

Poly-rattan offers a rustic look with superb durability. For hot food, consider stainless steel, and  for colourful options, look at melamine.

Think About Storage

If space is tight, stackable containers are a must-have. It’s a simple feature that makes a huge difference in a busy stockroom.

Match Food to Container

Use baskets like this for dry goods such as bread and  pastries. For wet, hot, or chilled dishes, insulated or metal gastronorms are essential.

Consider Your Aesthetic

The look of your displayware impacts your brand. This dark brown basket adds a warm, rustic touch, while classic white porcelain feels more traditional.

Why Poly-Rattan is a Smarter Choice for Your Buffet

Ever wondered what 'poly-rattan' actually is? It’s a clever, food-safe synthetic material designed to give you the charming look of natural rattan, but with the toughness needed for a commercial setting. Think of it like this: it’s got all the rustic appeal of a traditional countryside basket, but with the practical strengths of modern kitchenware. Unlike real wicker, poly-rattan won't absorb moisture, stain from food, or fray into sharp splinters over time. The biggest win? You can pop it straight in a commercial dishwasher for a thorough, hygienic clean – something you could never do with a natural basket. This means you meet the highest food safety standards with zero fuss, a huge plus for any food business.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Hotels & B&Bs: An ideal choice for elevating your breakfast buffet presentation for pastries, fruit, and  fresh bread.
  • Contract Caterers: A durable, stackable, and  hygienic solution for mobile event buffets and  corporate functions.
  • Bakeries & Delis: Perfectly showcases your artisanal breads and  baked goods with a charming, rustic aesthetic that stays clean.
  • Farm Shops & Grocers: Creates attractive, long-lasting displays for fresh produce that are easy to wipe down and  maintain.
