- Pros: The modular aspect is genuinely useful for creating bespoke, continuous displays.
- Cons: The wide gaps in the wire mean it’s unsuitable for smaller, loose items.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a bustling tearoom in the heart of Keswick, was using a mix of dated wicker baskets that were difficult to clean and becoming frayed. They needed a more professional and hygienic solution for their popular scone and cake counter.
"Our counter display was letting us down. These Olympia baskets have completely refreshed the look. They’re so much cleaner, look incredibly smart, and our customers have commented on how much better the presentation is. Best of all, they go straight in the dishwasher at the end of the day."
Robert Davies – Owner, The Copper Kettle
The switch to the stainless steel wire display basket has streamlined their end-of-day cleaning routine, saving the team around 20 minutes daily.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack carefully and remove all packaging.
- Give the basket a quick wash with warm, soapy water or run it through the dishwasher before its first use.
- Place on a clean, level, and stable surface.
- If using multiple baskets, simply arrange them side-by-side to create your desired layout.
Keeping It Going
- For a quick clean, simply wipe down with a soft, damp cloth and a food-safe sanitiser.
- The basket is fully dishwasher safe for a thorough, hygienic clean.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals which could scratch the polished finish.
- Always ensure the basket is completely dry before storing to maintain its shine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this basket suitable for hot food?
A: It's made of stainless steel, so it can handle warmth. However, it's designed for presentation, not for use in high-temperature heated display cabinets.
Q: Can the baskets be stacked on top of each other?
A: No, their design is modular for side-by-side placement to create a larger, flat display area, not for vertical stacking.
Q: Will the stainless steel rust over time?
A: The high-quality stainless steel used is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, especially when cleaned and dried properly.
Q: What is the best way to clean the basket?
A: For best results and ultimate convenience, it is fully dishwasher safe. Alternatively, wash with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
Q: Is the finish shiny or matte?
A: It has a highly polished finish, giving it a bright, reflective, and shiny appearance.
Q: How heavy is it? Is it easy to move?
A: It's very lightweight at only 0.33kg, making it extremely easy to move and reposition on your countertop as needed.
Q: Could I display loose items like nuts or small sweets in it?
A: It's not recommended. The gaps in the wire frame are best suited for larger items like bread, fruit, or packaged goods. Small items would likely fall through.
Q: How do the 'modular' baskets connect?
A: They don't have physical connectors. They are simply designed with flat, straight sides so they sit perfectly flush against one another, creating a seamless visual line.
