Good Product: Double-Tier Produce Basket

2008_06_12-ProduceBasket.jpgWe had a question last winter about the best way to store fruits and vegetables. We wish we would have seen this double-tier produce basket then, because this is truly a good product.

 
 

What we like: It has full air circulation, which helps keep things from spoiling or going soft too fast. It also has two separate baskets, good for keeping onions and potatoes separate. And then of course the most obvious advantage is the two-basket design - maximizing countertop storage. It's nice enough to keep out on the counter but it would fit in a pantry closet too.

Dimensions: 14¾"W x 14¼"H x 11"D.

We like it! Does anyone use one like this? We're always scrambling for fresh fruit and vegetable storage this time of year...

not s very good ad -- first off potatoes should not be stored next to onions, and secondly, they should not be stored in the light -- they'll go green.

cat on keyboard -- I actually typed "that's not a very good ad" -- but she erased part of it...

I have one with two baskets made out of stainless tell or something. I don't really care for the look of this one though.

I really like this! In my old apartment I had the typical three-tiered hanging basket, but had to leave it behind. This one would definitely do the trick, and a small footprint to boot.

Unfortunately Fresh Finds does not ship outside of the USA.

I like the look of that basket too.

But I must admit our newest method of keeping fruit and veggies fresh is those Debbie Meyer Green Bags. I really didn't think they'd work, but for $10 we decided to try them and they have extended our produce for WEEKS!

We also have her bread and cheese bags now too, I'm a believer!

Crate and Barrel has a similar 2-tier basket as well - I think it may have a larger bottom, but it's also a bit more stylish...

i can't figure out if i like this or not. i do but i don't.

i've never been a fan of those tiered hanging baskets, and this just feels like one of those but with feet ;)

i am intrigued by bobcat's green bags and am now off to google!
