Designed for the active kitchen, the Honeydak Teardrop Baskets are built to hold dry produce like onions, garlic, and potatoes. These units are made from a woven synthetic blend that mimics the look of linen but offers practical advantages for food storage. Because the fibers are non-porous, they do not absorb moisture or soil, which helps keep the storage area clean and prevents the growth of mold that can sometimes occur with natural fibers.
The teardrop geometry is specifically designed to keep the center of gravity low, allowing the baskets to remain stable even when full. While the synthetic material is durable, the neck of the basket is a focal point for weight; for the best experience, avoid exceeding 10 pounds of contents. The open-weave design is particularly helpful for produce, as it encourages airflow and helps reduce the buildup of gases that cause fruits and vegetables to spoil faster.
Included with the set are bohemian-style wall hooks. For maximum security, especially when using the larger baskets for heavy produce, you might consider using dedicated wall anchors if mounting into drywall. This ensures the baskets remain safely attached during frequent use.
- Provides three different sizes to accommodate everything from a few heads of garlic to several pounds of onions.
- The synthetic linen blend is easy to wipe down and maintain.
- Features a flexible weave that allows for "over-stuffing" without losing the basket's shape.
If you require a more rigid frame for storing heavier books or office mail, the Chi An Home Wicker Set features an internal wire chassis for added stability.
These baskets are a versatile addition to any home's hanging wall baskets collection, particularly in the kitchen or pantry.
