Price Match

This APS basket is designed to sit directly into standard 1/3 GN configurations, making it a practical choice for buffet counters, self-service stations, and display setups where presentation matters but so does practicality. The rattan-effect finish gives a natural, informal look that works well for bread service, snacks, condiments, and similar items, without the maintenance concerns that come with genuine wicker or natural materials.

Constructed from polypropylene rather than actual rattan, the basket holds up reliably in the kind of daily service environment where real wicker would quickly deteriorate. It can be wiped down easily between services, and the material does not absorb moisture or food debris in the way natural fibres would. For kitchens and front-of-house teams running a consistent buffet or grab-and-go offer, that difference matters over time.

  • Fits standard 1/3 GN frames and inserts for straightforward integration into existing setups
  • Rattan-effect polypropylene finish suits informal dining, continental breakfast, and self-service displays
  • Lightweight at 280g, making it easy to handle and reposition during service
  • Stackable design keeps storage compact when not in use
  • Wipe-clean surface reduces turnaround time between services

It is worth noting that this basket is a display item rather than a food-safe container for direct food contact in all contexts — operators should consider liner use depending on what is being presented. It is well suited to lower-volume operations such as boutique hotels, cafés, and small restaurant buffets. For higher-volume or more intensive display requirements, a more robust alternative may be worth considering.

If you are putting together a buffet display or self-service counter and want to make sure the sizing and finish works with your existing setup, we are happy to help you think it through.

Frequently asked questions

Can this basket be used directly in a GN frame or bain-marie?

The basket is sized to 1/3 GN and will sit within a compatible frame, but it is a display item rather than a food-service insert designed for heated or chilled wells. It is best used for dry goods presentation such as bread, snacks, or packaged items at ambient temperature.

Is the basket dishwasher-safe?

The polypropylene construction is wipe-clean and low-maintenance, though APS do not specify dishwasher suitability for this item. For busy services, a damp cloth between uses is generally sufficient given the dry-goods display nature of the product.

Is this basket suitable for a high-volume hotel buffet operation?

It is well suited to smaller or mid-scale operations such as boutique hotels, cafés, and restaurant breakfast setups. For larger-scale or more intensive buffet operations with frequent handling and rapid turnaround, it may be worth considering a heavier-duty display option to ensure longevity.
