This is a square stainless steel presentation basket from Olympia, designed for serving chips, fries, and similar side dishes at the table. The handle makes it practical for both kitchen staff plating up and front-of-house service, and the square format gives it a slightly more considered look than a standard round wire basket.

In day-to-day service it performs straightforwardly. The all-stainless construction handles the heat and grease of a busy kitchen pass without degrading, and being dishwasher safe it cycles through the pot wash without special handling. It holds a generous portion size suitable for individual or shared side orders.

  • Stainless steel construction resists grease, heat, and daily commercial use
  • Dishwasher safe — straightforward to turn around during service
  • Square format works well for chips, fries, tapas, and bread portions
  • Handled design suits both plating at the pass and table presentation
  • Sold singly, so you can build stock incrementally to match covers

There are no special installation or storage requirements. Being lightweight and stackable in practice, these fit easily into existing smallwares storage. Worth noting that stainless baskets can retain heat briefly after coming off the pass, so operators in fast-casual environments sometimes line them with greaseproof paper — which also helps with portion presentation and keeps the basket cleaner between washes.

This basket suits casual dining, pub kitchens, burger restaurants, tapas bars, and any operation serving chips or small plates as a regular part of the menu. If you're equipping a larger operation and need to match basket sizes across a range of portion formats, it's worth having a conversation about which sizes work best across your menu before ordering in bulk.

Frequently asked questions

Is this basket suitable for serving food directly from the fryer?

It is a presentation basket rather than a frying basket, so it is designed for plating and table service rather than submersion in oil. Most operators use it to serve chips that have already been drained and portioned at the pass.

Do operators typically use a liner with this basket?

Many kitchens use greaseproof paper or a small paper liner inside the basket, both to improve presentation and to make cleaning quicker between covers. It is not required, but it is common practice in casual dining environments.

Is this the right size for a standard chip portion, or is it better suited to sharing?

At 120mm wide and 100mm deep it comfortably holds an individual chip portion and can work for a small shared side depending on your portion sizes. If you regularly serve larger shared portions, a bigger basket may be more practical — worth checking against your standard portion weight before ordering in volume.
