BA-428 Stainless Steel Rectangular Mesh Basket Tray with Handles | Wholesale Supplier

Our BA-428 stainless steel rectangular mesh basket tray with handles is a versatile kitchen tool designed for draining, frying, washing, and food preparation tasks. The fine mesh construction allows water and oil to drain while retaining solid food, making it suitable for a wide range of cooking applications. The side handles provide secure grip for lifting and transporting the basket, while the rectangular shape maximizes food capacity and fits efficiently in sinks and fryers.

The fine mesh construction is the defining feature of this basket tray. The mesh is woven from stainless steel wire, creating a grid pattern with small openings that allow water, oil, and other liquids to drain while retaining solid food. The mesh density is carefully chosen to balance drainage efficiency with food retention - fine enough to hold small items like peas and rice, but open enough for rapid liquid flow. The mesh is secured to a wire frame that provides structural rigidity and defines the rectangular shape.

The side handles are a key practical feature of this basket. The handles extend outward from the short sides of the rectangle, providing a comfortable grip for lifting the basket even when full of food. The handles are formed from the same stainless steel wire, rolled into loops for comfortable handling. The handle design allows the basket to be hung on hooks for storage or suspended over a sink or bowl for hands-free draining. The handle height allows the basket to be used in deep fryers or stock pots.

The rectangular shape provides several advantages over round baskets. The rectangular design maximizes usable area, allowing more food to be processed in a given space. The straight sides fit flush against sink walls, making it efficient for washing and draining in standard sinks. The flat bottom provides stable placement on countertops and allows the basket to be used as a display tray for washed fruits and vegetables. The rectangular shape also nests efficiently for storage when multiple baskets are not in use.

The stainless steel construction provides durability and hygiene for food contact applications. The non-reactive surface is safe for all food types, including acidic foods. The mesh and frame are dishwasher safe and will not rust with normal use. The 30-40cm length provides ample capacity for draining large quantities of pasta, washing salad greens, frying multiple portions of food, or displaying washed produce. This basket tray is ideal for home kitchens, restaurants, catering operations, and food service businesses that require efficient draining and food preparation tools.
