Why this cutlery basket earns its place
In a busy restaurant or catering kitchen, cutlery goes from table to warewashing to table again, dozens of times per service. You need something that survives the journey without damage, catches nothing, and takes up minimal space. The Olympia Round Cutlery Basket is 140 mm tall with a 113 mm diameter, small enough to tuck between covers on a table or to stack efficiently in a pass, yet sized to carry a full place setting without bulge.
Built from 18/0 stainless steel—the standard for commercial catering—this basket is fully dishwasher safe. That means it goes straight into the pot wash at 70 °C, emerges spotless, and shows no corrosion or discolouration even after years of this cycle. Stainless doesn't harbour smells or flavours, and it won't trap food debris around edges or rivets. The silver finish stays smart under service lights and photographs well if cutlery display matters in your offering.
The round form is traditional for good reason: it holds a knife, fork, spoon and potentially a teaspoon in a compact arrangement that doesn't rattle. The compact footprint means you can carry six or eight baskets at once without them dominating your hands or catching on doorways. For casual dining, fine dining, or catering operations, this is the quiet workhorse that doesn't demand attention but would be missed the moment you run out.
