Why this basketschip pot earns its place
Where the Olympia round basket handles single portions, the square design in large format (120mm × 100mm × 80mm) is built for sharing plates and substantial sides. The square footprint makes more efficient use of table and counter space, while the handle keeps it easy to carry from pass to table, even when you're holding multiple baskets at service time.
The stainless steel construction is identical to the small variant: it won't warp, won't absorb odours, and stands up to the repeated heat exposure of a busy kitchen. At just 220g, it's noticeably lighter than you might expect—light enough that carrying four or five in one hand is genuinely manageable, which matters when you're moving fast. The square sides also mean it won't roll if you set it down quickly, making it easier to manage in a crowded pass.
The "quirky" presentation style that Olympia designed these for is real—a basket with a handle says something different than a dish or plate. It signals care and intention, and it's distinctive enough that guests notice and remember. That matters for restaurants and pubs building a distinctive character in their service, and for catering teams managing event plating at scale.
