As you look at the variety of baskets available, consider what you will be serving in your basket. If you will be serving french fries, mozzarella sticks or chips, you may want to find a basket that has a built-in ramekin holder. This is perfect for serving condiments, dips and dressings straight out of the basket. If you will be using the basket to hold fried foods, consider purchasing basket liners.

Cone-shaped baskets are most popular for holding french fries. Rectangular or oval baskets are great for holding bread or breadsticks. Round or square baskets can be used to hold just about anything, such as fresh fruit, bread, vegetables, rolls or other baked goods. Choose between black, chrome and copper finishes.
