Cracker Baskets

While long oblong baskets are most popularly used for crackers, they can also be used to display and serve a wide variety of food items, such as oblong loafs of bread, breadsticks, fruit or even mints. If you are going to serve loaves or rolls in your basket, you might want to look for a plastic faux-weave basket that is dishwasher safe. For all other purposes, natural woven baskets such as wicker or rattan baskets look presentable and offer a natural warm-colored tone.
