Fruit Rinser Perspective

Rinse, drain, and leave it on the table. A bowl-shaped basket with drain holes through its floor and lower wall, a foot ring so it stands clear of the counter, and two flat lugs to carry it dripping from the sink. Nest it in the solid catch bowl and the fruit stays out while the water stays in — or take the basket on its own.

How it is made. The basket is a bowl — a flat floor, then a quarter-ellipse up to the rim — with a 2.4 mm wall and a 3 mm floor. The holes go through the floor in rings and up the lower half of the wall in rows, each one cut straight through the surface; slots run out from the centre like spokes and up the wall along the meridians. A foot ring underneath lifts it 8 mm so it drains onto the counter, not into itself. The lugs are 44 mm flat ears, 4 mm thick, at the rim. The catch bowl is the same shape 6 mm bigger and a little shorter, so the basket's rim sits just proud of it.

PLA Pure. Plain PLA — a plant-based plastic — with nothing added but the colour. Fine with fruit and cold or warm water. Hand-wash; not the dishwasher, never hot water — PLA softens above about 60 °C.

Sizes. Small 16 cm, $16 (with bowl $26). Medium 20 cm, $22 ($34). Large 24 cm, $28 ($42). Shallow is a third as tall as it is wide; deep is half.
