Key Features & Benefits

↔️ Expandable Sink-Spanning Design

The adjustable side supports are designed to extend across compatible sink widths.

This allows the basket to sit above the basin rather than taking up countertop space.

🥬 Great for Washing Produce

Place vegetables and fruit inside and rinse them directly over the sink.

Use it for:

• Lettuce
• Tomatoes
• Corn
• Cucumbers
• Fruit
• Other compatible produce

💧 Open Mesh Drainage

The fine open basket allows rinse water to pass through instead of collecting around food or dishes.

🍽️ Useful for Dish Drying

The basket can also provide temporary drying space for compatible:

• Cups
• Small bowls
• Utensils
• Lightweight dishes

🏠 Saves Counter Space

Because it uses the area above the sink, it can help preserve valuable counter space for chopping and meal preparation.
