As with most polished stainless steel surfaces, the PCH06 may show fingerprints with frequent handling. We recommend wiping it down with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to maintain its luster.
Yes, the 18/10 stainless steel construction is food-safe and durable. It is perfectly suitable for serving bread, rolls, or wrapped snacks, provided you clean it thoroughly after use.
To preserve the finish, hand wash the basket with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could scratch the polished surface.
The basket is designed with a balanced, sturdy base that sits securely on most flat surfaces. However, as with any metal object, we recommend using a placemat or runner if you are concerned about potential scratching on delicate wood finishes.
