How to use a three-tiered hanging basket for storing more than just fruit.
I purchased the hanging produce baskets on a whim for my prior apartment, where I imagined a picturesque kitchen with slowly ripening tomatoes and easy-to-grab citrus. My dreams were squashed when that first 87-degree day rolled around: I got home from work to find sticky-sweet, overly ripe produce and too many fruit flies for comfort. The fruit went into the compost and the basket was shoved in a drawer .
The whole apparatus weighs under a pound when empty and is 32 inches long. It has three baskets, with widths of about 6, 9, and 11 inches. It was easy to install, which was a win for me—someone who is not especially handy with a drill or hammer. With a hook at the top, it’s essentially ready to go, no assembly required. To accommodate the high ceilings in my apartment, I hooked the basket onto a longer chain, which I looped over a drilled-in ceiling anchor hook.
At this point each basket serves a purpose. The top is for smaller or lightweight condiments, like slim tubes of harissa or tomato paste and jars of furikake and dukkah; the middle basket is for tinned fish, round cans of tuna and rectangular tins of sardines. The bottom basket is widest, so that’s become a bit of a catchall: It’s the chip and cracker zone, as well as the spot for a few lingering packets of curry paste and the occasional granola or candy bar.
