Plastic grocery bags retain moisture, speeding the demise of potatoes and onions. These breathable woven baskets, used for centuries in Europe, are a better solution. They fill from the top, and dispense vegetables from the pocket below. And they add a little country style to your kitchen or pantry. Set of two; large holds about 30 lbs. of potatoes, small holds about 6 lbs. of onions. Hand-woven willow with braided sea grass handles.

Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
I love these baskets. Larger one is quite big but I'm still am very happy with my purchase. I have a large kitchen so not a problem but if your space is limited it could be.
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
I think this will work well for storage next winter

Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
Admittedly, I bought these more for onions than potatoes. Onions are a much more regular item on the menu for me. So, right now only the onion container has anything in it. But, I love it! Ideally, I would have purchased 2 of the smaller ones as I'm certain I will never have enough potatoes to fill the larger one.
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
We purchased these for ourselves because we were tired of our potatoes and onions molding in the fridge - we were so very pleased with how well these products worked and our produce keeps longer. Who would have thought....just put your food in a basket. Some of the old ways are the best ways!!! My sister and her boyfriend loved ours so much we bought these baskets for them as a christmas gift. When they received the box in the mail they were hoping and saw "gardners supply company" on the box they were so hoping it was the baskets.

Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
This was a gift for my mother, where my sister and I do all the cooking for her. It's an attractive way to store potatoes and onions, instead of on the floor in the pantry.

Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
These really help storing those produce items that generally stay in the bags and go bad. They give my pantry an old age look which I really love. They're large, but they are perfect for those big potatoes and onions.
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
They do exactly what they are supposed to do.
I love them!

These baskets look great,seem to keep the potatoes and onions fresher longer. Easy to use,whether you want one onion or several potatoes. All most everyone that comes through my kitchen wants to know where I got them.Looking forward to using them to hold my home grown tater and onions this spring.

Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
An excellent soultion for the storage of potatoes. It beats the paper bags we used until we purchased these great loooking, practical, quality containers.
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
It used to be hard to store the potatoes and onions I get in my winter farm share. No matter how careful I was, some always seemed to rot. These baskets really help!
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
Great to have the onions and potatoes close at hand yet stored cool and dry

Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
Well-woven baskets. I would rather the open dispenser bit was a little wider to make it easier to get to the veggies.

Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
I had my doubts about full-sized onions and potatoes being able to fit in the access pockets--sometimes catalog photos can be deceiving. No worries here! I inverted the lid of the large basket and set the smaller basket right on top. I'm not a big fan of wicker, but these woven baskets are functional, quaint and innovative.
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
[...] Items are made beautifully but are quite large. I have a large kitchen and everyone notices them and comments when they see them.
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
Not wanting a counter top or exposed setting, it was hard to find a cabinet that was large enough to accomadate the potatoe basket. Hopefully no spoilage like in the plastic bags from the store.

Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
Well, It isn't as well constructed as it appeared. These may be based on an old European design, but they're made in China. All natural? Well, they seem to have a gloss that doesn't look like it occured in nature. These appear to be for sale elsewhere, but are highlighted as being "for decorative purposes only". Also, onion basket's opening isn't big enough to pull most onions through, but if one puts garlic in the bottom, then you can grab onions from the top and pick your garlic from the bottom opening. Also, the lids do not go on easily. However, the huge potato container does seem to be o.k. for potatoes. Easy in, easy out.
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
I have a set of shelves set up where I keep my recyling. The top shelf is perfect for these baskets. The room is cooler and the potatoes, onions and squash are all stored in these bakests. Love them!
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
I like this product for storing potatoes. They do not sprout or spoil as quickly. My biggest concern is the fact that the baskets continually have loose straw falling off so keeping them in the kitchen isn't the best idea. I originally had it in my pantry closet but moved it into the garage so I wouldn't have to keep cleaning up after it. Not a bad idea in the cooler months but when it warms up, I may not use them.
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
I have always liked baskets in many forms and just like the visual appeal of this one plus a good storage solution for my veggies. I gave one as a gift, too, and she loves this "happy little basket".

Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
Great idea, but expensive for cheesy-looking product. Also too big for me: I keep about 10 pounds of potatoes and 5 pounds of onions at a time - these would hold 2 or 3 times that much. For me, the smaller size basket would hold my potatoes and I need an even smaller size for onions. So, too expensive, not good quality, too big for my purposes.
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
very smart design, my potatoes hold longer and don't spoil so fast.
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
I use the small basket for onions and potatoes. These vegetables are keeping better than just sitting on a shelf or in the frig. The large basket has been handy for storing our gardening gloves and hats.

Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
The look of these pieces was initially nice...until it became clear that the tops were merely decoration - neither of them fit properly. The small onion holder did not have an opening large enough for your typical store bought onions so unless you want to store massive amounts of shallots or search out tiny onions, be wary. I will probably use both of them for other storage purposes (plastic bags, rags, etc) and buy something sturdier and more utilitarian for my onions and potatos. You get what you pay for.
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
I am most happy with my storage baskets. The sizes were most useful to me for garlic ( small basket) and onions, (larger basket) I had too many potatoes for the bigger size - and actually would like a middle size which would allow me to put a selection of potatoes in the larger one, a selection of onions in the middle and garlic in the small. ( I realize they were sized to nest in shipping )
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
I love the conveniece of storing my onions and potatoes in an area that is readily accessible. Containers are relatively attractive.. I do not keep in my kitchen, but in my utility room off the kitchen. I grow my onions & potatoes and then store them for later use. Containers are easily refillable.

Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
These baskets are perfect on the lower shelf of my kitchen worktable/island. They look great, but they are a bit larger than I had expected. No problem....they just have that much more impact! I put a plastic bag in the bottom of the baskets to keep dirt and onion skins from falling through.
Love 'em!
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
These baskets are much larger than I expected. I actually could have used two of the smaller ones since it's just my husband and me. But they look great. I collect baskets, so I had to have them. My pantry will need a little rearranging to hold them correctly, but I'll get it done.

Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
These rustically-inspired bins are beautiful and functional all in one. I'd been mulling over them for months and finally couldn't resist, and they were well worth it. I've already recommended them to all the women I know! If there were a medium-sized option, I'd scoop that up too.
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
Must hold 20 lbs of potatoes, large basket is too big to place in the average kitchen. Lids don't fit well so they fall off easy. Overpriced for what they are. Good concept not well carried out.

Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
I am short on storage, yet the baskets can be out in view and look attractive. I was very surprised at how much the potato basket actually held. They are also unique in their style.
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
I use them for garlic and onions so one is too big, the other too small. A bit big for my kitchen but easy to use.
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
These baskets, so far, have made it easy to keep dust and stuff out of my pot/onion storage. Time will tell if they are dark enough to resist sprouting of both veggies.
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
These baskets are eye-catching, functional pieces of kitchen art. I love their 'rustic' elegance and charm! There's no question that quality and beauty are captured perfectly here. The large bin is quite spacious and the smaller one works perfectly for a less "industrial" amount of potatoes/onions. In fact, given how good the bins look, if there were a medium option, I'd snatch that up too!
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
These baskets are great but I wish they could be purchased separately. The potato basked is larger than I was expecting and given the choice, I would have purchased 2 of the onion size.
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
Very attractive storage for onions and potatoes. Easy access to retrieve the vegetables. Aeration keeps vegetables longer.
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
We were stationed overseas and I bought one of those baskets years ago. Time took it's toll and I recently had to give up the one I had.
Love the new one - they look good with a purpose - sturdy construction. Am I glad to have found them again.
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
We entertain often and need to maintain a good supply of food. When I saw these baskets I thought they would be perfect to keep our potato and onion supply in good condition for a longer period of time. So far we have had good success with these baskets. Here in the mountains food tends to ripen quicker than on the coast so these old world baskets are proving to be useful.
Comments about Potato and Onion Storage Baskets:
We have a small kitchen and have been storing our store bought onions and potatoes in the same drawer in our kitchen. These baskets will fit nicely in our cool garage and free up a drawer in the kitchen.
