Lift the Scraps. Leave the Slime Alone.
Your Fingers Don't Belong in Sludge
That cold squish when you reach through greasy dishwater and grab yesterday's soggy scraps. You wanted to wash the plates—not pick dinner out of wire mesh. This basket gives you a raised handle to lift the mess out without putting your fingers into it.
You Cooked. Don't Dig Out Dinner.
You prep the vegetables, feed the family and keep the kitchen in order. You shouldn't have to finish the evening fishing wet rice and peels out of the drain with your fingers. Grip the raised handle, lift the basket and carry the collected scraps straight to the bin.
Tip the Basket. Spare the Bin.
Banging a strainer against the bin rim turns trapped scraps into another mess to wipe up. Here, a solid, hole-free bottom gives wet food fewer places to wedge itself. Tip the basket over the trash liner and let gravity release the scraps—without digging through mesh.
Give Dirty Dishwater a Side Exit
A basket full of scraps shouldn't leave your plates sitting in a greasy puddle. Continuous vertical slots let water escape through the sidewalls, even as food collects inside. The rigid, heat-resistant polymer is also designed to handle boiling pasta water without warping.
Measure First. Skip the Wrong Fit.
This isn't a universal-fit promise: your drain needs an inner width of 72–81mm and a depth of at least 50mm. Shallow 30–40mm drains won't work. Check those two measurements, then choose Black or Grey for a basket that sits neatly inside your compatible drain.
Don't Host Another Sludge Cleanup
Wait until after your next holiday meal, and you're still facing the same soggy scraps in the same mesh trap. Replace it before the family feast—not after another cleanup you dread. At $19.99 instead of $29.99, you save $10 on a practical way to keep your fingers out of the mess.
Leave Mesh—and Sludge—Behind
Mesh gives soggy scraps somewhere to cling. A solid bottom, vertical drainage slots and raised handle change how you collect, lift and empty the mess.

Three Details Worth Checking
Before You Replace That Strainer
How do I know if it fits my drain?
How do I know if it fits my drain?
Measure the drain opening itself, not the basin. You need an inner width of 72–81mm and a drain depth of at least 50mm. Check both measurements before ordering.
Will it fit a shallow sink drain?
Will it fit a shallow sink drain?
No. This basket is designed for deep drain openings. Shallow drains measuring only 30–40mm deep are incompatible, even if the opening looks wide enough.
How do I empty it without touching the scraps?
How do I empty it without touching the scraps?
Lift the basket by its raised handle, hold it over your trash bin and tip it. The solid bottom lets wet scraps slide out under gravity instead of requiring you to dig into mesh.
How does water drain through a solid bottom?
How does water drain through a solid bottom?
Water exits through continuous vertical slots around the basket walls. Drainage is routed through the sides rather than small holes underneath the collected food.
