Cookini CASSIE is a compact kitchen basket measuring 22×15×10 cm designed to support everyday kitchen organization and light food preparation tasks. Made as a multipurpose accessory, this small basket fits on countertops, in drawers or on pantry shelves and is intended for rinsing and draining small fruit and vegetables, holding cutlery or small utensils, and keeping pantry items tidy.
Advantages
The Cookini CASSIE basket combines a compact footprint with practical drainage and open-grid construction that allows water to escape and air to circulate. Its size and shape make it easy to position in tight spaces, while the durable material ensures repeated household use. The simple design is neutral and suitable for a variety of kitchen styles and storage systems.

When it may not be suitable
Due to its compact dimensions (22×15×10 cm), the Cookini CASSIE basket is not intended for large or bulky items such as whole melons, large pots, or piles of heavy cookware. It is also not designed to replace larger colanders or strainers when working with high volumes of hot pasta or large batches of vegetables.

How to use
Place the Cookini CASSIE basket on a flat surface or inside a drawer or shelf.

After use, empty residues and rinse the basket; dry thoroughly before storing to avoid moisture buildup.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm that the 22×15×10 cm dimensions fit the intended shelf, drawer or countertop space
- Consider the types and sizes of items you plan to store to ensure they fit comfortably
- Check whether a porous open-grid basket meets your hygiene and drainage preferences
- Decide if you need a larger colander or basket for bulk food preparation
Usage recommendations
For optimal hygiene and longevity, rinse the basket after contact with food and allow it to air dry. Avoid placing very hot items directly into the basket and do not use it as a support for heavy cookware. Use separate baskets for raw and ready-to-eat items to prevent cross-contamination.
