Freezer baskets don't last a lifetime.
When it's time to say goodbye to them, a hard decision has to be made, whether to find another replacement or not having another one at all.
It would be wiser to choose the first idea, because it's just plain hard to organize freezer stuffs without freezer baskets.
The problem becomes worse, when your freezer has served you for like 10 long years, because that means, that it is already obsolete in the world of freezers.
And when you plan to replace your old basket, it is hard to find something identical.
Let's just look at the brighter side; the brand name really doesn't need to be identical for both, freezer and basket, to assess their fitness for each other.
As long as they fit together, it's already OK.
Here are a few more tips on choosing a replacement freezer basket.
Best way Communicate with the manufacturer or company where you purchased your old freezer and baskets.
Ask if they still sell freezer baskets that are similar to yours.
Other sources could be from your old basket's manual or from searching it through the internet using the company name.
In case that the company doesn't sell those baskets anymore, proceed to the next way.
Better way Do some measurements on your old basket but if you already discarded it, you can measure also the space where you used to place it.
After having your measurements, look around for similar baskets to yours.
Try looking through either online or offline shops.
Just bear in mind that the way the basket rests on the rim is the most important thing, take that measurement especially carefully.
Good way Here, creativity and artistic skills are highly important Why? Because you will be making your very own, personalized freezer basket! You don't really need a freezer basket proper, but what you need is just a simple container, bin or basket, either plastic or coated, that fits well.
Instead of hanging them, it would be better if you stack a few on top of each other in a corner.
Just note that the reason for having these baskets is to provide organization and cleanliness.
How to keep your freezer basket organized I find it very convenient having a freezer basket because it basically separates things from one another and helps to organize them.
Like for instance, I once had a problem on dealing with my chips that I can't finish and other opened items.
With the help of the basket, I am able to keep them on top and can easily grab them when I want to.
In this manner, I am able to finish any opened products before opening the next one.
Lastly, I will share with you some tips on how to take good care of this kitchen utensil.
Always remember to read the manual before trying them out.
Take note if it is dishwasher safe or not, and in case that was a 'no' simply wash it by hand.
