How big are each of the baskets? With 5 of us who eat a lot of fruit and veggies, I need big. Any recommendations? I don't mind replacing a chain.

The bottom basket is about 8 inches across, the next one up 6 inches and the next 4. I haven't actually measured these, but that's my estimate as an engineer. The baskets have square bottoms, though, so that will limit the capacity a bit. However, I find that it fits a lot of volume if you carefully stack things on it. At its fullest, I've had about 4 yams, 4 garlic bulbs, a cantaloupe, 4 tomatoes, a bunch of bananas (I think 5 in the bunch), and still had room to spare. I've even put some weight on it to see if it would hold, and it showed very little in terms of stress and fatigue under weight. Hope this helps!

The are all decent size but seeing as they are tiered in size you might want to look at ones that have 3 that are all big. Hope that helps.

The large basket has a 4.5" square bottom, is 11" across at the top, and 5" deep. I currently have 8 apples, 2 lemons, 3 limes, 2 oranges, 1 apricot, 2 plums, and 1 grapefruit in it, and there is still a bit of room. The middle basket has a 4.5" square bottom, is 9" across at the top, and 3.5" deep. I have 3 potatoes & a sweet potato in it, and still have lots of room. The small basket has a 4" square bottom, is 7" across at the top, and 3" deep. I have several garlic bulbs and 3 onions in it, and it is full. I actually used a tape measure as I was answering, so these measurements are accurate. The chains are nice and seem to be durable so far.

Personally they are not very big. The top one i can fit maybe 3 oranges, middle i can fit bananas or 6 oranges, and the bottom i can fit 4 onions and a few small things on top of the onions.

It's is really big. I can't remember the size. You can put about 12 bananas in third one.

We put 2 lemons and 2 limes in the top, middle held 3 oranges and 3 apples (stacked) and on the bottom we have a bag of halo mandarins and could have put more in that one.

Mine measures at 7", 9", and 11" diameter and they are between 2.5" to 3" in depth. It's not that big, but I live in a Brooklyn apartment so big doesn't work for me. I've never seen a big version of this, but I'm sure they exist. I suppose you could also get two. Hope this helps.

Unless you have a lot of veggies to pack into it I'd start off with the 5L size. The bigger the crock the heavier it is empty and when loaded its really, really a back breaker! So don't try to heft it from the floor without help (unless you lift weights). If you want to produce more you can always get a second 5L, that way you can have several different recipes going at the same time. Hope this helps a bit...

HI. Glad you're interested in purchasing this basket. I have two of them an use them just about every day. I don't own a car so my bike is very important. the measurement on my baskets is 12"long, 9"tall and 8" deep. If you end up getting two baskets, I suggest the cargo net to go with them. It's very helpful. I hope this helps.

The bottom basket is not longer than the top basket. Hope this response helps.

I bought this for my son and the one thing I noticed is that it seemed like the baskets are not as strong as the one that I have had for years that holds a good 12-15 lbs. I put potatoes in the bottom and onions in the middle and fruit in the top. Concerning the new one I would say it would be safe at about 8lbs

I keep bananas on bottom one, onions in the middle one and I use the top one for chip bag clips, they are good and sturdy, even though the baskets are lightweight.

sorry so long. baskets were at office. it looks like slightly bigger than one inch. I love these! I have several types of these-- some are white and some are metal looking. I like the metal ones at the office the most !!

I don't know the exact weight capacity. However. I can tell you that, at the moment. I have 3 oranges in the top basket. 5 zucchini and 2 yellow squash in the middle basket and half a dozen apples in the bottom basket. I hsvr had my baskets for over a year and love it. We hung it with a threaded hook and have had no problems.

Sandy, I'm sorry I took so long, I didn't realize my griddle is in the basement and I can't get to it. Broken leg. Just off hand, I would say your space is pretty narrow. BUT, the overall size of that griddle is huge. How long do you have? I will see if I can get someone to do it. JeanetteI see others have answered. Good. It is big enough for hashbrowns, eggs, bacon etc. all at the same time. 'course depends on how many you are feeding. :0)

A basket ones for 6-8 cups (sort of like a cone with a bottom cut straight). Keep in mind that a metal mesh insert comes with it.

This pack contains baskets of a single size -- 4"x4". The seller may offer larger baskets through another listing, but with this item, you only get the one size (holds about a pint of wild blueberries, if I recall correctly). Good luck!

yes, baskets can be used but they can't be wide or tall. I have my teapot on it and I sometimes use a plate and put my fruit on it. You gave me a good idea about the baskets, I think I will use them, too.

I bought a large one but have not used it yet for a head of lettuce. Another reviewer wrote that he could not get an entire intact head of lettuce in it, had to cut it in half. I think it kind of depends on the size of the head of lettuce. I certainly believe that it would hold an intact head of lettuce of the size I most often see in my grocery store. All I can tell you is that I have used these (I bought several sizes) on different fruits, particularly strawberries, and I have been able to keep those berries for at least 2 weeks with no signs of deterioration. I really like these storage bowls! I bought a large one but have not used it yet for a head of lettuce.

Hi, the price was important to me however this was purchased for my husband who weighs 260 and has balance issues. I also needed to make this purchase quickly. I just thought it would be more stable for him. The basket is important as you can't hold anything in your hands. We are very happy with this purchase. Good luck.

There are 2 inserts for large & small fruits & veggies, I believe you won't have any problems!!!

I'm happy to tell you that the salad/dessert forks are an appropriate size. You're right though - I have another set by WMF and the salad/dessert forks are a very silly size. I think you'll be happy with this set & it's a good weight.

The basket is 11 1/2 wide (across the back side), 7 inches deep (front to back) and 9 inches high. It is an awesome basket! I have gotten many comments on it. I also bought two Cisco pannier baskets from Nantucket Bike Basket. They are for the back of the bike to put on a rack. They have handles, so you can pull them off and carry them. That's what I do when I go to the farmers market. Then I just put them back on the rack all filled with goodies! They are all very sturdy baskets, too. Should last a long time.
