what is the basket for?

Sometimes you want to pressure steam. Some vegetables, potatoes, or something like clams, mussels or lobster. Keeps the food out of the water.

There are small slots on the sides of the basket where the ends of the handle fits into. Honestly I never use the handle. It looks nice but it isn't very functional. It is a thin wire that is flimsy and barely supports the weight of the basket when it is empty. I just keep the handle on there for show. I pick up the basket as a whole. The rest of the basket is high quality and constructed well. I will take a picture of the side of the basket where the handles fit into. The handle simply slides into this area. If it were a more sturdy and thicker rod then it would be more useful. But for my purposes it is just fine. I mostly just leave the basket mounted on my rear bike rack.

yes it's also used to collect the balls on the court by flipping up the legs. then you just push down on the basket to pick up the ball. the ball is pushed into the basket. my son really likes his.

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

This unit was a replacement for my old basket. It has worked well for me. It is heavy duty, and this one has a handle. My original one had a metal bar that did not last. It is not flexible.

The basket attaches to the front bar with adjustable straps. It seems like it would work.

There is a circular metal piece that goes around the center of the basket. There are "hooks" on that circular piece. Those hooks connect to the basket allowing it to stand upright... Good luck.

Where the basket weave wires fold over the top frame, I suppose they could catch on something stored next to the basket that would be pulled out. I am using it as a freezer basket, so I have not experienced that. For my purpose, I am very happy with the quality and utility.

No the basket is used for putting smaller cuts of meat in, then placing in a brinkmann smoker, fits perfectly on top of the grates, it works great! A good tip, spray the basket with a non stick spray first.

The basket itself does not allow you to carry it without the frame so I would think not for that purpose.

Theres a little very short clip in the bottom middle at the back of the basket. I don't use it for mine but it's there

I chose this basket for basically the same use. I purchased 10 books and made a basket with them. It was a little smaller than I imagined but it worked out great.

The round disk is only used if you want to hang the basket with the chain. It was explained in the directions.

I read all the other answers and totally disagree. I had no problem making this basket fit. I knew what I had to do before I ordered this basket.

Not ideal for a basket- This is best used as a table top decoration. For the basket-- Paper grass. If that is too messy out line the basket with strips of paper cut so that the "blades" stick up and out at basket perimeter. If you disassemble this product it could be used an taped to the inside perimeter. I was thrilled with this product as a grass mat for Easter Eggs and have re-used it for Sports and Tinkerbell parties.

It helps to manuver in any tight places. It doesn't matter if you have the tray and basket or not.

Yes, the basket has a wire"hook" type feature that attaches to the side of the pan.
