Does anyone remember the wicker baskets that we used in cookery at school? What were they called?

Question

They were used in the 50' and 60's for Domestic Science classes. The had a handle on them and were made from wicker or similar material and sometimes they had a cotton cover over them to keep your food that you had cooked in class warm.

Answer 1

Oh ye gods, I remember those things, sort of a moon shaped handle that carried straight round into the basket. I used to call mine a beepin' nuisance. The main thing I remember about them (apart from their amazing capacity for holding everything including the kitchen sink, all neatly covered by a striped linen T-towel) was the way they made dirty great holes in my tights! I suppose I should blame it on my stupidity for wearing such ludicrously short skirts!
Thanks for the memory!
