10 Easy Pieces: Onion and Garlic Baskets

January 22, 2019

Question: What is the modern equivalent of a root cellar? Answer: A root cellar, of course. Unfortunately, most of us don’t have one these days (I imagine that even my grandmother’s has been turned into a basement rec room by now).

The next best thing? Get a woven basket with good ventilation that allows air to circulate around your onions and heads of garlic. Hang the basket in a cool spot and your vegetables will stay fresh for weeks. We’ve rounded up 10 of our favorite woven hanging baskets for onion and garlic storage:

The crazy luxe option when it comes to woven onion baskets: handwoven by Annemarie O&#8\2\17;Sullivan in East Sussex, England, the willow Potato Basket works for storing potatoes, onions, garlic, and more; \$\1,500 at March.

Working with dyed jute and cane, Auckland artist Ruth Castle weaves Black Garlic Baskets in three sizes starting at \$\139 for the smallest size. For availability (it&#8\2\17;s currently sold out), contact Everyday Needs who works with Ruth Castle directly.

Made of reed, the Shaker Onion Basket &#8\2\20;smells like a hayride through a forest on a fall day,&#8\2\2\1; says Alisa Grifo, proprietor of the homewares store Kiosk. It&#8\2\17;s the same basket featured in contributing editor Justine Hand&#8\2\17;s house (photo at top of post) taken by photographer Matthew Williams. Contact Kiosk for restocking information.
