The vegetables are placed in the hardwood basket and the wood blocks are placed on top. The handle is inserted into the rachet at the top of the shaft and the wood blocks put pressure onto the vegetables below. Water is squeezed out and drains between the slats. The basket can be opened and the vegetable pulp removed.
 

Egg Roll Baskets
Plastic coated wire allows air to circulate around the egg rolls to keep skins from becoming soggy. Also used as a cup basket. Runners keep the bottom elevated to promote air circulation.
