The Chef Basket is amazingly versatile! The makers of Chef Basket made sure that their creation helped people avoid burns. The handles do not get hot no matter how long the Chef Basket has been exposed to heat. They also wanted something that would prevent spills and be designed in such a way that it occupies as little kitchen space as possible. Cooking pasts is a cinch with Chef Basket. Just put the uncooked pasta in the basket, drape basket handles over sides of pan, and dip it in boiling water till it’s cooked. When pasta is cooked, simply flip the handles of the basket, pull it up to drain out the water, and let the pasta slide out into a plate.
Watch Chef Basket - As Seen On TV
Imagine having a colander, frying basket, strainer, steamer receptacle and wire basket in your kitchen. That’s at least four different kitchen accessories that you need to store away. Now, check out Chef Basket, a revolutionary invention that is all those in just one kitchen accessory. And when you’re done, collapse it and store it flat in any drawer. How much more versatile can a kitchen accessory get?
Use the Chef Basket not just for pasta. You can cook other foods in it the same way, even hard-boiled eggs. Boil, steam, deep fry, blanch or poach your food. The Chef Basket can be dipped in boiling water or hot oil and handles stay cool to the touch. To use it as a steamer, reverse the Chef Basket, put it over a deep pan, and cover. The food being steamed stay well above the water line. And when you’re all done, collapse the Chef Basket so it lies flat and store. Say goodbye to bulky pans that don’t fit in your drawers. This one goes right into any size of drawer.
Save space, cook safely and enjoy the versatility that Chef Basket brings to your cooking and to your kitchen. It’s several accessories in one. Plus, it’s a great kitchen space saver as well.

Review by Jo Spencer April 9, 2012
No star. I bought this at a local supermarket for much less than it would have been ordered on TV. It fell over, didn’t fit any of my pans, pasta stuck to it, I gave it to my daughter who promptly threw it away. Garbage. I think about 99% of anything sold on TV is a scam.
And by the way, they rip you off, contact your state Attorney General and file a complaint.

This company will rip you off in any way possible, shipping and charging for more than you order then trying to make you pay for shipping it back as well as the original shipping charge. Will also try to sell you an upgraded basket that I belive is a scam because you can’t just upgrade one you have to upgrade both. Customer service is rude.

Funny Marie, the same thing happened to me about how many I ordered..I called them and did get through though..They said they would fix it..Thank God I messed up the numbers on my credit card and I never got it..I hate those slimy tactics!!!!!!!
Review by san diegan February 22, 2011
The Chef Basket I received arrived lopsided, bent, shallower than shown on box, with sharp wire ends sticking out to catch your hand. Fortunately Carol Wright Gifts credited my charge card in full, and did not require me to send it back.
Review by Molly February 16, 2011
Do not order this product online! Wait for Target or some other retailer to carry it. The website is deceptive and will cause you to spend much more than they advertise. The purchasing process doesn’t allow the buyer to review the order before buying. The verbiage on the website makes you believe you are simply upgrading your order when in fact you are ordering another set.
Review by Noelia February 3, 2011
this is a crap!!! same thing happend to me. they allow you to browse and click yes or no and never show an order preview where normally they do in all sites where you can purchase items. I will never order from them anything no more! there is no way at all to contact them. I’ve been on hold for 45 min and I never got the chance to speeak to someone beside the machine!!! BIG CRAP!!!!

holy crap this thing is such a smart idea, and it really works good too, which is amazing because most of the tv stuff is crap.
Review by Esther Gillett January 17, 2011
I also had trouble ordering on the website. First thing they ask is your information and credit card. That should have tipped me off. All I wanted was the one basket, which was buy one get one free. Of course to get stainless steel I upgraded for an additional $5.00. Then I was asked if I wanted to order knives and although I said “no” I was still charged. The site also asked how many buy one get one free and evidently it added another set- I only wanted the one order. So my entire bill which should have been about $20 came to $63 with the knives, 2 orders of baskets, shipped and handling plus a processing fee for each item! There was not way to edit my order or cancel. I called the company although it said they were closed on Sunday and did get ahold of someone who told me they would put a hold on my order for 24-48 hours and I would have to call back. I called back and complained. No “I am sorry” just “do you want to cancel your order?”. I said all I wanted was the one basket, get one free, and free shipping. The lady told me I would have to cancel and reorder. I canceled period. I am going to wait until they are in stock at Target!
Review by Electra Fernand January 11, 2011
I have had the same experience as this lady above. I think it is deceptive not providing a proper way to be contacted. I know that I did not accept most of the up-sells they provided, yet still I saw charged other than the buy one get one free plus knife. There is no way to delete what you have ordered either. Plus my shipping and handling cam to almost $26.00 due to the other stuff they added. I think this site needs to be more careful because pretty soon their products not not be purchased. I don’t recommend anyone buy here until all this is resolved.
Review by Jen C. January 10, 2011
Have not received it, but I don’t recommend ordering online. I am very capable of ordering online; however, they somehow doubled the quantity I ordered, and there was no final review before order was placed. I believe they are purposely deceiving customers with their online ordering form. I have tried to call customer service to cancel. We will see if they indeed cancel the order. If they do, I will CALL in my order.
Review by Cristie January 6, 2011
I submitted an order for the Chefbasket on January 1st and their website is very confusing when ordering the product. I only wanted one basket and the FREE knife that came with it. When my email confirmation arrived I was charged for two baskets and two knives totalling $63.00 and that is NOT what I wanted. I have called everyday since placing the order and they keep telling me they can’t find my order and to call back in 24 to 48 hrs. I have ask for the order to be completely cancelled due to their lake of communication with their customers and the lack of communication provided on their site. Again they are telling me I need to call back everyday to make sure the order was cancelled. This is very frustrating and I can say this if my first time to purchase anything off the tv and it will be my last.
Review by Marie Romano January 3, 2011
I placed an order on Friday night, Dec 31 and made an error in clicking the buttons for the number of baskets that I wanted. I immediately tried to contact them to make a change but finally got a voice mail telling me that the offices were closed until this morning at 9 am. I have been trying for 1/2 an hour to reach them with NO RESULTS VIA PHONES OR EMAIL. THE ONLY WAY TO CONTACT THEM IS THROUGH THE ORDER PAGE AND ORDERING IS THE ONLY OPTION OPEN.
There’s no info when checking the Order Status and there is NO means to Edit or Change the order once the Order button is clicked.
When the pkg comes with 3 times the number that I wanted, I will return it as REFUSED and charge it back on my Visa. What a frustrating experience!!!!!!!
