Abstract
The basket has a bottom (1) and an upstanding side wall (2) provided with ventilation openings (3). It is composed of two identical halves (4, 5) which are arranged to be mounted onto one another to form the basket. Each of the basket halves (4, 5) comprises a bottom portion, forming one half of the bottom (1) of the basket, and a side wall portion, forming one half of the side wall (2) of the basket. The bottom (1) of the basket is a closed bottom but a seam (10) is present between the two bottom portions. Liquid is prevented from leaking out of the basket through this seam (10) due to the fact that the bottom portions drain from said seam (10) towards the side wall (2) of the basket.
