When we were up at Kauilalalululekuee (not really) Falls we ran into a man making baskets. He was doing missionary work for his church and if he felt inspired he gave his baskets away for free. He charged us $10...He told us to soak the baskets in salt water for 4-5 minutes, let them dry out and then soak them again. Do this 4 times and then treat the leaves with mineral oil and the basket will last for 100 years. It is microwave and oven safe....I didn't ask about the dishwasher.
Kerry and I are soaking the baskets as instructed, we'll see if they last 100 years.
