Abstract
A dishwashing apparatus which includes a silverware basket for holding silverware during washing, rinsing and drying operations. The basket has generally perforate side and bottom walls. The bottom wall includes first and second pluralities of elongated ribs disposed in two generally parallel but spaced apart planes. The ribs are joined at the projected rib intersections and thus form an offset grid having nonplanar openings which resist bridging by washing fluid.
