Ok, forget I wrote "antimicrobial soap."
If you're going to hand wash cutting knives after meat, make sure you clean them with something that will adequately disinfect them.

I am trying to fix coffee maker basket for 30 cup coffee maker.
Are you stating a fact or asking for help?
Assuming there's a question in there someplace...
Metal or plastic?
How is it broken?
Perhaps a picture would help.
That's great news. So many people just toss anything broken and buy new. Fixing it will be good for the environment and the earth will be a better place for generations, thanks to people like you.
Please update us on your project and how successful it is. You are to be commened for tackling such a thing. Good luck with it.

Coffeemaker baskets are usually made of polypropylene resin, which is a thermoplastic. I bet the only way to fix the basket is to heat-weld the cracked areas. Having some extra polypropylene stock to melt into the crack may help.

He could make a new one from corrugated plastic. All he needs is the right (and smaller) forms. ;-)

My daughter has had good luck with various customer service departments in recent years -
- receiving a free replacement part, on more-than-one occasion ; and even getting a replacement appliance in one case - just for asking nicely and explaining things honestly. I recently received -free- 2 wheel assemblies for a piece of luggage - just for asking nicely and sending a photo of the shredded one. < unfortunately - I don't have access to an industrial rivet machine to install the assembly .. duh. > ... still haven't got a round tuit replacing the wheel.

Exasperated with yet another dead coffee maker (display LCD died), she posted a nasty review on Amazon. We really like the coffee it makes but it only lasted six months[*]. Mr. Coffee contacted her and offered to send her a new one. Nice. I asked why she didn't tell them that the one (same model) I have at work has the exact same problem (though I don't need the display).
[*] Not all that unusual, no matter how much we've paid for coffee makers. $50 or $500, it doesn't seem to matter so $50 it is.
I am not a coffee drinker, but here is the ultimate coffee maker. If you have great disposable income.

It is Hammacherer Schlemmer.
I like the box on order line of the page. ==> How many?
I think I'll take three. ;-)
Wife said, "Yeah, no!"
My cold brew coffee maker consists of a 2 qt glass pitcher, cheese cloth, an old Mr. Coffee basket and some coffee filters.
Each batch ends up being 1.5 quarts of kick-ass coffee concentrate that goes down velvety smooth. We either mix equal parts coffee and water or
2/3 coffee - 1/3 water depending on how kick-ass we want at the time.
Call that the ultimate? Try a Jura super auto.
No the ultimate would be Star Trek tech that makes coffee out of energy. So excuse me.
I'd like this one:
That's a well built wench...err...I mean...wrench.
I used the Gorilla glue on a terracotta orchid pot and it blistered the Orchid. So I'm not sure it is food safe.
