A container (10) having a base (12) is disclosed. The container (10) also has an upstanding side wall (14) extending upwardly from the base (12). The base (12) has an upper face (16) and a lower face (18). The base (12) defines an external recess (20) in extending upwardly from the lower face (18). The container (10) further includes a mesh formation in the recess (20). A lid (110) for a container (1100) is also disclosed. The lid (110) comprises a first surface (118) facing in a first direction. The lid (110) also has a second surface opposite the first surface (118). The lid (110) has a rim arrangement (111) comprising a holding formation (122) having a curved convexity (126A) facing in a second direction away from the first direction. The holding formation (122) comprises a plurality of spaced retaining members (128) on said convexity (126A). The retaining members (128) extend in the second direction, and are arranged so that a securing member (124) extending across the convexity (126A) between adjacent retaining members (128) is retained on the holding formation (122) by the retaining members (128).
