The pie shape wouldn't work with this. I did put non slip stuff in there and
did figure out how to put it in. It's not a perfect fit but it works.

And yours must not be as big as mine then. I play hell every time something
flies off the side to get it back out again. These things somehow got into
that back corner which is totally blind. I only discovered them by using a
flashlight and a hook.

Not a bunch of crap. Two cans of beans, the fruit and the missing lid.

Apparently I didn't structure that sentence correctly. The found items were
so far into the back corner, I could only see them with a flashlight and by
using a hook.

I did. Many times. As I said, they were only visible with a flashlight and
hook.
