Answers:
Putting the bananas next to other fruit is not a very good idea, since they give a gas that makes the other fruit ripen quickly!.
As for the basket, as long as it is pierced or weaved and the fruit gets air from all sides, it's ok, but solid sides bowls are not a good idea since they don't let air circulate!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Keep apples, pears, stone fruits, berries, melons and citrus fruits in the fridge!. Bananas should be left at room temp, but you CAN put them in fridge so that they will not ripen any farther!. However, the peels will discolor but the fruit will be left in tact and tasty!. Bananas tend to ripen/spoil other fruits around them because of the gasses they give off!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Don't mix fresh fruits with old ones!. When possible, separate them by colors!. Washing them with baking soda works great and safer for you and environment!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com
