Another Great Weber ProductBrandiW
I purchased one of these two years ago at a specialty grill store. I had read good things in Cook's Illustrated about it's larger cousin and I figured this smaller one would be worth a try.I love this basket. I have tried every other product you can imagine to cook small veggies and such with very limited success. I have a closet full of gadgets that either didn't work or had so many design flaws they weren't worth using. Not so with this basket. The sides are high enough to allow you to toss around your veggies as you cook. The handles are just large enough to allow you to get a good grip on them and just small enough not to get in the way. The holes or slots are large enough to allow really good direct contact with heat and small enough so nothing falls through them. I started out doing the classic grill veggies such as zucchini, mushrooms and onion but soon realized I could now try pretty much anything. My families favorites are grilled green beans and grilled broccoli (my personal fave). Grilling these two really changes their flavor profile and will amaze whoever you are cooking for. Another dish my family loves is "grilled" stirfry. I 'stirfry' the veggies over a screaming hot heat on the grill before adding it to the rice and such. This basket also helps make a killer fajita by allowing your to get a good char on green peppers and onions. I can't say enough good things about this basket, definitely one of my absolute favorite grill accessories.Ok, so I've read all the negative comments about clean up. I suppose if you are one of those people who simply must have shiny stainless steel cooking implements for your grill then, yes, this basket might be a problem. However, so will every other stainless steel item you cook with on a grill.Read more ›
How did I grill without out this??M. McClain
I hesitated to add this after a few comments made below - but boy am I glad I did. It is big, (takes up about half of my 3 burner surface on my Weber Genesis) but is SOOO easy to use and works great for veggies. Just chop and toss in.Like a few suggested, I use peanut oil to keep the veggies from sticking.And as for the comments about this being really tough to clean . . .I don't have any idea what the complaint is. A couple of drops of soap and a little water - this thing cleans up slick, with no food particles left. It is stainless steel, so of course it will tarnish and discolor, that is the nature of stainless steel when heated. If you want it to look new - then don't use it!!
It's 12 by 14 inchesRegina Blosser
Just saw that lacking in all the reviews before I bought this: EXACTLY how big is it? 12 x 14 inches, at the top, that's how big. In case anyone wondering, like I was.
Great productEnigma
We use this basket very frequently. It makes grilling vegetables and potatoes much easier than using aluminum foil or using skewers. True, once you use it, it will lose its shinny metallic luster, and will turn into a combination of black and brown, but rest assured, it is clean and safe to grill on.
Perfect for the grill!Joy Yak
This replaced one of those cheap, round teflon coated pans that was losing it's coating (can't be good for us!). I sprayed this with oil prior to use, then heated it and removed from the heat to spray again 4 more times. This created an "emulsion" coating on it which made it a cinch to clean up. And so far it is just as silver as when it came out of the box! I really think that taking the time to pre-treat it in this way (something I saw on America's Test Kitchen on PBS).
Potatoes, escarole, stir fry, asparagus: all taste great!Laura_and_Andrew
This grill basket is very versatile for cooking any type of vegetable. Just toss with oil and throw on low heat on the pre-heated grill. Our favorites are fingerling potatoes, escarole with garlic, and asparagus. After the first use the pan gets discolored with a grilled-on patina. It's not worth trying to scrub it off. It's 9" square at the base and 11" square at the top. We sometimes have to cook in two batches when serving more than four people. We've already offered one as a gift and will likely give this again. We're even thinking of buying a second one so we can cook two batches at once. A very nifty invention!
Works GreatJ. James
I've used this many times for the past two summers and it is great for grilling vegetables. Usually we put in some squash, zucchini, onions, asparagus, and mushrooms. Have not noticed any metallic taste and we do not keep it shiny clean. It has turned black and brown in places due to the food browning. We wash with soap and water and use it again kinda like we would a skillet.
a good choice for Weber GrillsAmazon Customer
So this is exactly what you'd expect it to be. Stainless Steel and does a good job of holding things that are larger than the openings in it.Importantly, why to get this for a Weber Grill over more generic ones that I've also purchased. It actually fits under the secondary grate. Other ones I've used don't fit under the secondary rack so you end up having to take it off in order to use the basket. This one actually fits under it on a Weber grill, which makes dealing with that secondary rack much easier.
