Weber Deluxe Grilling Basket

After looking through countless websites and grilling catalogs looking of a basket to use for grilling smaller items, I finally found this item and immediately ordered it. It has everything that's necessary for function, and none of the "features" that, while appealing on the surface, end up being useless in practice. In my case, I generally grill for my wife and I and our young child. This basket is the perfect size for that. It can comfortably fit a whole sweet onion cut into rings and split apart, over half a head of broccoli, or a few peppers sliced up. In other words, a good quantity of vegetables for two and a half people. Weber does make a larger version if you're grilling for more. For my uses, this basket is far better than anything else I've ever tried. Compared to the following: Mesh Baskets - Mesh is nice, but very hard to clean. Even stainless steel mesh baskets get food caught in the mesh and require a decent amount of scrubbing to get all the food particles off. Non-Stick Grill Pan - these seem like a great idea on principal, but I don't own any grill implements that are safe for use on non-stick surfaces. My tongs aren't rubber coated (nor do I want them to be). This means I have to bring kitchen implements out to the grill. In my case, these have shorter handles and resulted in lots of singed knuckles, not to mention doubling the number of utensils needing cleaning. Pans with Attached Handles - attached handles make it easy to flip food using your wrist, much like one does with a nice saute pan. Except on a grill, these handles are metal (for obvious reasons) and are therefore, well over 400 degrees. Not to mention they usually are too short to be overly useful and still get in the way and take up valuable grill space. Not good. Detachable Handles - in an effort to fix the above issues, manufacturers attempted to make pans with removable handles. Great idea, but I've yet to see one executed properly. Generally they remove by lifting up on the end of the handle -- the same motion that you'd use to flip food in a pan. They are usually finicky to engage and after dropping the basket and the food on the ground once, you drop the handle and grill pan in the trash can. Expensive habit. All of these experiences make me simply love the simple Weber pan. No handle to get in the way, but a couple little curved pieces which make it easy to lift. Stainless steel so no worries about metal utensils. Easy to clean (you can throw it in the dishwasher). Overall, simple really is better. To those who have given this bad reviews due to the fact that it never truly gets shiny clean again, who cares? It's a grill pan. Is your grill meticulously cleaned after every use? Personally, I just preheat the grill and then brush off the charred particles. I actually do the same with this pan and just leave it in the grill... And frankly, the discoloration is seasoning the pan making this guy pretty much non-stick.

Used it to grill veggies and it works great! It cooked them pretty evenly, and was easy to clean. It’s nice quality too!

Well made. Have not used it yet. Should be just the ticket for corn and veg's

Nice pan for cooking veggies or shrimp, fish on the grill. Oil is a must for keeping your food from sticking. An SOS pad cleans it pretty good. Would be nice if it was thicker steel like an older one I had but it works!

Worked great grilled chicken and steak. So happy with this pan.

Must have grilling accessory! Having food falling between the grates is resolved. The grilling basket is perfect for grilling smaller items. The stainless steel material should last a lifetime and cleaning is quick & simple with a little dawn and scrubbing pad. Be sure to dry if you don't want any water spots.

Awesome basket! Food didn’t stick and cleaned up easily! If you need a grill basket this is the perfect choice!

This is the second of these Weber stainless steel grilling baskets I have purchased. The only difference between this one and the one I purchased in 2007, is that this new one just says "Weber" instead of "Weber Style." I have used the first one for 16 years, and I just cleaned it thoroughly with Bar Keepers' Friend® on a Scotch bright heavy-duty sponge to a like-new appearance and finish. This basket replaces a non-stainless steel basket that was a pain to clean up, and I could no longer stop it from rusting between uses. Having two identical and easy-to-clean baskets will be nice. The slotted openings on these baskets allow for nice caramelization of veggies while making for much easier clean-up than baskets perforated with round holes. The slots also result in clean-up sponges that last longer. These Weber stainless steel baskets clean up fairly easily, especially if you do not cook too many meals before you give them a deep cleaning with something like Bar Keepers' Friend. I have cooked with some very hot fires and these baskets do not warp. The 16-year-old twin fits flatly inside the new one from corner to corner on all four sides. There is another brand with an identical design at a few dollars less, but when you know you can get a minimum of 16 years of high-temp BBQing out of something, you do not try to save $4.

Big and strong

C’è poco da dire,le cose buone su pagano e vanno pagate weber sempre una garanzia

I had the smaller version of this basket which I have been using for few years and I liked it so much that I decided to purchase the larger version of Weber Deluxe Grilling Basket for entertaining. It has quickly become an indispensable part of my grilling arsenal. This professional-grade grill basket is one of the most impressive I’ve come across. The high quality and solid build of this basket is immediately noticeable. Made from thick stainless steel, it’s designed to withstand the rigors of regular use. Despite its heavy-duty construction, it feels lightweight, making it easy to handle. It has a generous size and features nice handles on both sides. The basket features small slots and offers a large surface area to accommodate larger items or quantities. The low walls ensure that veggies get a nice char, resulting in soft veggies with the good number of char marks. Maintaining stainless steel can be tricky as it can easily discolor with high heat and chemical reaction with food. Though it is not completely avoidable, with a few simple steps, you can keep this pan in top shape use after use. Preheat the pan before putting any food and lightly coat with oil to prevent sticking. After use, clean it using a cleaner like Lagostina powder or Bar Keepers. Other options are soaking it in cleaning solution or vinegar followed by scrubbing. Oven self-cleaning cycle also works. In conclusion, the Weber Deluxe Grilling Basket is a high-quality, versatile, and reliable tool that offers excellent value for money. Whether you’re a professional chef or a backyard griller, this Basket is a fantastic investment.

Wir grillen gern Gemüse. Sei es Zucchini, Paprika, Pilze und vieles andere. Vorher haben wir immer Grillspieße gemacht, aber da war der Zeitaufwand um den Grillspieß anzufertigen ungleich länger als der eigentliche Garvorgang. Aus diesem Grund war ich auf der Suche nach einer komfortableren Lösung, um Grillgemüse anzufertigen. Durch einen Tipp meines Freundes bin ich auf die Weber Grillkorb aufmerksam geworden. Der Korb misst genau 30 x 35 cm und passt gut auf meinen Burnhard Fred Jr. Daneben ist nicht mehr sehr Platz, aber wenn ich Gemüse grille, dann ist dieser Schritt vom Fleisch und sonstigen anderen Sachen sowieso getrennt. Bevor ich das Grillgut in die Pfanne gebe, öle ich diese kurz ein. Man kann dazu raffiniertes Rapsöl oder Olivenöl nehmen. Wichtig ist, dass der Geschmack nicht völlig verfälscht wird. Vorher lege ich mein Gemüse noch ein und dann kommt es nach der Aufwärmphase in den Korb. Hier rühre ich ab und zu um und das war es schon. Für den Grillkorb nutze ich meist eine Gartemperatur von 200-250 Grad, das passt eigentlich gut und das Gemüse verbrennt durch die kleinen Löcher kaum. Ich habe einmal Grillkäse direkt dazugegeben. DAs hat aber weniger gut funktioniert. Der Käse verstopft die Löcher und damit ist ein Durchdringen der Hitze kaum noch möglich und das Ganze wird ungleichmäßig. Mit dem eigentlichen Ergebnis zum Grillgemüse bin ich wirklich sehr zufrieden. Man hat hier eine gute Balance an Löchern gefunden, dass einerseits das Gemüse gut durch wird, aber auch nicht zu viel direkte Hitze an das Grillgut gelangt, dass es zu schnell verbrennt. Das Material ist Edelstahl und ist wirklich beständig. Natürlich verfärbt sich das Ganze beim ersten Benutzen, was man nicht wieder komplett wegbekommt, aber das ist ganz normal für Edelstahl. Wir sind mit dem Grillkorb von Weber sehr zufrieden und würden diesen sofort wieder kaufen. positiv: - schlichte, ansprechende Verpackung, gut recyclebar - hochwertiges Material (Edelstahl) - super Grillergebnis - schnell reinigbar negativ: - nichts

très bien pour les légumes et la cuisson des fruits de mer
