I've been using this grill basket all summer, and it's completely transformed how I cook veggies outdoors. The XXL size means I can grill enough zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms for my whole family in one go - no more batch cooking!
What surprised me most was how sturdy this feels compared to my old flimsy basket. When I first unboxed it, the weight difference was immediately noticeable. The 304 stainless steel doesn't warp even when I overload it (which I may have done a few times).
The rolling mechanism is genius - no more awkward flipping with tongs. I just give it a gentle roll every few minutes, and everything cooks evenly. Though fair warning: the lid does need some technique to remove when hot (I learned this the hard way after losing some precious asparagus to the flames).
Cleanup is a breeze - I just toss it in the dishwasher after use. After about a dozen BBQs, it still looks brand new. My only gripe? The baskets arrived stuck together, and it took me a solid 15 minutes to separate them without scratching the surface.
Pro tip: Try grilling pineapple chunks in this - the caramelization is incredible, and nothing falls through the grates. This basket has made me the veggie-grilling hero at every cookout this season.
