Barbecue Made Easier with Grilling Baskets

The grill grate is a staple to our grilling experience, but it can be a challenge to grill food that is small, too numerous, or prone to sticking on the grate. That is why a grilling basket is an indispensable tool in your barbecue arsenal.

The beauty of a grilling basket is that you turn the basket, not the food! Small foods that may fall through the grate such as beans or peppers can be grilled in a basket without worry or the trouble of having to turn each individual piece. Delicate foods such as sausages can be grilled with ease using a basket as you don’t have to turn the individual meats and risk them bursting in the process.

Here are some of our favorite grill baskets to help you grill more interesting food with ease and efficiency.
