Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Grill baskets are great for keeping control of your food, but the long handle generally prevents you from closing the grill lid. Charcoal Companion's answer was to create a basket that has a heavy-duty detachable, pincerlike handle that can grip the basket at three different angles. Being able to close the lid makes it a lot easier to control flare-ups and to smoke food. The snap-shut basket measures 11 inches square and will hold food up to an inch thick. --Dale Steinke

Product Description

Heavy weight grill basket system featuring a removable handle allows you to close grill completely and smoke foods slowly. Accommodates a variety of food. Non-Stick surface is easy to clean.

2.0 out of 5 stars Coating comes off after first use., June 17, 2003

I waited a month to get this item, and was so disappointed when after the first use, I started to wash the basket and the coating came off on many sections of the basket. Good design and idea, but poor craftsmanship.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nonstick Surface Comes Off!, May 2, 2004

I used this product one time -- grilled fish. It worked very well. The fish was cooked to perfection. The removeable handle worked well.

However, when I started to clean the basket, after only one use, the black nonstick surface began to flake and come off. Mind you, I didn't srub or use harsh products. The nonstick surface came off with a little Sunlight soap and a sponge. I can't use it again because the surface comes off in the water, on the sponge, and on your hands. I'm sure that it will come off on your food.

If you don't mind disposable kitchen tools, buy this product.

The basket is good for grilling but it is difficult getting the tongs into the grooves in the basket, particularly when one is standing over an open flame.
