Rome Grill Basket
This is an awesome product perfect for grilling veggies and/or meat over an open flame. It's sturdy and cleans pretty well with a brush or steel wool. It's big and has a super long handle to keep you hands away from the flame. Great price too!Simply put I wish I'd ordered a non-stick version of this product. Even when you coat the basket with oil, fish ends up sticking to it and falling apart as you try to remove it. It may work fine for other items, but if you plan to use this item to grill fish, I'd get a non-stick one instead. we've had this grill basket for about 4 years, and we use it on every camping trip. It's great for chicken, steaks, pork chops, burgers, toast, you name, it's cookable in this basket!!! It has now seen better days, and time for a new one as it has fallen apart. But we are not too delicate with our camping cooking tools!small mesh makes it great for vegetables or fish. The metal handle can get very hot, so be careful around the kids. Clean up is tough, as is the problem with all baskets. I had to crimp the hinge tighter as the basket pieces came apart, but other than that, good product.I read a number of reviews of similar products, including non-stick versions before buying this. This product has a chrome, not a non-stick, finish but nothing sticks to it. the simple trick and I assume it would work with failing 'non-stick' products also, is to heat the basket to grill/fire temperature before putting the vegetables or fish in it. Sure it's a little more complicated, but the results are worth it. Just used ours for the first time tonight. We heated the basket on the grill then opened it up (still on the grill) poured in the vegetables which were marinaded in an oil base, closed up the basket and cooked for 5 +5 minutes each side. Veggies came our perfectly grilled, nice grill marks on them from the basket not one stuck to the basket. Now enjoying the fruits of my labor, A nice cab and no pesky washing up to do!
