How To Make Your Grilling Basket Work Best For You

Here’s how to help prevent foods from sticking, and for extra browning, preheat your grilling basket on the grill before adding ingredients.

  • Toss ingredients. We like snap peas, green beans, small potatoes and carrots – with oil and seasonings before placing in the grill basket. 
  • Arrange foods in a single layer. This helps maximise browning and minimise steaming.
  • Resist the urge to flip or stir your food often. As with cooking indoors, the less you turn it, the more flavour and browning you’ll develop!
