Mesh Grilling Basket
The mesh grilling basket mimics the Mediterranean
technique of wood-fire grilling that infuses food with a
delicious smokey flavor. The open mesh allows foods
to be exposed directly to open flames searing them on
all sides, without losing ingredients to the fire. Use a
grilling mitt or glove when using the mesh grill basket,
the handle can get hot.

Care: Hand washing is recommended.
Do It Yourself Grilling Foil Basket
Make your own grilling basket by shaping 2 layers
of heavy duty aluminum foil over a flat bottom bowl
or deep baking dish. Remove the foil from the bowl
or baking dish and crimp the edges to form the rim.
Poke small holes into bottom of foil with sharp object.
Holes should be large enough to expose food directly
to grill flames but small enough to keep food from
falling through. Perfect for grilling a meal without the
clean-up!
Grilling Tips and Timesavers
· Add smokey flavor to foods --soak wood chips in
water for one hour, then wrap in foil to form a
pouch. Punch a few holes into the foil and place
directly on coals.
· Avoid scorching kabob skewers --soak the skewers
in water before threading them with meat and
vegetables. Then wrap skewer ends with foil.
· Remove the lid to your grill as seldom as possible.
Each peek slows down the cooking time.
· Non-fat cooking spray helps make perfect grill marks
on any food.
