How should I use this roasting rack?
1. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
2. Place the peppers upright into the rack’s openings so that their bases rest on the grill grates.
3. Roast, turning or rotating as needed, until the peppers are charred or softened to your liking.
4. If you're making stuffed jalapeños, you can fill them first and then roast, using the rack to support them upright.
5. Use the built-in handles to carefully lift the rack off the grill when done.
How do I care for and maintain it?
