What is the Weber Small Grilling Basket?

This is a stainless steel grilling basket designed for Weber grills, intended for cooking vegetables, small cuts of meat, or other items that might fall through grill grates. It utilizes a wire basket design that lets heat and smoke reach the food while keeping it contained.

What are its dimensions and construction?

The small deluxe version is built from stainless steel and fits most charcoal, gas, and electric grills. According to related product info, Weber’s small vegetable basket measures approximately 7.5″ × 7.5″ with a depth of 2.4″.

How do I use it effectively?

Chop vegetables or smaller food pieces into even sizes, toss them with a bit of oil or seasoning, and place them in the basket in a single layer (not overcrowded). Then set the basket on your grill grates. Shake or stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. It can also double as a wok for small meat or vegetable stir-frying.

How do I clean and maintain this basket?

After use, let it cool and then clean it with warm soapy water or place it in the dishwasher (top rack) if the material allows. Avoid harsh steel wool or abrasive scrubbers that may scratch the stainless steel. Dry it fully before storing to prevent water spots or corrosion.
