We love to barbecue year-round. And, one of the things we love to barbecue most is vegetables. Grilled veggies have no competition in the Xeno household. A couple of years ago my wife returned from a Pampered Chef Party with a **Pampered Chef Grill Basket**. Although we had a stainless steel vegetable griller, her choice was excellent. The Pampered Chef Grill Basket at 11" x 8.5" x 2" and constructed with stainless steel wire has become one of our favorite grilling tools. It's large enough to hold a family sized portion of vegetables, but compact enough to allow me to lower the lid of our Char-Broil gas grill. The wire construction of the basket allows the heat to evenly reach the vegetables and grill the veggies in a reasonable amount of time. The wire handles allow me to toss the veggies easily while they grill. However, it's really important to remember to be wearing heat-proof gloves or mitts while using the basket. When grilling is done, the basket is extremely easy to clean with nothing more than a good warm soapy water soak. Over time, the wire basket tends to discolor (rainbow), but it becomes no less functional. Initially, I used Barkeeper's Friend scouring powder on it to keep it shiny and bright, but I don't worry about its brightness anymore. I keep maintenance to a minimum. If you're looking for and excellent grilling basket, look no further. I highly recommend the Pampered Chef Grill Basket.

We bought this to replace a non-stick grill basket that had gotten scratched up due to frequent use. This quickly became our favorite grilling utensil. This basket is good quality. There were several features that made us realize how flawed our first basket was: 1. Made from stainless steel. Non-stick baskets get scratched easily from barbecue tools, which become a health hazard. 2. Good design - High sides keep food from spilling out. The mesh holes are small enough to prevent food from sliding through. 3. Basket handles. Our previous pan had one long handle that prevented the grill from shutting. We use this almost daily during the summer and definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys grilling. If you have found this review helpful, let me know with a "thumbs up!"

We grill out for every holiday from Easter through Labor Day. We love eating outside on the deck while the kids play in the yard. However, either myself or my mother in law always had to be inside preparing foods on the stove while my father in law and husband did the grilling. We found the Pampered Chef BBQ Grill Basket and decided we would try it. It has been an absolute blessing. It is lightweight , but not flexible metal. Instead it is great quality and very sturdy. It has allowed us to cook everything on the grill for holidays. We use it particularly to cook vegetables on the grill and they dont fall through the grill plates and make a mess with this basket. Everything cooking together means everyone spending time together. I would definetly pay the money again for this it was well worth it. If you want to do cook everything together I recommend this particulaly if you are a family who enjoys vegetables on the grill. We love them:)

The Pampered Chef BBQ Grill Tray is the best grill accessory I have ever purchased. We use it all of the time. It has enabled us to grill many different types of food, especially vegetables, that we really had no other good way to grill before. The design of this grill basket is the best design that I've seen. It doesn't have a long handle that forces you to keep the lid of your BBQ open. You can place this basket on your grill and easily shut the lid. It's big enough to hold a lot of food, but small enough that it doesn't take up the entire surface area of your grill. Having sides that go up as far as the sides of this grill basket is nice, because you can really place a lot more food in it. The handles on either side are easy to grip and enables you to carry the food to and from the grill with ease. The basket can easily be cleaned and doesn't take a lot of scrubbing. I would own two of these!

We love The Pampered Chef and use their products for pretty much everything. We love all of their grilling products! We own two of these grilling baskets for our house and one for the lake and we use them for all sorts of things...  We cook fish, chicken, asparagus, shrimp, squash, onions, potatoes... the list goes on and on... We, also, bought the BBQ grilling tray when that came out...  They are stainless steel and relatively easy to clean. It has never rusted and it is very durable, no bending or warping... It is a pretty heavy duty tool that we have really enjoyed using! I even go out in the winter and do a little quick grilling for my wife and me. She has The Pampered Chef skewers for putting chunks of meat and veggies on... DELICIOUS!  We will definitely keep using this and recommend it to our friends here and at the lake. A must have for anyone who loves to cookout or loves to eat food that is cooked out!

I bought the Pampered Chef BBQ Grill Basket for my husband because he loves to grill and was wanting a basket so he could start trying his hand at grilled vegetables too.  I love all my Pampered Chef products so when I noticed that they should the grill basket, I had to get it!  And once again, Pampered Chef didn't let me down. The basket is stainless steel, but very lightweight.  It looks like it would be heavy but it was light as could be.  Being so light, I thought it might bend easily, but I was surprised how well it's held up.  It's a very sturdy little basket. It's not too big which is great for us.  We wanted a smaller basket so we could cook other things at the same time.  The bigger grill baskets take up too much space on our grill, but this one was the perfect size.  It's also a good size to store easily. It's easy to clean as well.  Being dishwasher safe, I can just put it in there and be done!  We've really enjoyed the grill basket, and I would definitely suggest getting this one if you are looking for a good quality basket.

Grilling season only lasts so long in Minnesota.  But when it is here, I grill all the time.  I was getting bored with the staples - burgers, pork chops, steaks, chicken, etc - and when I saw the grill basket I thought of so many different grilling possibilites that I just had to buy it.  I have owned it now for about five months, and I can honestly say I have used it an average of three times a week since I bought it.  I love it!  I grill vegetables constantly.  The basket is a great way to cook them, even in olive oil and spices.  I just line it with aluminum foil first.  I grill garilc bread in it.  I grill "stir fry".  I grill fajita meat.  I even have tried grilling fruit.  It has made my grilling so much more interesting this summer.  I am going to really miss it this winter and in the below zero temperature and twelve inch deep snow.  I would highly recommend this to anyone, even if you've never grilled before.  You cannot go wrong with this basket!

I have used pampered chef products for years.  I love everything they have and all my products last.  I've had a few stones break but they were pretty old.  I just got a charcoal grill because I didn't know how to use a grill when I bought this basket.  I saw the grill basket and made up my mind to learn.  It is the best grilling piece ever.  I cut up vegetables from my garden and have nice healthy veggies as a side.  I also love to cut up chicken pieces for wraps and grill them.  It is so easy to use to just grab the handles and take your food inside.  It comes with a 3 year waranty just in case there is a problem.  I also love that it is dishwasher safe.  That saves me time and trouble.  Just pop it in the dishwasher and go.  The price seems a little high but I had a party and got it pretty cheap.  I've looked around in other stores and the price is higher.  This is a healthy easy way to grill more food, than in a pan.
