Foodie Mob Kitchen Find: Weber Deluxe Grilling Basket

I love grilling vegetables. There’s just something about a pile of roasted veggies alongside a good steak that makes dinner even better.

But if you’ve ever tried grilling vegetables directly on the grates, you know the drill. You’re trying to turn them without losing half of them to the grill gods! 😂

That’s why I picked up the Weber Deluxe Grilling Basket. I wanted something sturdy that would make grilling vegetables easier. After putting it to work, here’s what I found.

This Basket Means Business

The first thing I noticed was how heavy it was. This thing feels heavy-duty!

And that weight makes a difference. While the vegetables cooked, I could stir them without the basket sliding all over the grill.

I didn’t have to hold the basket in place with one hand while stirring with the other. I could concentrate on the vegetables instead of wrestling with my equipment. That’s a win in my book!

I tested the large Weber Deluxe Grilling Basket. Amazon also offers a smaller version, so you can choose the size that best fits your grilling needs.

The Vegetables Turned Out Great

I loaded up the basket with a mix of vegetables and let them cook.

They cooked really well, and it was easy to stir and move everything around. No chasing vegetables across the grill or trying to rescue little pieces that decided to make a break for it.

Now, here’s something I learned pretty quickly: this basket heats up fast!

I had to adjust the grill temperature to keep the vegetables from burning. That’s on me. I learned to keep an eye on the heat instead of assuming I could just set it and forget it.

Once I got the temperature right, the vegetables turned out great.

So, How About Cleanup?

After dinner, the basket had evidence it had been working! I took a picture before cleaning it to show what it looked like after a real grilling session.

I soaked it for a while, and it cleaned up pretty well with little trouble.

Some discoloration remained, but that didn’t surprise me after putting stainless steel to work over a hot grill. I’m more interested in how it performs than whether it looks brand-new after every cook.

Overall, cleanup was pretty easy.

Would I Use It Again?

Absolutely!

I really like this Weber grilling basket. It’s sturdy, stays put while I’m stirring, and makes cooking vegetables on the grill much easier.

Just remember my little lesson: the basket heats up quickly, so watch your grill temperature. Those vegetables need to be grilled, not turned into charcoal! 😂

For me, this is a useful addition to my grilling setup, and I’ll be using it again.

Now I’m curious: Do you use a grilling basket for your vegetables, or do you put them straight on the grill?
