Essential Barbecue Grill Tool -
A BBQ Basket

I think that the first barbecue grill tool I ever bought was a BBQ rack or basket while on holiday in Portugal. Fish was the order of the day on that occasion.

The fishermen were bringing their catches back into port around about lunch time and on the deck there would be a small barbecue grill with a few coals in the bottom and lying on top in the BBQ fish rack were some of the freshest sardines you can imagine – fantastic.

I bought a rack the very next day and I was up and running! I use them for a variety of recipes from avocado and bacon bites or fish, right through to spatchcock chicken.

Of course you don't have to go all the way to Portugal to buy one of these baskets now, in fact you don't even have to leave the comfort of your own own home because there's a great range of products available at competitive prices from BBQ.com.

BBQ baskets come in all shapes and sizes (the one above is designed for a fish) so I’m sure you’ll end up buying a few in your barbecuing life so to start you off here’s just a couple of pointers to get you going:-

  1. Make sure there’s a long handle preferably encapsulated in plastic (so you don’t burn your hands)
  2. Consider plastic handles rather than wood if dish washing is your preferred method of cleaning
  3. To prevent food sticking, brush the BBQ basket with a little oil before putting the food in.

TIP - If your basket has hinge rings (they don’t stand much pressure) strengthen the joint using a couple of key rings. This is essential when doing the spatchcock chicken, if you don’t the rack will just ping apart.

So there you have it, the ultimate grill tool - a BBQ basket.
