Do I need a grill basket?
That has always been the question in the back of my mind when I see grill baskets in the stores.
The answer really depends on who you’re grilling with and what you’re grilling. In the picture above, you can see some items in a basket and others are not. The items not in the basket are sliced thing and long so they will not fall through the grates.
The items in the basket are sliced too thin and small and will fall through the grates.
These are simple rules when trying to figure out if you want a basket or not. Your grill partner or sous chef is the other factor. If they are slicing small and thin then you’ll definitely need a basket. If not, I recommend doing all the grilling as a whole vegetable or at least as whole as possible and then slice afterwards.
