Cuisinart CNTB-422 Simply Grilling Nonstick Grilling Basket

Used it to grill scallops & veggies so far and worked beautifully for both. Lightly coated w/cooking spray 1st and was extremely easy to clean afterwards. Handle remained cool during use. Extra long handle was helpful too. Opening and closing basket was easy. The adjustable height is nice as well as it prevents foods from sliding around or bunching up. No issues with seller either. Item arrived quickly & was packaged very securely. Overall very happy with purchase. If you're looking for a grilling basket, I don't think you'll be disappointed with this one.

Perfect to make smoked salmon on the smoker!

Nice sturdy, easy to use. BUT, adjusting for thickness of meat, burger, etc, the thickness stays the same on the back end, therefore it flattens the burger and meat comes up and down thru the basket, I did fix that and don't know why manufacturer did not notice when first made, very easy to fix. Bend the handle on the piece that slides into the basket. The handle still snaps into lock, no problem. Been using 4 times a week for 6 months now, no problems at all, can grill thin vegies up to 2 inch steaks.

works great, if you take a pair of pliers you can adjust the tension on the piece that holds the upper grill piece. It also fits fine inside the grill, I think it's just right

This grilling basket is a must if you grill fish. Living in the Pacific Northwest, salmon season makes for a lot of grilling of fillets. Have this basket makes it a much easier process to get a properly cook a fillet without it sticking to the grill or drying our the fish. Placing it in the basket allows for you to easily turn the fish without worrying about the skin burning or sticking. This is huge if you want a nicely cooked piece of fish. Being able to control the meat easily makes all of the difference. It's also great for any other meat that you want to control without destroying it when it's time to flip it over. No more losing a burger through the grill grates...…. The locking mechanism works like a champ and the handle is long enough to keep your hand and arm hair in the safe zone so you don't burn yourself or your hair.. Cleaning is a bit of a pain, but so is anything else that resembles a grate. Give it a soak in warm soapy water prior to scrubbing and it comes clean pretty easily.

This is the perfect device for making sweet potato fries on the grill. I have been able to use this device, along with a couple recipes I found, to make crispy fries. Getting them to crisp is a real challenge. This device works pretty well, not perfect, but works better than anything else I have tried. Since this basket clips the food into place, turning things is a breeze. A bit more money than I think it should be, and the locking mechanism is flimsy, but I would buy it again.

Very poor quality. We used to be an all things Cuisinart household but have noticed in recent years, the quality of their products has declined sharply. From the moment we took this out of the box there was an issue. The logo nameplate was off inside the box. We shouldn't have to glue a part back on that was brand new? I contacted Amazon who ensured me that my replacement would be issue-free. Wrong. The replacement had the same issue, nameplate was off. The glue that is supposed to hold it on there isn't doing the job. After reading further reviews, we've decided to simply return the item and go with a different manufacturer. Sad to see a brand once so great become another that cuts corners resulting in poor quality. They've lost us as customers.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Hard to find in stores.

I've cooked bacon and burgers over the fire a number of times with this, and it works exactly like you want it too. My only complaint is the handle is a little short, but if you have an oven mitt or something for grabbing it you'll be fine. I suggest making sure you have a grate over your fire, or just some rocks properly positioned to set this thing on as it'll get pretty heavy if you're just holding it yourself. Never had a worry my food would fall out, and easy enough to clean.

Works great, could be made of heavier material

Easy to clean. Chicken did not stick to it. Design means there is a gap on one side between basket and surface of bbq. Makes it hard to get an even cook

its construction seems very sturdy. However when doing thicker veggies (like baby potatoes) the clasp that is supposed to keep the basket shut, pops open and risks dumping its contents. I'm going to rig something additional to the handle to keep it closed. Also if the handle was collapsible or removable then it would fit in the dishwasher, as its designed now you have to hand wash and after being on the grill its can have some burnt on material. I feel this basket has potential but needs a few design improvements.
