I use the basket for grilling vegetables on the side grills (Outdoorchef Perth). For that he has, in my opinion, the perfect size and is ideal for this, as I do not ever tried to open the lid to thoroughly mix the vegetables. So I have always in view, which is important for me because I already prefer a certain tan! Even my girlfriend is happy about the grilling result.
Then Clear is always a small "mess" on the side burner, because above all the herbs and spices down crumbs ... but we are here at a barbecue, so what!
