Good Morning Everyone,

Well.....I'm mostly a lurker in these forums but lately have come out of my shell and posted a few questions.

On the weekend I decided to do some CCC. I've been a consultant for about a year and I really neglect to do CCC mainly out of hesitation because I always dread the word "no". I know it's ok, but I still feel terrible when I hear it.

Last night I was on to my third and final call, and spoke to a past guest. She was not at all interested in hosting, but I reviewed with her what products she had purchased from the show in July and asked if she had any questions, was she using them, etc.

She said the BBQ Grill Basket was great for veggies but they had difficulties cleaning it, so if I had any tips she would appreciate it. I don't have the grill basket....so I'm enlisting your help.

Any good tips??

Thanks a million!

AJ
 
We use our basket quite often in the Summer, and I find it helpful to use the kitchen brush. Tell her to make sure she sprays the basket with Pam for the Grill (both sides) before she uses it, and it makes it easier to clean.
 
We stick our in the dishwasher - it doesn't come back to the beautiful shiny silver - but its clean!!

This is exactly what I found as well. I even run it through the DW first to get all the major stuff off then scrub it a bit with the kitchen brush.

I try to tell people when they purchase it that it will not stay shiny and pretty!
 
Kitchen brush.Also, it says right on the use and care that it will get "seasoned" so to speak. It will never be shiny and new again.
 
I soak mine in about 2" of water in the sink in soapy water and then scrub it with the kitchen brush. But I never seem to have room for it in the dishwasher, LOL.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I clean the BBQ Grill Basket after use?

To clean the BBQ Grill Basket, allow it to cool completely after use. Then, soak it in warm soapy water for about 15-20 minutes. Use a soft sponge or cloth to scrub away any food residue. For stubborn stains, you can use a non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and let it air dry.

Can I put the BBQ Grill Basket in the dishwasher?

Yes, the BBQ Grill Basket is dishwasher safe. However, for best results and to prolong its lifespan, hand washing is recommended. If you choose to use the dishwasher, place it on the top rack to avoid any potential damage from high heat.

What should I do if food sticks to the BBQ Grill Basket?

If food sticks to the BBQ Grill Basket, try preheating the basket before adding food. Additionally, you can lightly coat the basket with cooking oil before grilling. If food has already stuck, soak the basket in warm soapy water and use a soft sponge to gently scrub it clean.

Is it safe to use metal utensils on the BBQ Grill Basket?

While it is safe to use metal utensils, it is recommended to use silicone or wooden utensils to prevent scratching the surface of the BBQ Grill Basket. This will help maintain its non-stick properties and prolong its life.

How can I remove tough stains or burnt-on food from the BBQ Grill Basket?

For tough stains or burnt-on food, create a paste using baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the affected areas and let it sit for about 30 minutes. Then, scrub gently with a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and repeat if necessary.
