Find the $30 Grill Basket Tyler Florence Swears by at Amazon

Celebrity chef and James Beard Award-nominated restaurateur Tyler Florence released a cookbook in May called American Grill: 125 Recipes for Mastering Live Fire. Clearly, he’s no stranger to a backyard barbecue. Luckily for us, he’s of the “teach a person to fish” mentality, and offered up a list of tips and go-to gadgets to make the grilling process easier at home. One of his favorite products? This $30 dishwasher-safe basket that’s perfect for smaller vegetables and larger proteins alike. 

Shizzo Grill Basket 

“You put food straight on the grill, flip them over, and lose 10% because they fall down the grate,” announced Florence during a cooking demonstration at the 2024 Food & Wine Classic in Aspen. “We’re not doing that anymore, right?” Right. With this basket in hand, we’ll never again have to sacrifice our asparagus spears or marinated shrimp to the inferno raging beneath. 

This stainless steel model comes with a removable handle so the grip stays cool while the metal heats up, and features a sturdy locking mechanism to ensure everything remains inside when turning it over. At 12 inches long by 9.5 inches wide, it easily fits enough food to feed two people, with room to spare. It also comes with a basting brush, carrying bag, and four metal skewers. 

If grilling vegetables, Florence recommends slicing them “consistently and evenly” before filling the basket. From there, you “latch it, put it on top of the grill, flip it once, flip it again, and it’s done.” It’s that easy. 

With more than 2,000 five-star ratings at Amazon, this product is a customer favorite. One shopper called it an “excellent addition” to their lineup of barbecuing gadgets, noting that they bought a second unit not long after trying out their first. Another customer wrote that it “works like a champ,” and said it was “lightweight, easy to load, easy to flip, easy to clean.”  

Trusting Florence’s cooking recommendations is like craving dessert after dinner — it just makes sense. Follow his lead, and that of thousands of others, and step up your grilling game with this $30 basket at Amazon.
