Weber 6470 Small Stainless Steel Grill Basket

Unfortunately the salmon we grilled with this basket was difficult to remove from the basket even though we used olive oil to baste it before cooking. So it stuck to the basket and it was hard to clean off the basket as well. We can still use it for vegetables however. Loved all the other Weber products we purchased though.

You can pass on this item. Instead, buy a grilling basket or grilling pan. With a grilling basket, you can easily grill vegetables and with a grilling pan you'll find grilling fish is a breeze (a fish spatula helps too).

Horrible design. The basket doesn't have a real locking mechanism, so you can only fit very skinny food in there, plus there is always the possibility that it pop opens when you turn the food.

I purchased the Weber Stainless Steel Fish Basket specifically to grill medium to large sized whole fish. Despite using a generous amount of oil to prep the fish as well as the basket the fish was very difficult to remove. Furthermore, cleanup was a nightmare. If I could I would definitely return this item for a full refund.

I have both the large version and the small version and have used them for 8 years. Absolutely love them and picking one up for my son. I use them exclusively for grilling fish . Use some spray oil and you really shouldn't have any problems with sticking once seasoned. The small holds about 1.5 pounds of fish. The large closer to 2.5 to 3 pounds. I have tried using these for vegetables but can say it's not the right tool mainly due to mesh not being fine enough. Recommend buying a pair of welding gloves to handle.

This basket is perfect for grilling salmon and other types of fish

We've had this for 4-5 years and use it regularly for fish -- probably weekly in the summertime. Have not had much of an issue with fish sticking, though we do oil the fish lightly on both sides before putting it in the basket. Basket makes flipping the fish and moving it from hotter to cooler regions very simple. Cleanup is easy if you let the grill do the work -- char all the left-on bits of fish, and then use the grill brush while basket it still on the hot grill to brush it clean. Works well when used properly, but I guess it may take a bit of learning.

Same somplaints as others. Fish sticks to unit Unit does not appear to snap together

I received this basket as a gift and would love to hear from Weber any tips to help using it with fish, based on prior review. Thank you.
