每个曾经让自己疯狂地在烤架和炉子之间疯狂地冲刺的厨师都想知道，在外面做一顿饭需要什么？它需要正确的工具，烤篮或炒锅可以使将较小或精致的食物从厨房和烤架带到烤架上大有帮助，而不必担心小块穿过炉排。值得一提的是，篮子或炒锅必须驯服火焰，让烟熏味，并使其易于折腾或搅动物品以防止它们过度煮熟。

The grill basket category can be confusing, because similar-looking items are called baskets, or woks, or grill skillets. We focused on perforated pans with raised sides and open tops that allow you to shake or flip cut-up vegetables, pieces of meat, or shrimp—food you might otherwise skewer.

We tested a range of shallow-sided perforated pans in round, square, and rectangular versions, some with long handles like a skillet’s. Materials included stainless steel, porcelain-enameled nonstick surfacing, other nonstick coatings, and cast iron.

What to look for

• Grill baskets need to stand up to high, direct temperatures; look for sturdy construction and hefty weight.
• 如果优先清理优先，则不粘处理超越不锈钢，这需要真正的擦洗才能保持清洁（尽管大多数不锈钢都可以在洗碗机中使用）。
• 瓷搪瓷往往比其他不粘涂层更坚硬。尽管我们无法测试寿命，但我们确实消除了表现出不适当剥落或碎裂的任何不粘篮。
• Holes shouldn’t be so big that slices of onions or other slim veggies fall through, and they need to be well formed and smooth so jagged edges or slits don’t trap food.
• Sides should be high enough to accommodate abundant vegetables and permit shaking as well as stirring.

Grilling Baskets: top picks

发明铜色不粘烤锅
$ 25，ChefTools.com

锅上的穿孔圆形的侧面使热量均匀地循环，并易于搅拌或扔蔬菜和虾。该炒锅尽管外观不是由铜制成的，而是用铜色瓷器 - 陶瓷涂层喷洒的钢，但加热略缓慢。但是米洛尔的热量意味着您不需要不断搅拌蔬菜，锅也很慢，甚至煮过虾。底部的表面积比方锅的表面积小，如果您想烤鱼片，这是一个问题。循环金属手柄比其他锅上的金属手柄保持凉爽，并允许悬挂存储。

Mr. Bar-B-Q’s Platinum Prestige Premium stainless-steel grilling wok
$16,Amazon.com

The heavy steel and solid construction of this 12-inch-square wok made it our favorite among the stainless versions. The rolled handles made transporting it, especially with oven mitts, a bit awkward, but they took up less room on the grill. The thick body delivered a predictable heat, which means better-controlled cooking for vegetables and shrimp. But the stainless material proved less forgiving than nonstick-coated woks, especially when used over high heat. The tradeoff for the durability of stainless is that you can’t close the grill and walk away, or you’ll get veggies charred on the outside and raw inside.

Charcoal Companion nonstick square wok
$ 15，Amazon.com

Charcoal Companion makes a comprehensive line of grill woks and baskets, and though each model has different strengths, this 12-inch-square version was the overall favorite for even heat distribution and versatility. The steel pan conducts heat well for a combination grill/stir-fry effect, and it feels substantial. Its sides are slightly higher than Mr. Bar-B-Q’s, and it has the same rolled metal handles, which are a little hard to grab with mitts. But as with the Mr. Bar-B-Q, it sits compactly on the grill. It cooked cheese polenta with minimal sticking, and cleanup with a plastic scrubber was quick.

木炭伴侣的铸铁烧烤锅
$32,4thegrill.com

这个铸铁烧烤锅值得特别提及。它的行为与所有其他测试的锅和篮子大不相同，但我们成长为热爱其性能。正方形，外面涂有搪瓷涂层，并进行了预种，该炒锅比钢或铝制炒锅厚几乎三倍。它的加热比其他测试的金属更慢，但是可以很好地散发热量，以至于我们可以在烤架上放置长达5分钟的情况，而无需担心，甚至虾也没有在高温下燃烧。鱼弄湿了，当搅拌和煮熟时，即使在高火上搅拌时，蔬菜很容易滑落。清理也很容易。额外的重量（超过8磅），这不是最简单的操作。但是，如果您是铸铁烹饪的粉丝，则可能需要考虑此选项。

我们如何测试

We tried 16 baskets and woks in side-by-side tests over a gas grill supplemented with wood chips. We roasted a pile of cut vegetables, shell-on marinated shrimp, fish fillets, and chilled squares of cheese polenta to assess evenness of heat distribution, browning, placement and size of holes, comfort of handles, ease of use, and cleanup.
