I think the only use for this is if you absolutely need to
cut your vegetables small for grilling, for some reason.

As a rule, cutting them bigger makes them easy to grill
and that's what I do. Don't think I'd have a use for this
item.

It's handy for stuff that is already small like shrimp and mushrooms
etc. I most often skewer those.

Not that specific mesh pan, but I've used a similar utensil with small
mesh. Not stainless steel, rather the standard black grill
accessory. No surprises, it does just as you'd expect. If you want
the grill markings, preheat the utensil over the coals/flame. The
mesh gives you a little more smokiness than a solid pan on the grill
would. Cleaning is easy, especially if you've splashed some oil on
the veggies before they go into the pan. -aem

Thank you for all that responded.

Or a stovetop that you never intend to clean.

It might well work if you do a lot of barbequeing but I'm not going to
buy one.

Not a mesh one, but we use a square enameled pan with lots
of small holes on the bottom
for grilling various vegetables on the outdoor grill. It
works quite well.

I wouldn't try to fry any chicken in it.

Actually, you can't really fry anything in it. All the oil would leak out.

Now, that's funny. I don't care who you are.

How would you barbecue in that?

Cook's Illustrated just did a road test on grill top items and preferred
this product made by Weber.

though they liked the above WS grill pan. I'm probably going to shoot for
the Weber product.

What makes it a frying pan if you can'y fry in it? Shouldn't it be called a
grilling pan?

It would allow vegetables to be cooked more uniformly than directly on
the barbecue grid but what does it matter?

How do you bbq vegetables, with or without that? Wouldn't the low fire
temps and the long times turn the veggies into leather?

No, I don't grill - but I would think a better idea would be something
similar to this only made like a fish-griller-turner (mesh paddle
deal) that would be about an inch and a half deep and have a mesh
cover that would snap in place. Then you could load it up, snap the
cover on, and just turn it over to get all sides grilled, so to speak
- instead of trying to stir-fry in this frypan with an implement which
would catch on the mesh. That's just me, though. I used to grill....

I've got a couple of the pans with lots of holes in them. They work
well. The one you posted might be a problem stirring the veggies. I
do like Nancy2's idea to use a fish grilling basket. I've got one of
those and I might just try that.

Are you going to turn this into a bbq vs. grilling thread? And for
the record you can bbq and grill at the same time with a smoker with a
side mounted firebox. You can grill lunch and be bbq'ing dinner at
the same time on the same device.

If I had a grill (teeny apartment, 5th floor, no yard/courtyard) or a
gas stove (and didn't wear oxygen in the apartment I would definitely
get this. As for stirring/turning, aren't you supposed to shake the
pan and flip the contents? (Not that I can do that, mind you!)

You haven't seen my stovetop.

I have one similar to the Weber. It is OK, but if I was to do more mixed
small veggies cooking on the grill, the WS model seems to be better as you
can flip the stuff easier right in the pan as opposed to turning it on the
grill plate. I'm not sure I can justify $30 for a little used tool though.

I have one and we've used it a couple of times for small diced peppers
and onions on the grill. We just put it in the dishwasher afterwards.

i think the fish basket would be more practical as well, and probably
cheaper.

With veggies simply cut them into larger pieces and cook them directly on
the grill grates... even those fish baskets are a waste... wrap fish in
lettuce leaves... hispanic markets sell banana leaves for grilling delicate
foods.
