Grilling

Grills, baskets and tools with steel, cast iron or enamel where the food cooks.

A stainless steel lid does not tell you what the grate is made from.  We focus on grates, baskets and presses, avoiding PFAS cooking coatings and plastic against food.  Outdoor grills and stovetop accessories are identified separately, with the maker's heat limits and ventilation instructions kept clear.
