Tennis Gear Cookers

The Quesadilla Grill Basket is Shaped Like Athletic Equipment

— October 31, 2012 — Lifestyle
The Williams-Sonoma 'Quesadilla Grill Basket' is the latest must-have cooking tool to come of the upscale kitchenware hub. Mexican-style cuisine has become a staple of restaurant menus and of popular culinary shows, spurring a cultural foodie niche that is now dedicated to the mixture of beans, cheese, corn, guacamole and sour cream.

This durable stainless steal item resembles a tennis racket. The thick handle is much like the ones made by brands like Wilson and Nike, enabling users to have a firm grip on standard and high-tech barbecues.

The wide 12" diameter also allows gourmands to stuff a hefty amount of ingredients in the Quesadilla Grill Basket. Mounds of sauteed vegetables or ground meat can therefore be piled in to the thin slices of bread, giving way to sizable meals.
