Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
Mesh pans designed to sear and brown all kinds of small foods on an outdoor grill.
Why we love it:
In Spain's picturesque Basque region, restaurant cooks use mesh frying pans like these to sauté vegetables on outdoor grills, infusing the food with a delicious smoky tang. These grill-top pans are faithful to the originals, woven of heavy-gauge, stainless-steel wire that holds foods securely and promotes exceptional searing. They're especially useful with foods that are challenging to grill, including vegetable side dishes, croutons, and the ingredients for kabobs and fajitas. The Chef's Pan is designed with high sides and an attached lid, so you can shake and toss its contents. Both feature stainless-steel long and helper handles that you'll find helpful when sliding the pans back and forth over a hot grill. Dishwasher safe. Chef's Pan, 12" diam., 8" high; Fry Pan, 12" diam., 3" high.
Who we'd give it to:
BBQ fans will enjoy
outdoor grilling even more with these pans.
