Barbecue Grate in Stainless Steel for a 10-Skewer Brazier, 60 cm

This open grate turns a brazier sized for 10 skewers into a continuous barbecue cooking surface. It is useful for foods that are better laid out than threaded onto skewers, including individual cuts of meat, fish, and vegetables. The rectangular grate sits above the firebox, with the ingredients resting directly on its parallel rods. This format works equally well for a relaxed picnic, an outdoor family meal, or preparing several ingredients over charcoal at the same time.

Dimensions and construction for a proper match

The grate is 60 cm long and is intended for the 10-skewer brazier format. Its cooking surface is assembled from 4 mm rods set 1.5 cm apart. A rectangular perimeter frame joins the parallel rods into one flat surface. This is an open, single-level design rather than a hinged basket that clamps food between two halves. Meat, fish, and vegetables can therefore be arranged freely and turned individually with barbecue tongs or a spatula.

• Stainless steel construction. The material is suitable for repeated use as an open cooking surface above the heat and can be cleaned once it has cooled.
• 60 cm length. This is the main dimension to compare with the supporting edges of the firebox.
• 10-skewer brazier format. The designation distinguishes this version from the shorter grates in the same range.
• 4 mm rod diameter. The parallel rods provide multiple supporting lines beneath the food.
• 1.5 cm spacing. Heat reaches the ingredients through the open gaps; small pieces should be cut larger than the gap or cooked on a suitable barbecue mat or tray.

Cooking over charcoal

Place the brazier on firm, level ground before setting the grate across its upper edges. Make sure the perimeter frame is supported securely on both sides. Add food once the charcoal has formed a steady heat without tall open flames. The unrestricted surface makes it easy to separate meat from vegetables, reserve room for turning, and remove individual portions as they finish cooking. As there is no second clamping half, turn each item separately and use utensils with handles long enough to keep your hands away from the heat.

The 1.5 cm gaps are best suited to pieces that rest confidently across several rods. Position narrow slices and smaller vegetables across the rods to increase their contact area. A broad spatula is useful for lifting fish while supporting the fillet or whole piece from below. Spread the food evenly instead of loading a single edge, and leave enough space to reach every portion without disturbing the others.

Checks to make before choosing

Braziers described by the same skewer capacity do not always share identical outer measurements. Measure the seating area of your firebox as well as relying on the 10-skewer description. Compare the support span with the grate’s 60 cm length and confirm that the frame cannot drop into the firebox or rock on decorative projections. Check the available width at the top as a separate measurement. In use, the grate should remain horizontal, stable, and clear of the charcoal.

Wash and dry the surface thoroughly before its first use. After cooking, allow the metal to cool naturally, remove food residue with a sponge or brush, and dry the grate before putting it away. Do not pour water onto the grate while it is extremely hot, since an abrupt temperature change is undesirable for a metal structure. Store it clean in a dry place. With this simple routine, the grate remains ready for the next outing and provides an easy way to switch from traditional skewers to open-surface barbecue cooking.
