Laser cut food-grade stainless steel (more on that below), featuring a large crossed fork and knife logo in the center, the American Flag (with 13 stripes and 50 stars) mirrored on two walls, peppered with 5.56 round stenciled grates, and topped-off with Tacticalories logos gracing the handles.
The Tacticalories Battle Basket is TOUGH. It's constructed of professional grade 316 non-salt corrosive stainless steel.
Note - We recommend running the Battle Basket through a full heat cycle once prior to usage. Upon receipt, clean with soap and water. Heat with grill, until the basket begins to change colors, then allow to cool. Wash again with soap and water, and you're ready to rock. As mentioned, due to the nature of the metal, a color change is expected. This is purely aesthetic and does not compromise the integrity of the product.
The Battle Basket will absolutely change your grill game. Larger, deeper, sturdier, and more bad ass than any grill accessory on the market; with the Battle Basket, grilling fresh or frozen veggies becomes a breeze. Pre-chopped / sliced meats like beef, chicken, elk, or fish will be well contained and will not fall through your grills grate spacing.
Don't even get me started on how amazing Firing Lime Chipotle seasoned shrimp cooked in the Battle Basket is...
Not only can you prepare pounds of veggies in a single session, but now you can enjoy the taste that flame-grilled offers you. Add a little oil and seasoning, and I promise, this will be your go-to method of veggie prep.
I cannot stress this point enough. You will eat more veggies with the Battle Basket in your arsenal. If you're like me, there is no replacement for grilling a big slab of meat. Now, you can quickly prep the Battle Basket and cook your veggies alongside your NY strips, chicken thighs, elk medallions, or whatever alpha feast you're planning for tonight's dinner.
This part is near and dear to my heart. The truth is, this is not the worlds first grill accessory, and it certainly won't be the last. But, my promise to you is a quality, damn-good looking product that you will use more often than you realize. It will stand the test of time and will pay for itself in a few uses. What's as important to me as where this product goes is where it comes from. Every Battle Basket comes out of a local family owned precision metal fabrication shop in Rochester, New York. We are not stocking thousands of these, probably not even hundreds. These are hand-crafted with the same attention to detail you've come to expect from all of our offerings from seasoning blends to apparel. From original concept to final QC check, the Battle Basket has been in the hands of the hard-working, blue-collar workers of America. That's something I think we can all raise our glass to.
This is a massive step in the progression of Tacticalories. I genuinely believe that this product will lead this category, for the reasons listed above, and the fact that this brand has a literal tribe of users ready to slay the back-yard grills of America. So far, this has been a natural journey. It's about me. I launched Tacticalories because the seasonings I could find, sucked. The Battle Basket is no different. After an el-cheapo basket or two, I knew we could do better... we deserve it.
Well, she's here. Welcome, The Tacticalories Battle Basket.
