Secure Attachments:

Balance the Basket:
Properly balance the Spin Basket to ensure even cooking. An imbalanced basket can result in uneven heat distribution and suboptimal cooking results.
Regular Fastening and Checking:
The nuts may come loose when heated as the stainless steel expands. Regular fastening or checking is required. Use pliers to give them a good fasten before use, and check during use to ensure they remain secure. You do not want the basket to come loose during cooking.
Adjust as Needed:
Don’t be afraid to make adjustments as you go. The versatility of the Spin Basket allows for modifications to achieve the best performance with your specific setup.
Safety First:
It is recommended to use heat-resistant gloves, such as heat gloves or welding gloves, when adding the basket to a braai or BBQ that already has hot coals. This will help protect your hands from burns and ensure safe handling of the equipment.
By following these tips and utilising the provided adapters and rods, you can confidently incorporate the OZ Braai Spin Basket into your grilling setup, creating a more versatile and enjoyable outdoor cooking experience.
