Vegetable Grilling Tools
Grilling vegetables is so much different than grilling meat, because vegetables are smaller. You'll want a grill-ready pan that's large and wide to keep your veggies contained. This large square grilling pan with sloped sides gives lots of surface area for the vegetables to have their chance at getting lightly licked by the flames and giving it that perfect light char we all want from our grilled veggies.
Long grill tongs are also a necessity. You don't want to expose plastic tongs to the high heat of the grill and ruin your food with melted plastic! And long ones help you not expose your arms and hands to the high heat either.
Finally, you will need some heavy duty oven mitts to pull the pan off the grill. Don't try to juggle it with the tongs or anything like that... I know from experience! You'll end up burning your leg as grilled vegetables tumble to the ground below, leaving you in pain, hungry, and having to start all over again for dinner.
