Weber CRAFTED Outdoor Kitchen Collection Grillware
Ever since Weber popularized grilling in backyards across America, you pretty much knew what you were getting from the grates of these outdoor cookers. Burgers, hot dogs, chicken wings, sausage — the usual grilled grub we all associate with a cookout in the middle of summer. So leave it to Weber, the pioneer of modern grilling, to completely reimagine what can be cooked on a gas grill. Their not-so-secret weapon? The Weber CRAFTED Outdoor Kitchen Collection, a comprehensive line of custom-fit grillware that lets you sear, roast, bake, steam, and even stir-fry on a single gas grill. If the menu in your mind’s eye is already expanding, imagine what your friends will say when you lift the lid of your Weber grill to reveal a beautifully sauteed stir fry, or a bubbling stew, or a perfectly fired pizza, or… sorry, we get like this when we’re hungry.
This revolutionary idea is astoundingly simple: just remove the right-hand grill grate and place it on a side hanger hook, insert the Weber CRAFTED Frame Kit if necessary, and slot in the day’s grillware of choice. (Though it’s a seemingly small detail, offsetting the frame was critical; Weber found that users of its Gourmet BBQ System lamented the grilling space eaten up by its centered design, so this new configuration saves precious real estate.) The 7-piece collection includes a flat top griddle, dual-sided sear grate, wok & steamer, roasting basket, glazed baking stone, rotisserie skewers, and Dutch oven duo. Yes, that means you’ve got a different Weber CRAFTED grillware accessory for every day of the week!
Weber CRAFTED grillware was introduced alongside the latest Weber Genesis gas grill rollout — some models even include the frame kit and a storage locker for the flat accessories — but frame kits are available for Spirit and SmokeFire grills as well. If you plan to purchase a Weber Genesis, be sure to check whether it comes with the built-in frame before adding any (or, let’s be serious, all) of the Weber CRAFTED accessories to your grilling arsenal. But first, why not take a look at what each member of the Weber CRAFTED Outdoor Kitchen Collection has to offer in your quest for ultimate cooking versatility?
Weber CRAFTED Flat Top Griddle
Hello, breakfast on the grill. The Weber CRAFTED Flat Top Griddle provides the exceptional heat retention and even heat distribution we all expect from this cooking style, with drainage slot channels quickly removing grease for easy cleanup. Sear-able meats like steak and burgers also enjoy an all-over crust from griddle cooking, while veggies are just as eager to welcome that intense caramelization.
Weber CRAFTED Dual-Sided Sear Grate
Getting those perfectly diamond-shaped sear marks on steak requires timely turning, something not every griller may have mastered. That’s the beauty of the Weber CRAFTED Dual-Sided Sear Grate, which is designed with crosshatched grids to ensure your steaks have a restaurant-quality look every time. Better yet, this piece of Weber CRAFTED grillware has a durable, non-stick finish to prevent your steaks from clinging to the grates.
Weber CRAFTED Wok & Steamer
This ultra-versatile Weber CRAFTED accessory includes a wok, wok frame, lid, and steamer basket. With the wok, you can easily grill a light stir fry or savory paella boosted with flavors only a backyard grill can impart. The steamer basket, meanwhile, is a great option for preparing vegetables or even crabs while enjoying the company and comforts of your backyard. Let’s see another gas grill do that!
Weber CRAFTED Roasting Basket
Built with small slots to allow just the right amount of heat and flame kisses through, the Weber CRAFTED Roasting Basket is perfect for bringing grilled flavor to sliced veggies, delicate fish, and even small-cut meat. This accessory is constructed using durable stainless steel for longevity in the outdoors, along with built-in carrying handles to make transport effortless. The only difficulty is figuring out what to cook on it!
Weber CRAFTED Glazed Baking Stone
Doesn’t “backyard bakery” have a nice ring to it? (One second; we’re contacting legal for a trademark.) Anyway, it’s easy to make a culinary playground of your Weber CRAFTED Glazed Baking Stone: pizza for family movie night, cookies for the kids, and bread for those flavored oils your significant other just had to buy. Its durable, glazed surface makes cleanup a breeze so you can spend more time reflecting on the seemingly impossible fact that you just used your grill as an oven.
Weber CRAFTED Rotisserie Skewers
Major props to Weber on this piece of CRAFTED grillware: the Rotisserie Skewers can be used on their own for kebabs, or attached to a Weber grill rotisserie rod for rousingly slow-roasted cooking. Whether you go the rotisserie route or grill with skewers on their own, these durable Weber CRAFTED Rotisserie Skewers will help you get an even cook on whatever you’re serving for the party. This accessory includes 6 skewers, a storage bag, and mounting brackets for use with a grill rotisserie or the Weber CRAFTED system.
Weber CRAFTED Dutch Oven Duo
Originally created for the Weber Gourmet BBQ System, the Dutch Oven Duo slots right into the Weber CRAFTED frame to help take your outdoor cooking into the next level. Its porcelain-enameled cast iron is easy to clean, built to last, and excellent at providing the heat retention and evenness we all prize in Dutch ovens. Then there’s the flat top lid, which doubles as a stand-alone griddle! The pieces of the multi-purpose Weber CRAFTED Dutch oven Duo can be used together or separately; try brewing a stew while searing meat on the lid.
Weber CRAFTED Frame Kit
And finally, the frames that tie everything together. Genesis grills ending in “30” or “35” come with the Weber CRAFTED Frame Kit already built in, while all other models require you to purchase it separately. There are also Weber CRAFTED Frame Kits for Spirit and SmokeFire grills available. Each frame features a center ring that holds all Weber CRAFTED Outdoor Kitchen Collection grillware, making a single accessory the key to unlocking limitless cooking potential on your Weber grill. So, what will you be cooking first? Whatever it is, you can bet your guests will be pleasantly surprised — and that your grilling experience will be that much more enriching.
