Derik Hammond: I really wanted to love this. Fantastic idea. But all you're doing is moving the hassle from getting the turkey out to getting the turkey in. The freshly buttered or oiled turkey that slippery as all get out and the sides of this are soft. I wish they could do collapsible with firm sides. It would be easier if at the bottom they had a bit of a hole of indent for the turkey butt to catch on to keep it centered. Got it for my father in law.

That being said, cleaning was ridiculously easy. A+ there. We'll keep trying it.

RabidChicken: Vom Konzept und der Verarbeitung her überzeugend, jedoch ist dieser Korb für den neuen Big Easy (der mit dem schwarzen Deckel, a.k.a. 3 in 1) zu klein. Damit der Korb oben am Rand aufliegen kann, habe ich alle "Krallen" mit dem Schraubstock flachbiegen müssen.

The Dog House: I asked a rep at charbroil if this collapsing backet would work with the older oiless fryer, he checked and came back and said it would. It wont ! It is an excellent idea for the newer oiless fryer without the lid. I truly wish it would work for the older one. My father past the older version on to me and I cooked my first turkey with the orginal basket a few years ago. The basket was in bad condition I scrubbed it alot to get it to a usable condition for Thanksgiving. Returning this one and lucked up finding an orginal through Charbroil and ordered it.

Y. Guner: It is great on big easy but the hooks are a little short for the roaster-smoker-grill. Needed modifications

CashFlo: Makes life so much easier cleaning basket. Just have to drop in sink and let it soak. Much easier than solid basket.

N.A.N.A.: What I liked, is the better than expected quality stainless collapsible basket. What I did not like, is the realization that the basket that I received, was too small for my Big Easy.

There is nothing in the promo that suggests the basket displayed may not fit older Big Easy units, and it was not until I loaded my brimmed and stuffed turkey into my cooker, that it was obvious that the top ring of my new basket, is too small to span the circumference of the cooker. Even in the instructions that arrived with the basked, describe how the slots that are present in the upper ring found in older units, will receive the hooks of the top ring, of the collapsible basket. As you can see, that ain't necessarily so.

So caveat emptor my fellow consumers.

T Mosley: I’ve use the charbroil turkey fryer for 10+ years. And this basket is a game changer!
Easier to load the turkey into this collapsible basket.
The collapsible design not only makes it easier to load the turkey in the basket , it makes cleanup a breeze . Collapse it and put it in the dishwasher! comes out sparkling clean.

I do not recommend that you replace the other basket with the collapsible basket.. The original basket is necessary for doing ribs, kebabs , cut up chicken .( 10 years ago the charbroil infrared turkey fryer came with a fantastic accessory kit. It’s now sold separately and it’s worth every penny )
This collapsible basket is a Fantastic addition, to the charbroil turkey fryer!
It is worth every penny.

JH: I bought a 20 lpound turkey and then found out the basket that came with the big easy would only take a 16 pound turkey. I looked up on you tube to see what other people were doing. Wow! some of the gizmos some people rigged up . I somehow found this basket and bought it knowing that if it didn't fit my big easy I could return it. When I got it , I immediately try the turkey in it and then tried it in the big easy to make sure it would fit. It did! Best turkey I have ever had. The greatest thing about this basket is when the turkey is done you pull the basket out , set it on the counter and the basket collapses down so no fighting trying to get turkey out . Buy It!
