Boretti Grill Expansion Rack – Double Your Grilling Surface with Style

The Boretti Grill Expansion Rack is the clever addition that every serious barbecue enthusiast wants in their outdoor kitchen. This elegant stainless steel accessory, from the brand you know from The Great Garden Makeover, combines Italian design with Dutch quality. With this handy expansion rack, you'll take your barbecue experience to the next level, literally and figuratively. Perfect for the home cook who likes to prepare multiple dishes at once or for those who regularly welcome larger groups into the garden.

Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, this expansion rack not only provides extra grilling surface but also the flexibility to apply different cooking methods simultaneously. The compact dimensions of 30 by 27 centimetres and a height of 9 centimetres make it a versatile addition to virtually any barbecue. The material guarantees years of enjoyment, even with intensive use. Moreover, the rack is dishwasher-safe, making maintenance particularly simple – a luxury that many barbecue accessories don't offer.

Features & benefits of the expansion rack

High-quality stainless steel for optimal durability

The stainless steel material of this Boretti expansion rack was chosen for good reason. Stainless steel is renowned for its excellent resistance to high temperatures, corrosion and discolouration. This means your rack will look like new even after dozens of grilling sessions. The silver finish fits perfectly with the sleek Italian design Boretti is known for, and sits seamlessly with the aesthetics of modern outdoor kitchens and the cast-iron grates of Boretti barbecues.

Smart dimensions for maximum flexibility

With dimensions of 30 x 27 x 9 centimetres, this expansion rack is carefully designed to be compatible with most Boretti barbecues. The height of 9 centimetres creates a second grilling level where you can gently keep ingredients warm or cook them indirectly, whilst the main grate is used for direct grilling. This compact yet effective design ensures you don't waste precious grilling space, but rather use it optimally.

Dishwasher-safe for hassle-free maintenance

A unique feature that sets this expansion rack apart from many other barbecue accessories is its dishwasher safety. After an intensive grilling session, simply place the rack in the dishwasher for a thorough clean. This saves time and effort, and ensures your accessory stays hygienically clean. For those who prefer to wash by hand: the smooth stainless steel surface is also easy to rinse with warm water and washing-up liquid.

Two-year warranty for peace of mind

Boretti stands behind the quality of their products, as evidenced by the generous two-year warranty on this expansion rack. This gives you as a buyer the assurance that you're investing in a product built to last. At Boender Outdoor you can be confident that you're not only buying a quality product, but also receiving the service and support that comes with such a purchase.

Applications

Keeping prepared dishes warm

One of the most practical uses of this expansion rack is keeping dishes that are already cooked warm. Place your grilled vegetables, burger buns or even side dishes on the raised rack whilst you finish the last steaks or spare ribs on the main grate. This way you serve everything warm and at the perfect temperature, just as you would in a restaurant. This is especially handy when cooking for multiple guests where timing is crucial.

Indirect grilling and slow cooking

The 9 centimetre elevation creates distance between your ingredients and the direct heat source, which is ideal for indirect grilling. Place more delicate items such as fish, stuffed peppers or fruit on the expansion rack for a gentler, more controlled cooking method. The heat circulates around the food without it getting burnt by direct flames. This method is perfect for achieving that authentic barbecue flavour without the risk of charred exteriors.

Extra grilling surface for larger gatherings

When you invite family and friends over for a garden party, space on the barbecue is always tight. With this expansion rack you literally create a second level where you can place additional ingredients. Think of rolls you want to toast, sweetcorn that needs to cook, or mushrooms that need to bake indirectly. It practically doubles your productivity at the barbecue, allowing you to serve more people faster.

Assembly & use

The Boretti Grill Expansion Rack is designed for ease of use and requires no complicated assembly. It is a complete product that can be placed directly on your barbecue straight out of the box. Just make sure your barbecue has cooled down before you place or remove the rack, to prevent burns. Check that the rack sits stably and cannot tip over during use – safety always comes first.

On first use, we recommend thoroughly cleaning the expansion rack with warm water and washing-up liquid to remove any manufacturing residue. Then allow the rack to dry properly. Whilst stainless steel doesn't need to be seasoned like cast-iron grates, it can help to lightly coat the rack with a high-temperature oil before first use. This promotes non-stick properties and extends the lifespan.

After each use it's important to clean the rack thoroughly. Thanks to the dishwasher-safe design, this is simple: place the rack in the dishwasher or clean it by hand with a washing-up brush. For stubborn burnt-on residue, you can soak the rack first in warm soapy water. Always dry the rack well before storing it to prevent water marks. During the off-season, store the expansion rack in a dry, clean place, preferably indoors or in a lockable garden cabinet.

Frequently asked questions

Will this expansion rack fit on every Boretti barbecue?

The rack is designed to be compatible with most Boretti barbecue models, but always check the internal dimensions of your barbecue before ordering. With dimensions of 30 x 27 centimetres, it fits many models, but for very compact or extra-large barbecues we recommend comparing specifications first. If in doubt, please feel free to contact Boender Outdoor for personal advice.

Can I also use the expansion rack in my oven?

Yes, thanks to the stainless steel material, this rack is extremely heat-resistant and can also be used in the oven. This makes it a versatile kitchen accessory that you can use both indoors and outdoors. Just check the dimensions to ensure it fits in your oven, and take into account the elevated position when placing it in the oven.

How do I prevent food from falling through the rack?

The expansion rack is robustly constructed for most ingredients. For smaller items such as prawns, chopped vegetables or small pieces of fish, you might consider placing a grilling mat or aluminium foil on the rack. This prevents small pieces from falling through the bars, whilst you still benefit from the extra height and indirect grilling.

Is the rack suitable for use over charcoal?

Absolutely! The Boretti Grill Expansion Rack is suitable for use over both charcoal and gas. The high-quality stainless steel material can easily handle the intense heat from both heat sources. With charcoal barbecues, the rack is particularly valuable as you can create different heat zones by varying the distance to the coals.

What is the maximum weight the rack can hold?

Whilst Boretti don't specify a maximum weight, the stainless steel construction is sturdy enough for normal barbecue use. You can safely place multiple burgers, steaks or vegetable parcels on it at once. For optimal stability and safety, we recommend distributing the weight evenly across the surface and not concentrating everything in one spot.
