The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
['The Outset QN71 is built from copper and measures 11.25 x 17.75 x 1.75 inches. That footprint fits comfortably on most standard grill grates without taking over the entire cooking surface, leaving room for other food alongside it. The integrated handle makes it easy to lift the grid on and off without scrambling for tongs.', 'Copper conducts heat quickly and evenly, which is useful for delicate items that benefit from consistent surface temperature. At 2 lbs, the grid is light enough to handle one-handed, and the raised 1.75-inch height keeps food lifted slightly above the main grate.', 'At $28.39, this is a mid-range grill accessory rather than a cheap wire basket. The 4.3-star rating from 237 buyers suggests it performs reliably across a range of grill types and fuel sources. Copper will darken and patina with use, which is cosmetic and does not affect function.']

Performance notes
Material is copper. Dimensions are 11.25 x 17.75 x 1.75 inches and weight is 2.0 lbs. No fuel type or BTU data applies since this is a surface accessory, not a burner component.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Outset QN71 on a gas grill?
Yes, the grid works on gas, charcoal, and other grill types since it simply rests on top of your existing grates. Copper handles direct heat well. Place it over medium to medium-high heat for best results with fish and vegetables, since copper heats quickly and food can overcook fast at very high temperatures.
How do I clean the Outset QN71 after grilling?
Let the grid cool completely before handling. Scrub it with a stiff brush and warm soapy water to remove food residue. Copper will naturally darken with repeated use, which is normal. Avoid abrasive steel wool that could scratch the surface. Most buyers find a quick scrub after each use keeps it in good working condition.
What types of food work best on this grill grid?
This grid is designed for foods that would fall through standard grill grates: fish fillets, shrimp, scallops, sliced vegetables like zucchini and peppers, and small sausages. The fine mesh surface supports these items while still allowing smoke and heat to circulate. It is not the right tool for large roasts or whole chickens.
