Is the handle safe to touch while cooking?

Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the wire mesh.
Ensure you lightly coat the metal mesh with vegetable or olive oil before placing food inside to create a non-stick barrier.
The basket is difficult to close with thick food items.
Do not overstuff the basket; if the food is too thick, the hinge may be stressed. Try arranging the food in a thinner layer or cutting vegetables into smaller pieces.
Wooden handle feels hot.
Ensure the handle is positioned over the cool zone of your grill or outside the grill lid when closed to prevent heat transfer.
