barbecue mat |
The barbecue mat work as advertised, however, do not think they retain all of the juices or other residue from grilling. We grilled five steaks on two mats. The steaks had been trimmed and produced very little residue, but we had a fire in and below the grill. We have been grilling for many years (without a mat) and this is the first time we have had a fire occur in the grill.. We put the fire out, but it was a frightening experience. Cheap investment to try this product. I cooked for 28 people over 9 days camping. I loved the BBQ Grill Mat. Non-Stick, cooked great, easy to clean. The only reason I give 4 out of 5 stars is that hamburgers felt more fried than grilled because the grease didn't fall through like usual. And there were a few flare ups when the grease ran off the edge, but not nearly as much as without the mat there. But chicken, pork, steaks, were all wonderful on the mat. I will definitely buy more when these eventually wear out. (If that ever happens.)
Love these BBQ Grill Mats. Just wish they were a little longer to cover my entire grill (which is a small grill to begin with). I should have paid more attention to the description with the measurements. I have purchased "As seen on TV" grill Mats before and they were perfect size so didn't think to research what size these were.
I am completely converted to grill mats. i was a total skeptic but they really do work.... amazing heat transfer, and they have a surprisingly high heat capacity for something so thin - you might burn yourself if you shut off the gas and go to grab this right away. i get great sear marks, and literally do not have to clean up the grills afterwards. i will say that they appear to fray and warp a bit after repeated use, and don't really clean up all that well in the dishwasher..... but when hand cleaned, properly stored, and used within the operating parameters (<500F), these things come out looking fresh each time, and I expect these to last and relegate my wire brush to the trash heap.
