Believe me I was very skeptical at first – I was sure it would be burned to a crisp in no time. I soon found out they are a fiberglass mat coated with PTFE (“Teflon”) material – same as what is used on your nonstick frying pans. I quickly discovered that all mats are not created equal. They are made at many different thicknesses and the percentage of “Teflon” varies greatly. After receiving samples I dropped one of the better quality mats on my grill and I soon was reading 350 F on my temp gage. I laid the oil dripping, marinated chicken on the mat and it immediately they started to sizzle! I soon noticed the marinade was staying puddled around the chicken and there were no flare ups from the oils dripping down to the burners – Nice! Later I started to turn the chicken and it slid across the mat. With a grill full of golden brown chicken staring up at me I brushed on another generous coat of marinade. I then loaded on a bowl of fresh mini sweet peppers covered in Italian dressing on the other half of the grill. As the peppers continued to sizzle in the puddles of dressing I started to turn them discovering distinctive grill marks doted throughout – Gorgeous! Nothing stuck to the mat as I removed the perfectly cooked food of the grill and immediately turned off the burners as there was nothing to “cook” off the grill grates – I refuse to admit the number of times we forgot to go back and turn of the grill, sometimes emptying the tank. Proudly I set the food on the table and we enjoyed a great meal. After dinner I went back out to the grill and lifted the mat full of caked on burnt sauce – WOW, the grill grates had nothing to clean. I took the mat to the kitchen sink and with a few wipes with the dish cloth and warm soapy water the mat easily cleaned right off and was ready for the next use. Needless to say the grill mat far exceeded my expectations.

This product was provided at a discounted price in exchange for a fair honest review.I Love these grill mats! I use mats every day for literally everything such as veggies burgers fish and shrimp kabobs, you name it! They are the best because you do not lose you food into the grill slots, it cooks th e food evenly and it keeps the grill clean. They clean up well if you do it right away. I do not like putting them in the dishwasher because the stuck food will give you a clog. I have…
I ordered these to mimic a hot plate on my grill and in the oven. I like that they are flexible and you can cut them to size. I haven’t used them on the grill just yet and that’s their main purpose when I do I will update my review.I did use them today as a nonstick surface in making some tamales and used them as a secondary hot surface for cooking it held the heat really well and I think it will work great on the grill. I want to try it with making fish I wonder if it will make…
I bought these mats to use on my grill, but now that I see them, I will also use them to cover baking sheets. If you can, store them flat instead of rolled up. Then, they will lie flat on your baking sheet.What I like:-They are large enough to cover a standard baking sheet, and if you don’t like the size you definitely could cut them.-Easily wipes clean-withstands pretty high heat (just watch if your grill has hot-spots)Note: I received a discount for…
