Cooking fresh on the grill is one of the great culinary pleasures. These days with advancements in tools and appliances, grilling has become a science – which means you need to have the right metrics if you want your friends and neighbors coming back to enjoy future gatherings. Here are some products we think will secure your spot as the most popular grill master on the block.
Versatile and pliable
For the small grill and light cooker, Renook’s six-mat set might be the answer. While it’s heat-resistant up to 400 degrees, its thinness assures grill marks, flavor retention, and maneuverability. These products are non-stick, easy to clean, and with a pack of six on hand they can be easily cut to fit your grilling needs of the day. Both sides can be used over 100 times, whether grilling, roasting or baking. Yes, that’s right – you can also bake your cookies and muffins on these.
Safety and durability
What we like about this one is it can withstand up to 600 degrees of heat without compromise, protecting you from times when the grill gets a little too hot. That’s due to its thickness of 0.39mm, significantly more than most of its competitors who advise not going over 500 degrees with their product. That difference between 500 and 600 is a nice feature when you are barbequing meats, poultry, or roasting veggies. These mats are built to last you through many barbecues.
Packable problem solver
There are lots of great features here, starting with this mat’s non-stick quality, which makes sauce recipes a breeze to deal with. The mats are also easy to clean and can be placed at the top rack of a dishwasher. Their versatility makes them easy to pack when the grill is somewhere else, like a park or a pool club. Made from 100 percent PFOA-free materials with a premium PTFE-Fiberglass coating, they come in sets of two.
Safe for infrared grills, too
This 5-pack of Teflon fiber sheets features heat resistance up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and can be used inside and out for a slew of purposes. Yes, grilling meats, poultry, fish and vegetables for sure, but how about an oven pizza? Pancakes? Or even bacon and eggs? Finally, the copper color is a nice touch, providing an aesthetic quality contrast to the grill. We all know food just tastes better when it looks better, and presentation is everything.
Protects and preserves taste
Tired of aluminum foil foiling your skewers on the grill? Use these innovative Teflon mesh mats instead. These mats can handle up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. They won’t stick to the cooking surface, are good for multi-purpose grilling, and they can also be flipped as easily as a hamburger. In other words, steak for you, salmon for them, and never the two tastes shall meet. This product comes in a pack of three and can even be cut to fit toaster ovens or cookie tins.
