Grill Mat 2-Pack

This is an excellent product. I want to start my review off by saying that this is not a product that I would typically buy for myself. I was very happy with the results of grilling on my Weber grill (without a mat). My wife bought this for me as a gift, and I couldn’t be happier with it. I wasn’t sure whether or not to keep it, so I checked it out on Amazon. I was glad to see that the packaging matched the images, and after reading the description, I was interested. I was impressed right off the bat with how sturdy the mat was. It feels very sturdy like it is made with high quality materials. I am glad that it came with two mats, because my grill is too big for a single mat. I was impressed to see that when you stack the mats, it didn’t affect the heat transfer where they overlapped. I was also happy to see that they were easy to clean. A simple rinse in the sink, maybe a little scrubbing with a sponge and some soap, and they are good as new. I have had the mats for about 2 weeks, and I have used them about 7 times. So far I have made burgers a few times, hotdogs and brats, salmon, pork chops and a round of grilled chocolate chip cookies. The burgers were great. My niece doesn’t like any pink. I was able to cook them all of the way through, but they held in all of the juices. My niece loved it. I didn’t notice much difference when cooking the brats or hotdogs, because I usually don’t have any trouble with those sticking to the grill. The mats did help even out some of the heat though, so the brats didn’t get burnt by flare ups. The salmon is really where I noticed the difference. I typically had to spray the grill down with an anti-stick agent to keep my salmon from falling apart (My wife cant stand skin-on salmon). The mats were great! The salmon cooked evenly, and slid right off when I was done. The worst part of salmon is the excess cooked to the grill top. No mess here. Overall, this is an excellent product. After a half dozen uses, the mats still look like new and work wonderfully. Great product! And I plan on recommending it to all of my friends’ wives.

Very pleased with the grill mats! They do exactly what they intend to by keeping your meat moist and allowing the juices to flow freely and burgers on the grill are absolutely scrumptious and a game changer! I would definitely recommend the purchase of these!

Really impressed with these grill mats. They really reduce the mess of using the grill grids. We have used them to cook the following items: Brats- these are the messiest to cook on the mats, as they have high fat content. Still had nice char marks. The brats are sitting in puddle of grease on the mat, so we put them on a plate and let most of grease settle on plate before serving. Chicken breasts: the mats really do a nice job on low fat meats such as skinless chicken breasts. They give the breasts a nice grill line look, and we found the chicken to be moister than cooking it on the grill grids. Thick cut Pork Chops: these grill up similar to chicken breasts, minimal mess and almost no grease. Hamburgers: cook similar to brats, they burgers end up laying in a puddle of grease. I prefer to cook burgers directly on grill versus using the mats. Overall, easy to clean the mats (I let them soak in Dawn detergent water to help loosen the grease and burn on juices, then simply take a soft bristle scrub brush to finish cleaning them off. I store mine right on the grill, as these mats are large and hard to find a place to store them in cupboards.

Worked amazing with an easy clean up

This is my 2nd set of these grill mats, I had the 1st set for 7 years. They prevent food from falling thru like burgers, chicken, and fish. They make grilling so much better!

Sturdy, easily cleaned if done when still warm not hot.

Ok, totally objective review. I purchased the Grillaholics mats mainly because of the large number of great reviews on Amazon. Tried them out first night with bone in pork chops - no grill marks and the chops were quite tough. On the plus side, no flare ups and no sticking to the grill. The company had sent me an email asking about my experience, I told them about my experience including a picture of the chops. They responded next day advising me to soak up the grease with a paper towel so the meat wasn't frying in it's grease. Night two, did turkey burgers and soaked up the fluid as instructed. Nice results, got grill marks and turned out well. Night 3, did T bone steaks and asparagus. Really wasn't any grease to mop up and no grill marks at all. The asparagus was great, nice charmarks and done perfectly. So my final analysis would be, the mats are great for veggies, burgers, sea food etc but a steak or chop on the mat is like something done in a frypan, not a grill.

First off, as a self-proclaimed grilling aficionado and a BBQ purist, I don't typically use anything but hardwood lump coal and a match, but I thought I'd give this a try. Simply put, this mat is amazing! Let me break down the benefits... 1) Taste: I've used similar grill mat products and experienced a burned-plastic taste (which other reviewers warned me about). Not with this grill mat. This mat preserves the integrity of whatever I'm cooking. 2) Heat transfer: I prefer my steaks seared but not charred, so I get the coals nice and hot (at least 600 degrees) and sear both sides. This mat not only allows the heat through, but I can even get those highly coveted grill marks through the mat! Major plus in my book. Plus, when I'm cooking something greasy like burgers or brats, there's no arm hair-singing grease fire. Not even an occasional flare-up, which is great, considering arm hair is a requirement of a true backyard BBQer. 3) Clean up: Arguably, my least favorite part about grilling is the clean up. I like to create a mess, not clean one up. When I'm done using this mat, I can literally walk it inside (it's cool to the touch) and wipe it down with a paper towel and throw it in the dishwasher. Done. I've even started taking a spare mat with me to the grill in the neighborhood park. Those public grills are disgusting, but with my trust grill mat, my food never touches the rusty, Hepatitis-laden grates. Oh, and I'd be remiss not to mention the utility of these mats, too. On the days that I'm cooking inside, I use this mat in the oven. Baking cookies? Slap one of these bad boys down on the baking sheet and no more scraping burned cookie remnants off of the metal sheet. Cooking a roast? Put this on the bottom of the pan and presto! Clean up has never been easier. I even used the mat as a "catch-all" below a pie pan (no one likes when your whole man-lair (read: house and kitchen) smells like burned toast. Overall impression: Two man-thumbs up!

These mats are great for bbqing. They have a good thickness. They are easy to clean too.

Has made using the BBQ a much cleaner way to cook and very easy to clean after use

Used it, loved it. Opened up a whole range of possibilities on the BBQ. Update: Sept 1, 2015 These mats have significantly changed the way I use the BBQ - for the better. For example: No fear of losing food through the grill. I now have a much larger, more organized, area in which to cook the entire meal. Other grill plates used too much available grill area for a smaller amount of usable cooking area. Using the mats affords me real heat zone control on a 30 x 24 grill area. I longer have a problem with hot zones. Better, more effective basting - on both meat and vegetables. Vegetables do not dry out. REAL slow cooking - WITH grill marks Piece of cake to clean Uses up a lot less storage area in the kitchen Has not distorted, warped, or imparted any flavors to foods. Lastly - I recommend using the OXO high temp spatulas and tongs on the mats. Very inexpensive, really do the job, easy to get.

These work really well - on my home BBQ, and over open fire pit when camping. They are thin and thus a little fragile: my camping grate left some kinks, so be careful and was after every use carefully. I use these all the time for BBQ salmon with great results - nothing falls apart!
