Grill Grates
Been loving that infra-red cooking that the Big Easy Electric Smoker Roaster Grill does so much that decided to try it out on the grill itself. There is a company that sells these things that go over top of your existing grill that turns any grill into an infra-red grill. They’re called Grill Grates.
The concept is basically that the grates heat up and transfer the heat using infra-red. This is supposed to cook more evenly and eliminate flare ups. I measured my grill, did the math (wrong), and ordered five of them. They’re basically 5 inches wide and come in a 2 panel starter pack and one panel add on’s. Since my grill is about 30 inches wide, I needed the starter pack (5+5) plus three of the add on’s (5+5+5). Right? 5+5+5+5+5=30 doesn’t it? No, it certainly does not. (sigh). But the good news is, you can use them even if they don’t fit. But I still want one more.
Here’s the grill before:
And after:
And here’s after I put some vegetable oil on them with a washcloth and turned the grill on high for about 20 minutes to season them a bit:
I’ll be sure to post once I’ve cooked something other than vegetable oil on them.
