      the one you've linked to is slight larger 485x400 mm vs 330x400mm
      otherwise I'd say they are the same?

    Serious question - what's the benefit of this over alfoil? Is it simply the reusability?

    • +1

      And I wonder what sort of material is it, will that emit harmful stuff when heat?

      • "Made from the highest quality PTFE (PFOA-free) materials…"

        Polytetrafluoroethylene is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that has numerous applications. The commonly known brand name… is Teflon

        In theory under 300°c it's stable.

        • The flames from my BBQ exceeds 300 ºC for sure.

            @Sleepycat3: Probably. Although if you're chargrilling, then you wouldn't use this, since you can't chargrill. It's really intended for flat plate cooking, not grilling.

      • The sheet itself is made from fibreglass, and it’s coated in what is essentially Teflon. Yes, it will emit harmful fumes when heated excessively, however considering these things are mostly used outside, that’s probably not too much of a worry.

    • +1

      Yes, thinking the same thing. What's the point? I won't be reusing it if it is for a bbq and al foil does the job just fine

      • One benefit of this product is that it can be re-used. At this price, it is a bargain.

    • +2

      I use these all the time - apart from saving on alfoil the other big advantages are being able to fold it without it tearing as alfoil would do easily in the same use.

      They're also very slippery so make fantastic replacement for greased paper, for baking things that stick a lot, or moulding dough. It's great for people who like to experiment with cooking and food.

    Is this kind of thing just good on a hot plate not for a grill right? I cant have direct flame going under this sheet, correct?

    • +2

      I have used this over a weber gas grill. makes for easy cleanup and very easy to clean.

      • +1

        So, you meant it is OK to have direct flame underneath, right?

        • +2

          I've used this on a Weber gas grill plate. No problems.

    Seems like a good way to put more plastic back into the environment…

    • +2

      My understanding is the product is the same material as used on non-stick pans, and can be re-used extensively.

      Probably much better for the environment than using Aluminium Foil.

    • Not really, it's reusable.

      Where as Aluminium, which (currently) requires coking coal & accounts for about 24% of direct manufacturing CO2 emissions in Aust. Then people use aluminium foil & then discard it. It's probably much much much worse for the environment over all then single use plastics when you consider that it needs to be mined, refind & disposed.

      • I don't use aluminium foil but I have used this stuff and yes, it is reusable but you have to chuck it out after a few months because it loses its non-stick coating and can be a bugger to clean. A dash of olive or rice bran oil on a cast iron hotplate works just fine for me.

        • Oh mine is about 7yo, but I lightly spray oil on it, which probably helped.

  • +2

    Great stuff this is. Always use it on the Weber and the Web is still in pristine condition after all this many years gone by.

  • +5

    These are great for public bbq's. You don't need to clean too much of the last person's crap off

    • You just sold me an idea of why I need one, thanks !!! :)

    • +1

      Baking paper also works well for this purpose and is biodegradable…remember if you use it on a public BBQ you have to take it home to clean and that is a hassle.

      • Possibly but cooking on a plate where birds or possums can sh|t is not the ideal too.

  • They also have a higher thermal mass than foil despite conducting heat very well. An example is using them on a fire box when in a cabin that has no cooking facilities - we put bread on it then folded it over - toasted quick!

  • For those using it on grills… does the flavour of grilling get imparted to the steaks? I can’t see that happening if all you are doing is covering it and then cooking on top, seems like cooking on the stove top with a frypan then.

    • +1

      seems like cooking on the stove top with a frypan then.

      Yep that's what happens (your steak will stew). This is meant for flat plates, to save you cleaning up afterwards. That's all.

      IMHO for grills you heat, you cook, you use a wire brush to give a quick clean afterwards. The baked on stuff is next steak's flavour.

    • If the fat doesn't leak on the fire you have no flavour from the grill. This is for avoiding cleaning the plate.

    These things have their uses, but I’m surprised at the people who are using them on bbqs with grates.

    One of the best things about bbqs is that they can generate flavours that you don’t really get with other cooking methods. A piece of meat on a bbq will drip juices through the grate down onto the coals of a charcoal bbq or the flame shield of gas bbq. Those juices vapourise and get deposited onto the surface of the meat. Many people like how this tastes. If you’re putting these hotplate liners onto a bbq grate, you’ve turned your bbq into a large, worse version of a Teflon pan. I say worse because these liners are made of fibreglass, which is an insulator, not a conductor. You will get inferior browning, and less radiant and convection heat. Only the surface directly in contact with the liner will get significant heat, you’ll struggle to cook larger, less flat foods like a spatchcock chicken for example.

    Cast iron and carbon steel hotplates provide excellent browning and emit plenty of radiant heat, I usually don’t use liners on those surfaces either. I mainly use them on stainless steel hotplates, or as drip tray liners. I might also use them If food is sticking badly to a poorly seasoned cast iron or carbon steel hotplate.

    • These things have their uses

      What would you say are the uses?

      • Public BBQ's & cooking messy stuff on flat plates (onions, leaking/exploding/fatty snags, homemade wet marinaded chicken (cool it on this for a bit, them xfer over to finish on the grill when it's not dripping) .

    • 100% agree. I don't see the point of using these on a home BBQ. They are good for those public stainless steel BBQs but then you still have to take them home to clean them. At some point you have to replace them and they are not biodegradable. Not worth the hassle IMHO.

  • I've got a weber baby q and they only come in grill plates, no hotplates unless you fork out extra cash. So this would be good if you want to cook eggs on it.

    • Lol I cooked eggs on my Weber Q grills by using an onion ring to hold it in… still messy but works if you are wanting eggs. Best to use the flat pan or this sheet.

      • Onion ring! that's genius
