For those who know me, first of all, no my new BBQ buddy is not my granddaughter. But rather a product that I came upon when we were traveling up in Canada last summer. Along with our travel buddies we had a down day because of some rainy days while we were visiting in Kelowna, BC located in the Okanagan Valley Area. It is a wonderful town and this was our 2nd time in this area.
So on this rainy day we decided to do some shopping at their mall. We came upon this cooking store and I discovered this product called "Cookina Grill Mat". This product is 100% non-stick material and is PFOA Free.
I decided to take a try with this product and I am so glad that I did. It goes on top of your grill and you do get all of the grill marks with your fish, meats and vegetables. And the best thing is no flare up and/or sticking of your foods to your grill.
Let me tell you I have grilled, steaks, tri-tip, pork loins, fish, veggies, hot dogs and hamburgers. Everything worked great except I was a little disappointed in how the burgers came out. Since your food is on top of this sheet, the juices stay and collect and I found that with the juiciness of the burgers it was almost like they were steaming instead of grilling on the BBQ.
The clean-up is just as easy as they state in their promo. You just wait until it cools down and wash everything off with soap and water, no harsh products used and/or needed at all.
You do have to remember not to get your grill hotter than 500 degrees.
In fact I love this product so much, I ordered and bought one for each of our kids and another one for me. Additionally, I've since found out they also have a similar product that can be used for the oven and baking as well.
Here's a little clip explaining the product and the next time I grill I'll take a couple of my pictures and post them here. http://cookina.co/store/ca/index.php?id_product=8&controller=product&id_lang=1
