 <\/p>\n

My husband fancies himself the grill master in our home. It\u2019s a constant battle for control of the grill because, despite his best efforts, he isn\u2019t quite the grill master he thinks he is. One of the biggest issues is that he wants to cook things on the grill other than meat. This almost always results in burnt food and a mess inside the grill.<\/p>\n

The best option to battle the many issues grillers face on the \u2018que is to take advantage of technology advancements that help make grilling easier. One possibility is the readily available grill mat made of fiberglass fabric and a polytetrafluoroethylene coating to keep it nonstick.<\/p>\n

You may be wondering if items made of these materials are safe to cook with, especially at such high temperatures. Beyond this, you\u2019ll need to consider what type of mat to purchase when shopping and what other grilling implements could be used to save your- ahem, husband\u2019s- grilling escapades.<\/p>\n

Benefits of Grill Mats<\/h2>\n

There are many benefits to using grill mats on your grill or smoker. Grill mats are great for those who want easier clean-up. After all, who enjoys cleaning off the grills? I shudder when I think of the time my husband did barbeque chicken and left the grill for me to clean. I know what you\u2019re thinking, and I cleaned it because he said the grilled-on bits were \u201cadded flavor.\u201d I\u2019d rather have a bacteria-free grill, so I spent 45 minutes scrubbing off burnt and hardened barbeque sauce. Using a grill mat fulfills both of our desires (mine is cleanliness, his is laziness). Once the grilling is done and the mat cools, it can be brought inside to be scrubbed down.<\/p>\n
