If This is what you are talking about then I have used them for several years,with great results.

Great for vegies and anything that has a marinade or sauce on it. It keeps the juices in and it will also give great grill marks too.

I do everything from chicken to burgers and steaks everything comes out juicy. And no flair ups.Cleans up easy too.

My concern is, this type of mat isn't supposed to be exposed to heat that's too high, and with gas flames or hot coals directly beneath the mat the material can partly break down and put chemicals into your food.

If it works anything like the "greenie" frying pay, it's probably a pretty good item. We were skeptical of the "greenie" frying pan, but bought one, and it is by far the best pan we've ever had, and it's held up over time too.

Anyway, the mat: Click here. The video is interesting ..."As seen on TV!" Sometimes these things really do work as advertised, sometimes they do not. I bet this is one that will work as advertised!

Double ditto. Aluminum foil works better as you can custom shape it to hold juices. Then you can just toss it in the trash.

Yea, I posted about these mats a couple years ago on this forum and was pretty well told I was full of******and they wouldn't work.

That's fine then and now.

I have been using them at home and while traveling and getting very satisfactory results.

You really can't take for gospel anything on a forum like this. Get the product,
use it and make up your own mind. Some things work for some people and not for others.

Just my opinion.

Check Amazon, You can buy them a lot cheaper than 2 for $20.00

I bought them at the Mother Earth News Fair where a man was demonstrating them and they actually do work as advertised. KDKA-TV News in Pittsburgh also tested them and gave them a thumbs up. I have only used mine once so far and it worked fine. I have to remember to take it along camping the next time.

I have used them. They do keep the grill clean, and stop flare-ups. However, if you are grilling something with a lot of grease-you have to be careful of puddles of grease. That can cause a big mess when you go to move it. I like that they're reusable, and you're not adding foil to the landfill. Easy to clean, too. You can also use them to line a sheet pan to use in the oven.

When I grill anything I pretty much want a nice set of grill marks on it, especially the vegetables and I want that direct smoky flavor imparted from the open grill.

I dont really have a problem with letting things dry out. I can keep chicken breasts and steaks and and the veggies all tender and juicy and properly cooked...it really has more to do with technique than "accesories". I brine the chicken before marinating it. I rub the steaks with a combination of fresh Crushed Garlic, Olive Oil, Coarse sea salt, Fresh Ground Pepper and COFFEE (finely ground) with just a dash of Worcestershire sauce. And for the vegetables I toss them with Olive Oil, salt, pepper and either White Wine or Balsalmic Vinegar then directly on to the grill.

And if I wanted to cook on the grill as if it were Griddle then I would just get a good cast iron griddle and season it and Viola! Non stick the old fashioned way. Then pancakes and eggs are on the grill.

I also run my grill pretty hot for Steaks (700deg) and I am not sure this product would deal with that.
