The grill grate, the center piece on every grill. We all know that the heart of every grill is the burner or burners however the centerpiece of the grill is the grill grate. Its the awesome thing that literally cooks our food. If you want to have a very good and tasty meal, you should take care as mush as possible of your grill grate.
Has it ever crossed your mind, that giving a full clean up to your grill grate, instead of the measly scrub once in a while, may give the food you cook on it, a different taste, a better taste.
The better you clean and maintain your grill grate the better the food will taste, and I`m going to tell you why. All that fat from those juicy steaks or marinated chops gets stuck and chard on your grill grate. As it starts to pile up (even if you scrub it off, there will always remain some), every time you heat up all the smell and taste of old chard fat get in the new food.
There you have it a simple and short explanation, why your food might taste a little bad after you cook it on you grill grate. Washing it properly once in a while can remove all those particles and in the case you have a stainless steel grate you might end up seeing that shine again.
We all know that the cast iron grill grate is one of the best grill grate available nowadays, because the cast iron can dissipates the heat in an even manner all around the cooking surface. One of the leading companies that handle the manufacturing of the cast iron grill grate is the Lodge Cast Iron, which is situate in South Pittsburgh.
The cast iron grill grate is designed in such a manner that is slowly start to heat up, in order for it to give you the ability of having a very consistent cooking surface and temperature. You can purchase one of their cast iron grill grate at a very reasonable price. You can purchase it pre-seasoned or unseasoned. Personally I would go with the pre-seasoned grill grate, because you can start using, immediately after you pull it out from the box and you installed it. I don`t have to spend the extra time to season it.
If you are a Weber fan like me you will be able to purchase a cast iron grill grate that can be fitted on several models(they have a standard for their grill grate, and it seems they apply the same standard to different grill models, which is pretty good for me, because I have about five Weber grills, and I can buy the grill grate at wholesale price. So in one way I`m saving money. You will be very glad to find that Weber makes state of the art top quality barbecue grills that have a grill grate that is porcelain coated and made out of cast iron.
