Tales from a novice griller
I am not a big outdoor grill fanatic. I have cooked on my grill only occasionally. I love the taste of grilled foods, but the hassle and variable results made it more of a chore than a fun experience. I have a Kenmore propane grill with a grate of about 22"x19". My original grill grates, even thought they were supposedly ceramic, had begun to rust and disintegrate. When I used them, there could be the occasional piece of metal in the steak or burger. Not tasty. To stop this I would use a separate perforated grill pan to put the meat on. This kept the metal flakes away, but the flare-ups continued and the whole experience wasn't really satisfactory.I decided to purchase the 4-grate set to see if it did work. I could always return it if not satisfied. Checking the internet, I found some sites which talked about this product and how to use it. Seemed like a good thing to try. The 4-grate set fit nicely with some room on all sides, but not enough to fit a 5th grate.My first effort was with some strip steaks. My second with lean hamburgers. What I found was that the grill grates definitely made a big difference. The meat cooked faster. There were no flare-ups. Since I still have not gotten used to the cook speed, I over-cooked both tries. That is, they came out well-done rather than medium (pink middle) But the taste, texture and moistness were really great. Even being cooked brown all the way through, they were moist and had excellent flavor.I have a ways to go to become really good at using them. I need to learn how to get them medium for me and well done for my wife. But until then, I can still really enjoy the results.I would recommend these grates to anyone who wants a great grate. It will take a little while to get used to them. They get really hot and cook faster than you may be used to if you just grill on the regular grates directly above the flame. The normal flare-ups that tend to burn your meat don't occur with these. I will never be a pro at this, but I can sure make my steaks and burgers better than before getting the grill grates.

Awesome Investment
Ok so my original OEM grill grates needed replaced and I was researching option to either A: replace the entire grill or B: repair and upgrade my existing grill. My grill was in decent shape overall, mainly the porcelain coated cast iron grated started to rust and disintegrate in a few areas. So I decided I could probably squeeze another grilling season or two by getting new grates and put off buying another grill untill next season or so. Anyways, I stumbled across these grillgrates on Amazon, and was pleased to see all the positive reviews on them. I took a chance and figured what the heck plus grillgrates offer a guarantee on their product even if you had used them. I ordered them online here on Amazon, and got them the next day within 24hours thanks Amazon!!! I tried them out the same day, I seasoned them according to the instructions per the grillgrates manual that came with them. My first experience with the grates were fresh salmon asparagus....well grillgrates have exceeded my expectations by far. The salmon came out nice and flaky with a tender inside and nice seared grill marks on the outside. The asparagus came out tasty as well, still nice and crisp but well roasted with an awesome grilled flavor. Next day I tried skinless chicken breasts to julienne to make chicken soft tacos. I always struggled making any kind of chicken on the grill, either burning it or under cooking it but grillgrates made it to perfection seriously these make grilling sooooo simple and consistent. I just finished up today by grilling a up some rib-eye steak to medium rare and it came out just as good if not better than any steakhouse I ate at. The combination of the convection and raised rail grates literally sear in the juices and flavor without drying out the meat like conventional grates/grills. Many grills lose their heat intensity when you raise the grill hood to check on things, the aluminum construction counters that and quickly recovers cooking temps much much quicker than traditional stainless or cast iron grates thus keeping a nice even controllable heat. This product does what it says, if you are thinking about this just get it you'll love it trust me its money well spent.

Makes an old grill better than new!
These are incredible. I have a cheap Chinese Value Home Center grill that's about 4 years old now. It sees service all year round including in our unpredictable Buffalo winters (just brush the snow if before lighting!). The grates that came with the grill were enameled cast iron and have completely worn out. I've been battling the rust for over a year, attempting to reseason... But it's a lost cause.Researching the various options it was clear there was no cheap way to a new cooking surface of any quality. I was nearly set on ordering stainless steel when I came across these on a Google search. I liked the science behind it, I trust aluminum, and really loved the idea that it could increase the heat of my pathetic grill. I need to buy something, went with my gut on this one.I measured the grill and found they offered my grill depth as a standard size and that 5 plates would fill the surface perfectly. Got them in the mail and immediately thawed shine mahi mahi to really give it a try. These really got my grill 200+ degrees (F) hotter then it has ever gotten on the surface and the sizzle I heard when the fish hit the grates was something I have never heard on the original grates. I've used it several times success and these things are great.Only problem I've had with them is that I was dyslexic when ordering and ordered 4 plates 4 inches to short, the single plate I ordered was perfect. So now I have a hold at the back of the grill I'm going to need to fill to keep the heat in, but that was my fault not theirs.Great product.On a side note, I can't wait to take these camping to cover the gross rust grill over the fire to get some serious cooking dinner this summer at the beach!
