Apologies here, too. No way I wished to imply that some are serving poison.

It is certainly true that judges only get one bite, whereas guests tend to eat the whole serving - and that seasonings therefore tend to be radically different for each type of cooking. It isn't just steak and BBQ contests, either. Few people would want to down a full bowl of contest-winning chili!

There are several brands of meat tenderizers out there for general use. Most of them use a papaya derivative, I think, and are probably safe for full-meal use, but perhaps only occasionally. I personally don't use them, but will not cast aspersions on those who choose to. Especially if the meat they bought turns out to be a bit chewy!

Grill on, friends. My Grill Grates are already enroute. (Ordered Saturday, shipped this morning. That's great - or GRATE - service!)

Some use a Jaccard tenderizer on their steaks.

Got my Grill Grates. They turned out to be a wee fraction too long for my grill, but a few minutes with a chop saw fixed that. I seasoned mine with an onion, as recommended, and it made an immediate and obvious color change on the tops of the ribs. They went from gray to black. Next up, some Omaha steaks - which my daughter ordered for me as a Dad's Day gift. They should arrive Tuesday.

Anyway, the Grill Grates are clearly superior quality, and I could have ordered them a quarter-inch shorter (or measured better!) but so far I'm absolutely delighted.

Didn't wait for the steaks to arrive. Threw a big link of chicken sausage on the Grill Grates.

It is not often that a product lives up to its advertising hype, and the Grill Grates didn't.

They exceeded them! These grates are simply awesome. Perfect sear marks, meat cooked through but no charring, no flareups, no sticking, just perfect grilling.

BEST grill money I've ever spent.

Thanks for the report Rocky, you are one of the guys here that I trust.

Brother in Law loves to barbecue, this looks like a good birthday present!

I'm just curious if you bought the cleaning brush that cleans between the grates? If you didn't I highly recommend it. After not much time stuff will start to build up and it can impart an off taste to what you're grilling. I tried a couple of different grill brushes before I broke down and bout the one made for them. It is completely worth the price IMO.
Grill Grate Brush.


Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.

I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

I have not - yet. I think I'll see how the "fingered" spatula works first but I'm not averse to getting the special brush.

it would be an unfair advantage if you had a grill grate

I continue to be impressed with the Grill Grates. Did salmon fillets and portobello 'shrooms last night. Grates were uniformly hot front to back (as opposed to the cold area I always had with the OEM grates.) Hood temp was 400° and my IR thermometer said the grates were 625° to 575° Started the salmon flesh side down - something I had never dared to do before. Sizzle for two minutes, turn 45° for two more minutes. Then, THE test: slid the fingered spatula underneath, and both fillets flipped with NO burned edges, no sticking, and no lost meat. WOW! Two more minutes (total six) and they were cooked through and perfect. The mushrooms also came out perfect, cooked through with no burned edges and once again perfect grill marks.

Wife said both were the best ever off the grill.

A bit late for that, ya know.

But I just got an email saying my Dad's Day gift will be from Oh my jaw Steaks. I promise to take a few pics of the result.
