Hi,

I enjoy BBQ but hate to clean the grill. Today, I found this
"disposable aliuminum grill liner" in HomeDepot. Anyone used it? Is
aliuminum safe to cook food at high temperature? On the back side of
the product it saids it should not be used at temperature higher than
500.

Thanks,

The 500 degree limit is a killer for me. I like to grill steaks and burgers
as hot as I can. It may be OK for some other uses.

Cleaning the grill is one of the easiest things on earth. You
turn on the heat, whether is be gas, electric, or charcoal fired
and let the grates heat up for 5-10 minutes. Then you take a
wire grill brush to them. All done.

They do not have to be very clean. The more gunk you leave on
them, the more flavor you get in the end product. It's all
sanitized by the heat. Some people don'r even use the brush -
just heat it up and burn the gunk black and it's ready to go.

This should be int he FAQ if it's not already.

I agree.... why people want everthing looking like it just came out of
the box is beyond me.

I think its all of the cutesy commercial cleaner marketing about
everything needing to be sparkling clean and "germ free".

I know people who literally do minimal cooking because of the fear of
getting a drop of something on the stove or "dirtying" the grill.

Quite so.

Don't think so. Haven't seen anything about this under the "Distilled Wisdom
on Equipment" section which covers this sort of thing. Maybe we should ask
Victor to add something in there?

That was the way our kitchen was when we bought the house several years ago.
I surely made short-work of that. It doesn't take long if one cooks a lot
to reduce a kitchen to muck, even if one has fairly decent clean-up habits.
First there was the formica burn on the counter tops, then the burn on the
vinyl floor where I dropped a burning wok (in a panic) to the floor; the
stove that I could never really get clean quickly enough before starting the
next meal; The dishwasher gets used sometimes twice a day --

I will 'not' be a slave to cleaning the spots off my stainless steel,and the
black cook top!

Those pans go at the very bottom of the grill, under the heat source,
it doesn't get nearly as hot there as at the upper levels. But I
haven't tried them, it's no big deal to scrape out the built up grease
with a putty knife, not all of it makes it's way to the grease
collector. It doesn't need to be brand new clean but it's a good idea
to scrap out the majority of build up once or twice a season to
prevent grill fires plus that grease goes rancid and does impart a
nasty odor to whatever is cooked. Cleaning the grates is an entirely
different issue (heat and wire brush is usually enough) but it's wise
to keep the fire box reasonably clean too, and most people neglect
that. .. I suppose is why they came up with those liner pans.

Yeah, the lovely smoke flavor imparted by rancid grease.

Some people can always rationalize their filthy living habits, one can

I have used them. They are ok. You do need to oil them and they will
blow off in a light breeze. Well, it's always windy where I live so you
have to be quick getting the food on it.

We don't do the searing over 500 degree heat on our grill so I can't say
what might happen to them at that high temp.

I wouldn't be ashamed to. :-)
But it'd be inappropriate for a cooking list...

except, hm, what is the "end product" of all the food we eat?
Would that make it on topic?

Yeah, the lovely smoke flavor imparted by rancid grease.

Do you just make stuff up? The slick black coating is because of
polymerization and is the original non-stick coating and is the very
same effect you achieve when seasoning a cast iron frying pan.

He uses non-stick or stainless.

As for me, my grills are pre-coated and I soak them after grilling.
Personal preference. I don't like cruddy grills.

They are oil brushed prior to putting stuff on them.

Actually I have... not recently, but like less than three years ago.
My loos are prepared for white glove inspection anytime. I even have
those solid plastic terlit seats, about once a month I remove them so
I can even sanitize the space under the bolts, I hand scrub them with
lavender scented Fabuloso:

You idiot, there's much more to cleaning a grill than the grates...
those liners this thread is about pertains to lining the bottom of the
grill, has nothing whatsoever to do with grates, in fact in my
previous post I concurred how the grates just need heating and wire
bushing. It's not necessary to make any portion of a grill like brand
new but it's a good idea to scrape away the built up crud. Try to
keep up.

I never said I don't use cast iron cookware because of the seasoning.
And I do not use non-stick coated, I don't own any... I use carbon
steel fry pans, they're seasoned exactly the same as cast iron, but
only a roid-rage idiot would rather risk a hernia pumping cast iron..
I'm just not into antique cookware... using cast iron cookware is
tantamount to using smoke signals to communicate. I do use nonstick
bakeware however, I have an extensive collection of Nordicware and
Chicago Metallic. I do own a cast iron gingerbread house baking mold,
and it does have a nonstick coating.
