Best gas grills under 500

Grating material and thickness

Naturally, gratings wear out over time, so the thicker the grating, the longer it will last. A grate with a thicker rod gives off heat better to the ingredients and leaves an original pattern on them. First of all, this, of course, concerns cast iron.

Flame Breakers

Flame spreaders or, as they are also called, aromatic plates are located between the cooking grate and burners. They protect gas burners from fat and juice that drips from the ingredients during cooking, thus preventing them from fouling and flashing flames. They also perform an aromatic function: juice, fat from the ingredients, falling on them, evaporates and saturates the cooking ingredients with its aroma, making them tastier.

The larger the area of ​​the plates, the more evenly they dissipate the heat in the oven. The grill, in which almost the entire area above the burners is covered with aromatic plates, provides a more even heating of the surface for cooking.

The plates are made of solid steel or high quality ceramics. It is very important for the material that it does not corrode, as this grill element is particularly susceptible to wear.
