Yes! We have had one for years cooks everything well and keeps the plate clean, just wash in hot soapy water.

Does the food get the same appearance and taste as if it was cooked off the cast iron? I used baking paper the other night as some rodent or large insect keeps pooping on our BBQ and its gross! Iended up burning my hand as it was windy and the paper with hot juices whipped up and got me when i took the food off.

I was suspicious about them for ages lol however have been using them for a few years now and yip, food is like it came off the plate.

I found that it blew around in the wind.

Just paint a little oil on the plate first and the silicon liners stick nicely to the plate. They peel off afterwards and are a doddle to wash in hot soapy water.
Brilliant for any meats that may have a sticky or gooey marinade or even fish, so that it doesn't taint.

Like my dad's undies. Must have been a tornado to blow the liner off the plate with meat on it lol. and if it was that windy it would have been hard to get the plate hot enough to cook anyway?

Be really careful using them if it is windy. my partner received burns from one when it blew off bbq - not good, the hot oils that collect on them make them stick.

I use them on my electric fry pan also. They are great.

I have seen them for sale in Mitre 10 Mega and even the cheap $2-type shops have them.

Cough cough BULLSHIT! Might as well cook in inside in a non stick pan.

Wow, why so angry?
I disagree.
Perhaps you went cheap and it stewed your meat.

That's a positive comment! (not) What is your opinion on BBQ hot plate liners? Have you ever used one & how did you find it?

I tried a new one tonight. It was windy, so having learnt my lesson with baking paper and a burn that is still with me, I placed something heavy( the utensil that lifts the hot plate) on one side of mine, as when you take all the meat off, it would blow away before you can deal with it splattering hot fats everywhere.( a small breeze does it actually. ) Quite happy with the result.

I would like to know how safe the plastic is though. I'm assuming it's not going to poison us all.

Being somewhat of a bbq expert, I ate off one once and vowed never too again, solely for lazy buggers who cant prep their cast iron surface, just don't bother and cook inside.
So you tried something once and that's it. one might think you give up too easily. As for calling those that use them lazy buggers well, shows what you (don't) know. You so sound like my dear old father. Seriousl- y tho, there are different types; I have had different experiences with different sorts, some are far better than others.

Yep, mr/ms expert BBQ master . I can sort of understand your stance . bet you are a joy to live with, being so good at BBQs'n all that ;o) OMG, extrapolate that "try it once, don't like it, so never try again rationale' a little . the mind boggles (was your first sexual experience wonderful)? *sniggers*

I humbly apologise to those sensitive souls, who may be offended by my mention of the 's' word, in recipes . but sometimes ya just have to put up comparisons . seasons greetings.
