BBQ Grill Mat #2 Caring for your BBQ Accessories
http://bit.ly/BBQGrillMat Granted, a BBQ grill mat doesn't look like much, but appearances can be deceiving. It's really like having an expensive non-stick pan that you can roll up. That's essentially what grill mats are, but you can use both sides. The BBQ Grill Mat requires the same care as any other high-end non-stick cooking utensil. A chef's non-stick cookware will still look new after years of use, and your mats will too, if you learn to use them and maintain them correctly. First of all, remove your grill mats from the box and wash them thoroughly in soap and water to remove any manufacturing and packaging residues. Never use abrasives of any kind when cleaning a barbecue grill mat: no scratch pads or powdered cleaners. Use only water, liquid soap and a soft cloth. Rinse them well, and wipe off the excess water with a dry cloth. Allow them to air-dry until all moisture is gone from the surface. You can use your dishwasher if you prefer -- grill mats are dishwasher-safe, but use the top rack only. Keep your BBQ grill mats rolled up and stored in the box they came in, to protect them from scratching. After washing and drying your new BBQ grill mat set, you're almost ready to put them to use. First though, you'll need some specific tools to use the mats effectively and not damage them. The techniques used with bbq grill mat are a bit different than those used when working directly on the grill. Never use metal tools on the mats. Whenever metal comes into contact with PTFE it leaves scratches which will break down the integrity of the cooking surface. The best tools to use are a set of silicone tipped pincers and a hard plastic spatula, so be sure to acquire those, before you start using the mats. You can find them at any store that offers kitchen implements. Have fun with your new Chef Caron BBQ Grill Mat.

BBQ Grill Mat #1 - Choosing Your BBQ Tools
http://bit.ly/BBQGrillMat When it comes to the BBQ Grill Mat "As Seen on TV", the truth can get stretched quite a bit and we'll set the record straight for you in this video. The non-stick BBQ Grill mat has experienced a sizable growth in popularity, and that isn't surprising, considering that it does bring a number of actual conveniences and advantages to the procedure of barbecuing. In essence a BBQ grill mat is a fibreglass fabric, protected by using a non-stick, heat-resistant finish of poly-tetra-fluoro-ethylene, also called PTFE. They were made most famous by the now obsolete Miracle grill mat, which was probably the most popular of the as seen on TV grill mats Essential Fact: The FDA allows PTFE-coated grilling equipment to be used only at temps below 500 degrees Farenheit. So virtually any promotions you spot for "Extra High Temperature Mats" or "Military Grade High Heat Mats" or "Industrial Quality 600 degree Mats" are nothing more than advertising gimmicks. You at no time want to use any non-stick cooking equipment at temperatures higher than 500 degrees. So in theory, every barbecue grill mat is essentially alike -- since they're all produced out of the exact same materials. Practically though, there are definitely several crucial dissimilarities to become knowledgeable about when ordering mats. A BBQ Grill Mat can be found in a number of different densities. We have found the ideal thickness to be .20mm. The mats are still light enough to transmit heat promptly, but sufficiently heavy to be long wearing and durable. Yet another big difference is the amount of PTFE coating on the fiberglass material. This is the most reliable indication of mat quality because it affects the resilience of the mat, the slickness of the surface area and the simplicity of cleaning. Double-coated mats are commonly retailed as "Professional or Commercial Quality Mats," and are actually a more durable mat. http://ift.tt/1rSUQF4 You can recognize mat because the minute squares of fiberglass cloth are almost invisible to either sight or touch. You aren't able to detect them and you can't perceive them on the mat's material. On lesser quality mats you can both feel and see the texture of the underlying fiberglass. An additional factor to consider is the dimension of the BBQ grill mat you are purchasing. With a grill mat, bigger is superior because you can cut them to exactly the specifications you want. They normally are available in a 13 inch width, but the length varies from 13 inches up to about 17 inches, so look for the longest mats. And that's really it. To summarize: any time you are purchasing a BBQ Grill Mat, try to find a large size, double-coated mat at the very least .2 mm thick. And watch out for attention-grabbers that claim to offer extra-heat resistance. This is a four part video series. You can view Part 2, which is about how to are for your BBQ grill mat set once you purchase it, here: http://youtu.be/P97sqBIeY5s AMAZON: http://amzn.to/1D9m1ge FACEBOOK: http://ift.tt/1KijBkn TWITTER: https://twitter.com/ChefCaron PINTEREST: http://ift.tt/1cnkgGB WEBSITE: http://bbqgrillmats.com GOOGLE + http://ift.tt/1E2NW17 http://youtu.be/_JxgHkY8og4 #BBQGrillMat #GrillMatsAsSeenOnTV #ChefCaron
