ManGrate IG-B Grill Enhancement System, One ManGrate

Good bbq accessory

I originally heard about this product from a podcast that I listen to and decided to buy it for my dad for a Christmas gift. I ordered it through the product's website because they were offering a discount at the time. I was a little taken aback by the size, but mainly because in all of the advertisements that I'd heard, I had NEVER heard any mention of needing more than one or of it being small.So for anybody looking for this product, it works great... Just make sure to get a two-pack (I have recently ordered this product from Amazon so that my dad will have a set) or you'll be stuck with just doing hamburgers, because the product is much smaller than I had anticipated. It does work though - My dad uses it to grill with and after a few steak nights, we all agree that it certainly works. The meat is juicier and has a nice look after grilling.And yes, you do need an actual grill to use it, as it is a grill enhancement system... I say this only because on the podcast that I heard the promotion for, several people actually complained that when they put the Mangrate on coals, they didn't feel that it worked right (because, of course, it's meant to lay ON the grill, not to BE a grill).I would highly recommend this product to anyone who likes to grill - just get at least 2 for best results!

I have six of these. They are awesome. They cook, sear, and reduce flare ups really really well. The problem is they need to be seasoned and covered in oil EVERY single time they are used or they will rust and chip away. The cast iron isn't great quality and is sort of porous so this is really important. I thought I was being diligent, but it's just not possible to keep them in the manner that is necessary all the time especially if you grill year round as I do. I can't even quantify how much oil and pam etc... I have used up trying to protect them. Mine are now disintegrating and leaving small bits of burnt iron on my food. I need to throw them out or I'm going to need dental work. No joke. They do come with a "lifetime" warranty, but I have a feeling that I'm not going to be able to use it. I will update this review after I've spoken with Mangrate. For reference, I got the grates in January of 2013 and now a year and a half later they are unusable.

I love grilling with these crates so much and got great results on my meats, that I purchased an additional set. You really need 4 grates, if bigger family or like to cook a lot of meats at a time

On the first use, a row of bristles fell out of the brush used to clean the grates. I love the grates, but wish the brush was built stronger.

These are a must if you spend any significant amount of time grilling. They make easy work of some of the trickier grilling jobs like tuna-steaks, and they make all of your meals look just as good as they taste.

Best grilling tool I have ever seen. Solid heavy duty cast iron material allows the ManGrate to become super hot with even heat. No flare ups, so food doesn't catch fire and food is always moist and juicy !

Bought these as a gift for my friend: he loves them. He uses them on his gas grill and stated that it gives his food a much better taste.
