Commercial Grill Grates

Gas grill grates are a necessary piece of any grilling operation, as they supply a solid surface for cooking food on, and prevent it from falling through. These are the common essential components that serve as common catering equipment. There are two main varieties of grill grates used in catering equipment: stainless steel and cast iron. The preferred stainless steel grates are strong and rust-resistant, easy to clean and maintain. But they're also lighter than cast iron grates, making it easier to handle and move. Cast iron grates are heavier, more durable, and perfect for high-temperature cooking, on the other hand. Cast iron retains heat very well, and cooks food evenly, leaving grill marks on food. But cast iron needs to be cleaned and seasoned regularly, to prevent rust and maintain its nonstick qualities. Consider replacing gas grill grates when they start to wear or present damage to the grilling experience as a whole.
