why uses non stick grill mat to prevent from sticking

I've been grilling since before I could drive, and consider myself an amateur 'grill master'. I can test meat temperature by feel, and dial in a perfect done-ness to thin cross-cut shortribs as easily as a 2" bone-in ribeye. I can flip fish without breaking and routinely grill vegetables and fruit for sides and desert right next to piles of meat. I must say, I haven't yet tried non stick grill mat on the grill yet, but after using it the first time this weekend I'm excited to give it a go!

I bought YRYM HT miracle BBQ grill mats instead for use in my new RV. Being one who loves outdoor adrenaline activities (mountain biking and rock climbing, among other things) and living in Colorado, I recently had a 4x4 van converted to an adventure RV, and since I boondock (read: no hookups) everywhere I go, being efficient was critical. So I ditched the propane and went totally diesel and solar for all my heating and power needs, including a Webasto X100 cooktop for a stove. During a hunt for the perfect stove I ran across a video ad from a small RV company Down Under who exclusively uses these diesel stoves. It looks like a typical glass-top electric stove, but instead has a ceramic element that gets heated with a diesel burner and quickly gets up to extremely hot temperatures. This company gave a professional chef an RV for a week and asked him to cook whatever he liked, and to use the stove in a number of ways. He demonstrated using this stove as a grill by throwing a non stick grill mat on it, grilling up burgers on it while toasting the buns next to the burgers just as you would on a grill. He advised getting a thick, quality non stick grill mat due to the temps this stove was capable of putting out.

After reading reviews complaining about maximum temperatures of other miracle BBQ grill mats as low as 450 deg F, and melting holes in them after a few uses, we ordered a YRYM HT Non Stick Grill Mat and headed out for a weekend in the woods, and put the mat through its paces. We seared meat on it, made quesadillas, toasted bread and tortillas while making chili--no matter what we used it for, it was absolutely fantastic. The mat took high temps really well, no smoking, scorching or melting. We never needed to oil the mat, it was completely nonstick regardless of what we cooked on it. It also cooled down extremely fast, no worries about it damaging anything in our small RV after cooking. And cleanup? I don't know that we even had to wash it, as food came off so easily and left no trace (we did anyway though, better safe than sorry!!)

Couldn't be happier with it, I'm now excited to try it out on my Weber Genesis E-330 which puts out a TON of heat. I have zero worries about melting after putting it directly on the stove glass top in the RV. I'm also excited to make pizza on it in the RV; I'm pretty sure if I can come up with a good cover, it will get the dough grill-perfect and make really tasty pizza while camping! Well done, Nickle's Arcade!
