(Food-Beverage-News.Com, June 23, 2015 ) Beaverton, Oregon -- Grill mats do not look like much, just a big rectangle of black PTFE fabric, but they are like nonstick pans that can be rolled up – and can even cut into different sizes (more on that later). They should be treated with the same care as expensive Teflon™ pans. More than that, these grill mats definitely have some advantages over traditional nonstick cookware in that both sides are equally usable — and there's the thing about rolling them up, too.
All non-stick products on the market today are made from some form of polytetrafluoroethylene, which is also called PTFE, and consequently all nonstick cookware, Gorgrilla grill mats included, follow the same rules as that of chemistry. Mats made from PTFE fabric can provide a reliable and safe nonstick cookware solution, provided that instructions are followed: this includes using grilling mats only at temperatures below 500 degrees Fahrenheit. This is not a rule from the producers, it comes from the FDA.
The maximum temperature for using grill mats is 500?F, in compliance with nonstick grill mats heated grill FDA Regulation (EC) No.1935/2004 and FDA Regulation (EC) No. 2023/2006.
Some ads claim that the "revolutionary new military or industrial grade mats usable up to 600?F. What's the deal with those? Are they false? Yes, they are. But that doesn't matter because best available grill mats, Gorgrilla's for example, can be readily accessible. Rest be assured that if it were very much possible to produce grilling mats that could withstand higher temperatures, the Gorgrilla would have made one.
