We\u2019ve got the answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is it safe to use aluminum grill grates?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Yes, aluminium grates are perfectly safe to use. While most grates will be made of cast iron or stainless steel, you\u2019ll still see aluminium being used from time to time. But rest assured, these pose no risk to your health or the taste of your food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What if my grate doesn\u2019t have porcelain enamel coating?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n If the cooking grates of your grill aren\u2019t coated with porcelain-enamel, don\u2019t sweat about it too much. All this means is that your grates will be slightly less non-stick and require a bit more elbow grease to clean and maintain. However, with the proper storage techniques and moisture avoidance, you should be able resist corrosion and rust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What are the benefits of using a gas grill over a charcoal grill?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n There are a few advantages of using a gas grill as opposed to a charcoal grill. Firstly, they fire up immediately. Of course, you do have to wait for the grate to get to the required temperature before you toss your meat on, but this is way shorter than waiting for charcoal to burn down to embers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, they offer way more precision when it comes to temperature control, as you can monitor the internal temperature of the grill and control the size of the flames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, while they don\u2019t have a pile of ash that needs to be removed after every session, they still require thorough cleaning, just of a different kind. Grates need to be thoroughly scrubbed, as do burners and flame tamers to keep them immaculate and rust-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n Shop the Best Grills by Price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Best Grills Under $2000<\/a><\/li> Best Grills Under $1000<\/a><\/li> Best Grills Under $300<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We review 6 of the best grills under $200, including both gas grills and charcoal grills for you to choose from.\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":626,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
