The CampGrate is a versatile, go-anywhere GrillGrate. Use it over open fire pits, on top of Camp Grills and tripods, or as a universal GrillGrate on top of grills at campsites, rental/vacation homes, and more. Like all GrillGrates, the CampGrate is made of hard anodized aluminum, a highly conductive and naturally nonstick surface that allows for even heating and perfectly seared food every time. How does it work? Raised rails deliver high heat searing and efficiently transfer that heat into the food you’re cooking. The valleys vaporize natural juices, adding moisture and grilled flavor back into anything you cook. As a bonus, you can flip the CampGrate over to use as a defrost plate or even as a flat-top griddle! SAFETY FIRST: CAUTION, HOT GRATE! Do not touch or handle hot grates without heat-resistant gloves or other protective gear. Allow to cool before moving, packing or cleaning. Once in place over a hot fire or grill, do not attempt to move. Remove from heat carefully to allow it to cool off faster. DO NOT Immerse Hot CampGrate into water, as it may cause warping. USE & CARE Preheat CampGrate for 10-15 minutes before cooking. During the first few uses, season cooking rails by rubbing a thick slice of Onion up and down hot GrillGrates. The raised rails will darken with a patina that is rock solid to 1000F. This helps with non-stick properties and cleaning. Use GLOVES, Mitts, Tongs or Fork to protect your hands. Also use a neutral, high smoke-point oil such as Canola or Avocado Oil to season new grates. We don’t suggest Olive Oil, as it has a low smoke point and will become sticky. Grill on both sides of the CampGrate. It’s 2 surfaces in one.
