This almost looks worth gambling $10 on.  Anyone use one of these?

    Never used one, but this looks like one of those nail looking for a hammer type products.  What do you see yourself cooking that would benefit from one of these?

    I have a fine-wire basket that I use for small shrimp, stringbeans, mushrooms, etc that I'd use a lot more often if it weren't such a pain to clean (doesn't fit in the sink, have to scrub both directions both inside/out, etc.  This thing looks like it'd take 20 seconds, tops, to clean.  
    And, yeah, broiling an egg on my Egg would be cool, too!  Where's your Accessorize gene?  :tongue:

    That’s where I use a good old fashioned griddle set over the fire.  B)

    Looks like a frogmat, but less expensive. I have a couple of frogmats, and they’re great. 

    But that website looks goofy. I’d be wary about giving them my credit card info.

    Thanks @loco_engr and @caliking for the tip, I hadn't heard of "Frog Mats" before.  Amazoid doesn't carry them but did have other solutions that were inexpensive, will be springing for one.

    I have a friend who uses the fine mesh grill mats like this one for camping. It works fine but I am not sure it would be any different than a sheet of foil on the grill.

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    The mats are mesh, so I was assuming the smoke would get through, better than on foil.  I could be wrong (I thought I was, once before, but I was mistaken  =) ).  
    Mine should be here next week, and it's the ease of cleaning I'm anxious about.  I'll report back.
