BGE Brand (Porcelain Coated?) Perforated Grid and Perforated Grill Wok

danguba78 · December 2017

I'm thinking about gettting one or both of the BGE branded Perforated grid http://biggreenegg.com/product/pizza-pan/ or grilling wok http://biggreenegg.com/product/perforated-grill-wok/

My use case would be high heat cooks of vegetables and the like. I’ve sacrificed many a shrimp and asparagus spear to the lump gods. Does anyone have any experience with or opinions either product? Also, are these made of the same coated porcelain that the cooking grids used to be made of? (That’s before my time, but from cruising the forum it seems like a lot of people didn’t like that coating.)

Also, happy to hear other suggestions from the group of tools that would work better. I’m looking for maximum grid coverage, easy clean up, and longevity (preferably in that order). This is for a MiniMax.

Phrasing!

I like to cook mixed veggies in a SS basket but did like my coated one as it did not stay coated evenly but it was not the BGE one.

They are a PITA to clean.

I seem to remember I had that wok a long time ago. It gummed up after A few cooks and was pretty much worthless after that. I finally threw it out after a few years of not using it.

We use this and you can get the size to fit your egg. The alum cleans up great in the dishwasher. We also use these. https://www.amazon.com/Pizza-Perforated-12-inch-Aluminum-2-pack/dp/B01LZD38FJ

I have a square perforated grid that I used to cook bulgogi on and it was really tough to clean.

It's been over 3 years and I actually haven't used it since. Perhaps veggies and shrimp wouldn't be as bad.

As for other tools, you mentioned asparagus, and these clips work pretty well:

as for shrimp, I'd probably just use some bamboo skewers.

Edited to add comment on the porcelain coating, I don't think the coating is the same as on the old cooking grids. I could be wrong but they just don't have the same look and sheen. I actually have no problems with my old grids (have them on my Small and XL).
