Cookina Reusable Grilling Sheet – Review

Cookina Grilling Season Has Begun!

It’s that time of year again!  Grilling season!  Who’s with me in saying it’s the BEST season ever!!!???!!!  We love grilling out.  We could do it every day of the week if time allowed, but sadly we usually only really grill out on the weekends and it’s usually a big ordeal.  First, my husband has to clean the grates on the grill and now with the shards of metal scares in your food with using wired brushes, grilling had started to freak me out a little bit, not going to lie.  When I learned of the Cookina Reusable Grilling Sheet ($12.99), I had to jump on the opportunity to test it out.

Before going into details, let me just say that I’ll be purchasing this for everyone in my family for either their birthday or Fathers Day because yes, it is that amazing!!!  Here’s the deal….

First I was a bit scared about placing something on my grill without knowing what it would do but I read the package directions (very carefully I might add) and learned that it can be used on a grill up to 500 degrees.  It should not be above 500 degrees so make sure you take note of that!  I washed off the reusable grill sheet prior to cooking using just soap and water.  Once it was initially cleaned, I placed it on the grates of my grill after it had pre-heated a little bit.  I don’t know if it matters when you place it on the grill, but because of timing and my lack of it, he pre-heated while I cleaned it off and it seemed to be ok. Once the grill was ready to go, so were my steaks… (DELISH…., I mean, just look at those bad boys!).

My husband was skeptical.  He likes that “grilled” look that you get from the flames and food showing lines.  He went along with it and let it all play out.  We had enough room on the Cookina Reusable Grilling Sheet for 6 nice size steaks.  We let the grill do its thang and patiently waited for our steaks to cook.  I must add that we didn’t spray or use anything to prevent sticking.  It’s made that way…no sticking…no mess!!!   The Cookina is 100% non-stick PTFE (PFOA free) coated non-stick fabric!  If you take a quick look at the video on their website, you can make EGGS…who knew, on the GRILL!!!  Insane and I must try it! Anywho….

When it was time to flip…that’s when my husband and I let out a big sigh!  What a relief to see the steaks with fancy grill marks on them!  Check them out….

In my excitement and lack of patience, I neglected to get the ever loving “after” photo of our food, but I can assure you it was even better tasting than it looked.  I mean, it was AMAZING!!!  It still had the grill marks, it still had the same juicy flavors and it had a lot less MESS on the grill which my husband and I loved!  When it came time to clean up the Cookina Reusable Grilling Sheet, all I had to do was use the little scrubby thing that came with it and wash it off with soap and water.  It was super easy to clean despite the grease residue that the grill left on it.  When it was dry, I just rolled it up and secured it using the little metal ring and put it in my cabinet for later use.

I have since used it three more times and each time, it cooked our dinners perfectly!  {We had burgers, chicken and pork chops using our new Cookina Reusable Grilling Sheet.}  Again, as I stated above, all the grillers in the family will be getting their own!  Dad, you’ll be tossing out all that aluminum foil you’ve been using!!  Yes, it’s that good!  I also received the Cookina Oven Protector and the Reusable Cooking Baking Sheet to test out though I wanted to get this review shared because with Fathers Day right around the corner, I want to make sure you get your husband and/or dad…or guy in your life one of these FABULOUS Cookina Reusable Grilling Sheets!
