Weber Sear Grate Cast Iron for Gourmet BBQ System - Retains Heat for Bold Grill Marks and Juicy Steaks – Black (8834)

My husband (who is the one who uses it) absolutely loves this insert into our bbq grill. It's heavy and provides a robust cooking surface and fits perfectly into the lighter outer grill. Very pleased.

A gift for a bbq enthusiast - very well received

Delivers amazing results, my bbq guests loved it. For a good steak this inlay is a must have.

Awesome grate for that seared look steak!

great for steaks

fantastic item... just bought the master touch Weber and purchased this for use with the grill system. I paid £36 for it from an online garden centre and at that price its good value..... at nearer £50 for a ceramic-coated cast iron grill is a total joke so would obviously not pay that.... recommended totally at a sensible price to cook steak and chicken better than most local restaurants......

Ich habe lange hin und her überlegt welchen Grill ich mir zulegen möchte. Nach reichlicher Recherche wurde es dann der GBS Mastertouch 57cm von Weber. Ausschlaggebend war das GBS Grillrost. In einem Fachmarkt kaufte ich ihn mir dann. Als er im Einkaufswagen lag sprach mich ein Kunde der ebenfalls in der Weberabteilung stand an: "Hast du auch das Sear Grate im Wagen?" Nein, leider nicht. Ausverkauft. Wir sprachen kurz darüber und er schwärmte mir vor wie toll das Teil sei und das ich es unbedingt haben müsste. Zuhause schmiss ich gleich das Internet an um es zu bestellen. was für ein Akt. Überall (sogar bei Weber) ausverkauft (stand Ende August). Amazon hatte es auf Lager, allerdings gute 20.- Euro teurer als bei Weber selbst. Generell sind die GBS Einsätze bei Amazon recht teuer. Nunja, ich wollte das Sear Grate unbedingt, somit habe ich es bestellt. Nach kurzer Lieferzeit kam es dann gewohnt schnell. Das Grate ist sehr sehr wertig. Massives Gusseisen. Schön schwere Arbeit. Ich habe mir direkt an dem Tag zwei 400g schwere Entrecotes vom Schlachter geholt. Direkte Hitze, das Grate auflegen und bei geschlossenem Deckel gute 10 Minuten anheizen. Dann das Steak auflegen. Was dann passiert ändert von dem Moment an alles vorher dagewesene in punkto Steak braten. Der Wahnsinn, Steaks zubereiten wie im Restaurant. Das Grillmuster im Fleisch sieht auch einfach klasse aus. Suchtfaktor 100! :-) Auch das reinigen des Grates ist mühelos. Nach dem es erkaltet ist mittels einer groben Spülbürste und heißem Wasser einfach sauber machen. Das Grate passt exakt in ein Waschbecken. Fazit: Für jeden Steak Fan ist das Sear Grate ein muss. Sehr gute Verarbeitung, top Qualität. Mittlerweile habe ich mir alle GBS Einsätze zugelegt weil mich die Artikel komplett überzeugen.

**UPDATE: 7/28/2018 The grate had to be thrown out after 4 years due to the porcelain cracking severely and iron rusting through, but that's after grilling a steak on it almost weekly. I brushed it each use, but never took it off and really cleaned it, and I failed to oil it after the first 6 months. Considering all that, I feel it was well worth the money spent. Had I regularly cleaned and oiled it, I imagine it would be in fine shape. While the stainless insert works, it doesn't sear nearly as well as this cast iron so I'm considering buying a new one. I now reverse sear our steaks, first cooking on my pellet smoker to ~120 degrees, then searing on the Weber to 130 or so. Perfect! Purchased the Weber BBQ System Sear Grate after ordering, but before receiving, the BBQ System Stainless Steel grates for my Genesis E-310. I was replacing the porcelain cast iron cooking grates that came with my Genesis, but lasted only 1.5 years before corroding and rusting out. I could have replaced them under Weber's 5 year warranty on the grates, but wanted to change to stainless steel for durability. However, I liked the heat and cooking of cast iron. When I saw the Gourmet BBQ System it seemed like the possibility of having the best of both worlds. Both the stainless steel primary grates and this cast iron sear grate are excellent so far. While I've only used them a few times the sear grate works exactly as I had hoped - perfectly searing my meats with great grill marks, and honestly, I cook steaks on the sear grate completely. Only other meats do I first sear, then move to another area of the grill onto the stainless steel surface. I did take a little extra step and season the cast iron sear grate in the oven for an hour before first use, and will probably continue to at least oil my meats before grilling, and perhaps add some oil to the sear grate direction (after cooking) at times to try and help fight off any moisture and maximize its longevity. I love the idea of Weber's Gourmet BBQ System, the high-quality stainless steel main grates, this cast iron sear grate, and I hope to try a couple of the other inserts as well. Bravo Weber - job well done (again)!

Grille de haute qualité. Parfait pour notre barbecue weber Master touch. Cuisson au top ! Et indispensable !

I bought this to use after cooking my steak via sous-vide. I placed this grate on top on a charcoal chimney starter and waited for the charcoal to heat up. Ended up with a great crust and perfect grill marks. Easy to clean....after it cools down. ;-)

Súper fantástica deja la carne como si fueran de restaurante
