I was offered a discount on these ekSel Grill Oven BBQ Mats I purchased the product in exchange for a review.  I took advantage of the bargain, and I glad I did. You get two per box, a black and a brown.  You can use the mats either on the grill or in your oven.  However, the box did not contain instructions.  All was not lost, I used the box for guidance.  I’m a visual person, so this worked for me.

This time of year, BLTs are big in my house.  Summer brings fresh lettuce and tomatoes.  Furthermore, there’s nothing better than fresh ingredients on a BLT.  I stopped cooking my bacon on top of the stove years ago.  Not only because of the grease splatter, but because I think bacon cooks better in the oven.  As a result, I was eager to see if the bacon would crisp the way I like it.  Additionally, I wanted to see how the mat would handle the oil from the bacon.  I decided to use the black mat to prepare my bacon for my BLT in the oven.

Take a look at this bacon.  It looks and tastes delicious.  I prefer Butcher Cut bacon.  It doesn’t shrink, and it’s perfect for sandwiches or anytime.  My granddaughter loves bacon so much, she wants it for a snack.

Furthermore, you can cook chicken, sausages, pork chops and anything else on the mats.  They’re perfect in the oven or on the grill.  I hate using public grills.  This grill mat is the answer to yummy public picnic grills.

Having grill marks on burgers, hot dogs, sausages and chicken are a sign of heaven to a grill master or backyard BBQer.  Being able to get grill marks while using these grill mats is not a problem.  Just as important, not having to use spray or foil on your grates puts the icing on the cake for me.

Personally, I prefer to us a charcoal grill versus gas grills.  If your preference is gas, you will be happy to know that the grill mat can be used in gas or electric oven and on most gas and charcoal grills and smokers.  Be sure to read the manufacturers instructions and recommendations.

Also, the grill mat is dishwasher safe.  Place them in the top rack or you can wash them by hand and just dry them.  You can use the grill up to 100 times before they need to be replaced. Did I mention that you can bake cookies and pizza on them too.  Great gift idea or keep them for yourself.  Just head over and grab a pack or 2 of the ekSel Grill Oven BBQ Mats  You will be happy that you did.

  1. I love it when you find a bargain product and it works a treat – and these look great. I have something similar that soak up the fat in the oven or grill and I’d definitely recommend them. I like the fact that yours are reuseable though – and great news you can put them in the dishwasher!

      Hi Lauretta.  I love these grill mats.  My grill stays clean through out the summer and they’re perfect to use on public grills.  If you like to cook out, give them a try.  Thanks for stopping by.

  2. I’m like you in that I cook my bacon in the oven. Think I may have to check out those mats as even in the oven you are left with a mess to clean up.

      I had the opportunity to use the mat on the grill. It was great being able to get grill marks on the food and not having to clean the grill afterwards. I washed off the mats, dried them and placed them back in the box.  They’re supposed to good for 100 uses.
