how to clean copper grill mat made of teflon

Is it easy to clean, unlike other copper grill mat i purchased where the mats don't get cleaned and you need to throw the mats. You need to put it in the sink like other dishes and then use soap and water... cleaned like a charm for me.  What happens to these when you might exceed the 600 degree value? Does Teflon component break down? then become toxic and enter food? What happens to these when you might exceed the 600 degree value? What happens to these when you might exceed the 600 degree value? Does Teflon component break down? then become toxic and enter food? Are these easy to clean & how long to they last?  can you use it on a camping stove?

copper grill mat

Hi Terry, I do not recommend using this on a camping stove as it is not intended for direct contact with flame. However, you could put a griddle or pan on the stove and then cut a kona grill mat to fit on top of that. However, you could use it over a campfire (no flame contact) on grates. You want a 7-8" gap from the coals. I definitely would never use aluminum foil directly on a camping stove! It will burn up and puncture leaking whatever it is you are cooking on the stove. Just curious, but PTFE is only non-toxic up to 500 degrees F. At 600 degrees it's questionable to cook food on. Why are you saying 600 degrees?

I believe that if you cook on it after the flames die down, it is below 500 degrees.  will these grill mats fit on State or County park public grills ? That might depend on what state you live in. We use ours on our small home gas grill. It’s no big deal if it would drape a little over the grill edge . an I leave it on the grill and just use heat from grill to clean it off the next time I use it I suppose you could, but don't think I would. Just my opinion. I just remove it from grill, BBQ grill mat it cools quickly, roll it up so it doesn't spill and bring in with the spatula, bowls, etc. and wash them all at the same time. Everything is ready for next time. Sometimes monsters grow on food particles if left till next time.


How long are these suppose to last? i purchased mine in nov 17 and it is falling apart. my bar-b-que does not get up over 600 degrees. I'm not sure. I've used mine only once. The insert states they have a 7-year warranty though.

grill pork tenderloin

The ultimate goal of griling pork tenderloin is mahogany color, crisp appearance, and should be rosy pink. Regional cooking and instant reading thermometers are the two best ways to achieve this. The tenderloin should be cooked between 15 and 20 minutes depending on their thickness, but you want to aim at the inner temperature of 80 ° C to 95 ° C in the thickest part of the loin to ensure it is cooked to temperature.



Ingredients

· 1 Pork tenderloin

· 1/4 cup Lightly packed dark brown sugar

· 1 teaspoon Jewish salt

· 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika

· 1/2 teaspoon Onion powder

· 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder

 Equipment

· Measuring cups and spoons

· Gas or charcoal grill

· Small bowl

· Sharp knife and cutting board

· Instant reading thermometer

step

1. Trim the pork tenderloin. Use a thin, sharp knife to remove any connective tissue (silver skin) and fat from the surface of the spine.

2. Rub. Put salt, sugar, paprika, onion powder and garlic powder in a small bowl.

3. Rub the tenderloin. Spread the spices on the surface of the loin and set aside as you prepare the grill. You can also wrap the loin tightly in the plastic wrap and then refrigerate the chopped pork for 1 hour or refrigerate overnight.

4. Prepare cooking in the BBQ area. For gas grills, heat one side to high or medium heat and leave the other side unlit. For charcoal grills, ignite the coal chimney, stack the coal on one side of the grill and leave the other side empty.

5. Burn the loin for 12 to 15 minutes. Place the loin in a place that is directly heated. Cover and cook, only turn the loin once until the internal temperature reaches 80 ° C to 95 ° C, 5 to 7 minutes on each side. If the tenderloin begins to burn too much, transfer to indirect heating and continue to cook until the correct internal temperature is reached, approximately 18 minutes of total cooking time.


6. Wrap and rest the tenderloin. Remove the grilled tenderloin from the grill and clean the cutting board and loosely lay the tent with aluminum foil. Rest for 10 minutes; the meat will be cooked from the waste heat and the juice will be redistributed for the best flavor.

7. Slice: Cut into thin slices before going to the table.

Recipe note

Do it in advance: the loin can be trimmed and wiped 24 hours in advance. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.
