Stainless Steel vs Cast Iron Grill Grates Which is the Better Option?

[Harveylovely]

Hey guys, I'm about to purchase a new grill and I'm torn between stainless steel and cast iron grates. What's your take on this?

[Jared]

Hello,. I'd vote for cast iron. It retains heat better than stainless steel and as a result, it gives you these beautiful perfect grill marks.

Interesting,. I've always preferred stainless steel because it's easier to clean and maintain compared to cast iron which requires a bit more care.

[Salma]

I agree, I've been using stainless steel grill grates for years and haven't faced any durability issues.

That's valid,. But, in terms of taste, I find that cast iron grates tend to add more flavor to the food being grilled.

[Murray]

Yes, and also, keep in mind that though cast iron requires a bit of additional care, if maintained properly it can last for generations!
