Crafted from hard-anodized aluminum, the grate preserves heat, sheds moisture, and maintains durability for seasons of use while producing clearer sear lines and easier cleanup than cooking directly on the flat top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this grate improve searing on a flat top?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe raised, V-shaped ribs concentrate heat into narrow contact points so protein and vegetables caramelize faster and develop defined grill marks.
