Grill Small & Delicate Foods with Ease

The Big Green Egg Half-Moon Perforated Cooking Grid makes it easier to grill delicate foods and smaller ingredients that might otherwise fall through a traditional cooking grid. Its nonstick aluminum surface is ideal for seafood, vegetables, and other grilling favorites.

The perforated design allows heat, smoke, and wood-fired flavor to reach the food while keeping smaller ingredients supported. Its half-moon shape also leaves the remaining cooking area available for grilling other foods or creating different cooking zones.

Key Features & Benefits

• Perforated Cooking Surface: Small openings allow heat and smoke to circulate while helping prevent food from falling through the grid.
• Nonstick Aluminum Construction: Helps reduce sticking and makes cleanup easier.
• Half-Moon Design: Use one side for smaller ingredients while leaving the other half available for traditional grilling.
• Heat Resistant: Rated for cooking temperatures up to 450°F (232°C).

What Can You Cook on a Perforated Half-Moon Grid?

This grid is particularly useful when you want direct exposure to heat and smoke without placing delicate or small ingredients directly on an open-bar cooking grid.

• Fish: Supports delicate fillets that might stick to or break apart on traditional grids.
• Shrimp & Scallops: Keeps smaller seafood from slipping between cooking grid bars.
• Vegetables: Great for asparagus, mushrooms, zucchini, peppers, and chopped vegetables.
• Small Appetizers: Useful for bite-sized foods that benefit from direct grilling without falling into the fire.

CGS Cooking Tip: This half-moon grid can also be used in larger ceramic grills when supported by a compatible cooking rack underneath.

Care Tips

• Stay Below 450°F: Do not exceed the manufacturer's maximum temperature rating for the nonstick aluminum grid.
• Use Appropriate Utensils: Avoid sharp metal tools that could scratch or damage the nonstick coating.
• Clean Gently: Allow the grid to cool before washing with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge or cloth.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use steel wool, aggressive grill brushes, or abrasive cleaners on the coated surface.
• Dry Before Storing: Clean and dry the grid thoroughly after use.
