The best grill mats, compared.
Top pick: GQC sheets, about 40 × 30 cm Best value: GQC 6-pack, 40 × 33 cm – About £8.99 with 4.5 from 5,711 reviews, the largest sample here, and a 500°F bullet. The material field and the PTFE bullet disagree. Updated 22.10.2026.
A grill mat on amazon.co.uk is either a thin non-stick sheet on the grate or a larger pad under the barbecue on a deck, patio, or lawn. You buy the sheet so fish, vegetables, and marinades do not fall through the bars. You buy the pad to keep fat and embers off a patio. Cooking sheets here are mostly fibreglass, about 40 × 33 cm. Judge a sheet by a readable temperature line and by reviews that do not describe coating on the food. How to separate the two jobs, and which size to trust, is in the [grill mat buying guide](/hub/grill-accessories/grill-mat/sub/grill-mat-buying-guide). An under-grill pad is a larger fibreglass pad, often with a silicone or similar coating, for drips and radiant heat on a deck, patio, or lawn. A floor pad's stars do not make it a cooking surface. A 40 cm sheet does not protect a patio. Mesh sheets turn up in the UK search and are not in this batch. A silicone side-shelf tool mat is a different product and is not in the kept set.

Question 1 of 2
Where will it sit?
GQC GQCSKD is £10.99. The title says six Teflon mats at 15.75 × 11.8 in, and the size field says 40 × 30 cm. Number of items says 1. A bullet claims 500°F and PFOA-free PTFE-coated fibreglass, while a field says PTFE-free. Dishwasher safe is yes. It shows 4.7 from 459 reviews. UK reviews like the cleaner grate and cutting to size. They also mention thinner sheets that fail, fat on the mat, blocked heat, and throwing sheets away when washing fails.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want 40 × 30 cm sheets for gas, charcoal, or electric and will check the pack count on arrival.
Less suitable: You need the listing to agree how many sheets are in the box.
Specifications
Common questions
How many mats are in the pack?
The title says a set of 6. The number-of-items field says 1 and the unit count says 1.0. Both are in the listing.
Is the dishwasher mark yes?
Yes. The bullet also says dishwasher safe. Some UK reviews still bin sheets when they will not come clean.
What heat figure is printed?
A bullet says up to 500°F. The title says FDA approved. A material-free field says polytetrafluoroethylene free, which conflicts with the Teflon coating line. FDA approved is not a UK declaration.
QH7 model 0-1 is one 180 × 40 cm sheet at £8.79 and 240 g, in fibreglass and PTFE. Dishwasher safe is yes, and a bullet says up to 500°F. The form field says square. It shows 4.6 from 2,091 reviews. UK reviews describe cutting pieces for gas and charcoal grills and less grate cleaning, including a sear-then-sheet method. Other reviews call it stiff or paper thin, say it did not clean well, or threw it away after one use.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want one long sheet to cut for more than one grate or for round barbecues.
Less suitable: You want a thick mat that reviews describe as heavy.
Specifications
Common questions
How big is the sheet?
Item dimensions say 180 × 40 cm and 240 g. The form field says square, which does not match that rectangle. Reviews say they cut it to the grill.
Is it marked dishwasher safe?
Yes. A bullet also says up to 500°F. The title says FDA approved, spelled Aproved. That is a US phrase, not a UK food-contact declaration.
Do reviews say it lasts?
Some UK reviews reuse it and praise a cleaner barbecue. Others call it thin, say food stuck, or binned it after one cook. A 500-use line is seller text.
Lukata SH-PH20-36XT is three sheets at £10.85, listed at 50 × 40 cm and 220 g. The material field says fibreglass, the bullet says Teflon-coated and PFOA-free, and dishwasher safe is yes. It shows 4.6 from 2,080 reviews. UK reviews report less fat in the flame, easy washing, and trimming for a large gas barbecue or a round Cadac. Many of the same reviews are about oven floors. A fan oven can lift a liner slightly. No degree figure is in the captured bullets. It is the top pick here for a sheet larger than 40 × 33 cm, with the limit that the temperature ceiling is not printed.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a larger-than-40 cm sheet for a gas barbecue and may also line an oven.
Less suitable: You need a printed Celsius limit before you buy.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing say it is dishwasher safe?
Yes. UK reviews also say they washed the sheets, including in a dishwasher.
What size is listed?
Item dimensions are 50 × 40 cm, and the pack weight is 220 g. The size field also says with storage band.
Does the seller name a temperature?
Not in the captured bullets. They say Teflon-coated fibreglass, PFOA-free, and non-stick.
Linda's Essentials UGM is a 3-pack at £9.99. The bullet states 41.3 × 58.4 cm fibreglass sheets for gas, charcoal, and electric, and says they can be trimmed. The listing shows 4.6 from 1,642 amazon.co.uk reviews. UK reviews praise a clean grate, dishwasher washing, and coverage on a wide barbecue, including a trimmed Ninja Woodfire pan. The same sample says fat pools, some food boils or loses smoke, and one review found bits of mat on the meat. No degree limit is printed in the captured bullets.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want one large sheet across a wide gas grate and can trim it cold.
Less suitable: You need a printed temperature ceiling, or you want bare-grate char on steaks.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing state a maximum temperature?
No. The captured bullets give the sheet size and a dishwasher mention, and they do not give a degree figure.
Is it marked dishwasher safe?
There is no yes/no field. A bullet says you can put the sheets in the dishwasher, and several UK reviews say they did.
What size does the seller state?
The bullet says 41.3 × 58.4 cm. The technical line 17.78 × 17.78 × 13.21 cm is the package, listed with 250 g.
Ankier's 8-pack is £11.99, PTFE-coated fibreglass, 40 × 33 cm, 350 g. The heat bullet states both −70°C to 260°C and 380°F. Dishwasher safe is marked no. It shows 4.6 from 1,130 reviews. UK reviews praise cleaner grates and fewer flare-ups on gas and charcoal. They also report small coverage, fat collecting on a long cook, hard burnt-on cleaning, slippery fat, and one case of black coating in the food.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want spare 40 × 33 cm sheets and will wash them by hand.
Less suitable: You want a dishwasher cycle or one sheet across a six-burner.
Specifications
Common questions
Can these go in the dishwasher?
The feedback field says no. A bullet still mentions the top shelf of a dishwasher. One UK review says they do not stand up well to dishwashers.
What temperature does the listing state?
The same bullet says continuous use from −70°C to 260°C and up to 380°F. Those ceilings are not the same. 380°F is about 193°C.
What size is the pack?
Eight black sheets at 40 × 33 cm, pack weight 350 g. One review needed two sheets on their barbecue, and another used two on a six-burner.
GQC GQCBBQ01 is six sheets at £8.99. The title size is 15.75 × 13 in, the feedback size is 40 × 33 cm, and the item line is 40 × 32.5 cm at 300 g. Bullets say 0.2 mm PTFE-coated fibreglass up to 500°F. The material field says silicone and fabric. Dishwasher safe is yes. It shows 4.5 from 5,711 reviews, the largest count in this set. UK reviews report cleaner gas grills, sink or dishwasher washing, and use in ovens and air fryers. One review limits life to about four barbecues, and another says knife cuts ruin them. It is the best value when you want a cheap 6-pack and you can live with the material-field clash.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a cheap 6-pack of about 40 × 33 cm sheets for a gas or electric grill.
Less suitable: You need the material field and the bullets to name the same substance.
Specifications
Common questions
What does the listing say they are made of?
The material field says silicone and fabric. The bullets say fibreglass coated with PTFE, 0.2 mm thick. Both are in the listing.
Are they marked dishwasher safe?
Yes. UK reviews mention the sink and the dishwasher. One review says a knife cut ended a previous set.
What heat figure is printed?
A bullet says up to 500°F, and it says FDA approved and PFOA-free. Those are seller lines. FDA approved is not a UK food-contact declaration.
Cookey BBQ0003-C is five 40 × 33 cm sheets at £7.99. The material field says PTFE and a second field says PTFE-free. Dishwasher safe is marked yes. The listing shows 4.5 from 1,771 reviews. UK reviews use them on gas and charcoal grills, in ovens, and folded into a contact grill, and they name fish, halloumi, and eggs. Complaints include food frying in its juices, a hole where charred sausage built up, a sheet stuck to the bars, and a tear in the wash.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want several 40 × 33 cm sheets for a gas grate and an oven tray.
Less suitable: You need one consistent material line, or you cook over bare charcoal flame.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing say the sheets are dishwasher safe?
Yes. The feedback field says dishwasher safe. One UK review says to wash them in the sink instead.
What are they made of?
The material field says polytetrafluoroethylene. A second field says polytetrafluoroethylene free. Both lines are in the listing.
Are they only oven liners?
The title leads with oven liners. The highlight also names gas-grill and charcoal cooking sheets, and UK reviews use them on barbecues.
FIREWESS ZQ-4ET3-FX9T is £17.99. The title says a 75 × 120 cm double-sided pad for under an outdoor grill. A bullet says 24 × 42 inches, 0.02 inches thick, fibreglass, and up to 2000°F. The material field says Kieselerde. Weight is 590 g. It shows 4.4 from 1,327 reviews, many of them not from the UK. UK reviews say it protects imitation lawn under an egg, patios, porcelain, and decking under a pizza oven. They also call it flimsy, small, or thin. It is a floor pad, not a cooking sheet.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a pad under an egg or a kettle on a patio and will measure the space yourself.
Less suitable: You want a cooking sheet, or you need the listing to state one size.
Specifications
Common questions
Do you cook on this pad?
The title says an under-grill mat for decks and patios. One UK review describes laying material on the wire racks. That is a different job from the title.
Which size is printed?
The title says 75 × 120 cm. A bullet says 24 × 42 inches and 0.02 inches thick. Those sizes do not match. Weight is 590 g.
What heat figure does the seller print?
A bullet says up to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. The listing does not attach a UK test report. The material field says Kieselerde and the bullet says fibreglass.
Alckijy GS01 is £12.85. Feedback dimensions are 100 × 150 × 0.5 cm and 950 g, in fibreglass, and a bullet claims 1800°F with a silicone coating. The listing shows 4.1 from 221 reviews. UK reviews say it lies flat, catches patio splashes, and has been used under a fire pit and a kadai. One of those reviews says the grass underneath still burned. A feedback field lists a stainless-steel handle, which does not belong on a mat. It is not a grate sheet.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a large pad under a barbecue on a patio or deck.
Less suitable: You want a cooking sheet, or a guarantee that turf will not scorch.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a sheet you cook food on?
The dimensions are a 100 × 150 cm floor pad. The title also says non-stick grill mats. Treat it as an under-grill pad.
What heat figure does the seller print?
A bullet says up to 1800°F. That figure is the seller's text. The listing does not name a UK test.
What do the UK reviews say about grass?
One review says the mat survived a low, very hot fire pit and the grass underneath still burned. Other reviews mention patio splashes and decking under a kadai.
VinBee model 777 is £18.99. The title says a 122 × 76 cm double-sided pad for deck, patio, lawn, and fire pits. Feedback dimensions say 10 × 10 × 10 mm, and the material line is fibreglass cloth and polypropylene. It shows 3.9 from 63 reviews. UK reviews that like it mention drips, sparks, and decking. Several say the mat melted or the grass underneath still burned, including under a disposable barbecue. It is not a cooking sheet.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a pad under a barbecue on stone or deck and can live with mixed lawn reports.
Less suitable: You want to cook on it, or you need the grass under a fire pit to stay green.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a mat you cook on?
No. The title is a fire-pit and deck protector for under a barbecue, fireplace, or fire pit.
What size should you trust?
The title says 122 × 76 cm. The feedback dimensions say 10 × 10 × 10 mm. Those figures conflict. Weight is 650 g.
Do UK reviews say it saves a lawn?
Not reliably. Reviews include a melted mat, burnt grass under a fire pit, and a lawn that died under a barbecue. Other reviews use it for drips on stone or decking.
Hongmeru HBD-011 is £4.99. The bullet says five black fibreglass liners at 40 × 33 cm and 180 g, up to 260°C, BPA-free, for fan ovens and as gas-grill mats, dishwasher safe, and trim to fit. The number-of-items field says 1. The listing has no star rating and no reviews, so there is no UK review pattern to add. The low shelf price does not make it the best value in this set.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the lowest shelf price in this set and can accept a listing with no reviews here.
Less suitable: You buy from review volume. The listing does not have any.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing say you can trim them?
Yes. A bullet says the five 40 × 33 cm liners can be trimmed for an oven or a grill.
Is there a star rating in the listing?
No. There is no customer-review line and no review text, so the rating and review count are not known from the listing.
What heat figure is printed?
A bullet says up to 260°C (500°F). It also says BPA-free and dishwasher safe. Number of items says 1 while the bullet says five liners.
Scores compare the 11 amazon.co.uk grill mats kept in this set. Prices, stars, and review counts are the listing lines in the category files. There is no laboratory test. Each score starts from the amazon.co.uk star rating, mapped as the rating divided by 5 and then times 70. Review count adds up to 15 points, capped at 2,000 reviews. A small adjustment comes from the UK review sample: a cleaner grate raises it, and coating on the food, tears, or scorched grass lower it. A listing with no review line scores 0. The weights below sum to 100. They describe this set only.
Star rating
70%The amazon.co.uk star line mapped out of 70: the rating divided by 5, then times 70. A 4.6 contributes more than a 3.9. This is the listing score, not a lab test.
Review count
15%Up to 15 points from the amazon.co.uk review count, capped at 2,000 reviews. A line with no reviews contributes nothing, so it cannot lead the table.
UK review theme
15%A small adjustment from the UK review sample. Cleaner grates and easy washing raise it. Coating transfer, tears, holes, and scorched grass lower it. Floor-pad heat bullets are not treated as a test.
Choose the job before the size. A sheet on the grate and a pad under the barbecue are different products, and a fireproof word on a floor pad is still seller text. Prices below are the amazon.co.uk shelf figures in these category files.
A grill mat on amazon.co.uk is one of two products. A cooking sheet is a thin non-stick layer on the bars, mostly PTFE-coated fibreglass, so fish, vegetables, halloumi, and marinades do not fall through. An under-grill pad is a larger fibreglass pad, often with a silicone or similar coating, for drips and radiant heat on a deck, patio, or lawn. Do not mix them. A floor pad's stars do not make it a cooking surface. A 40 cm sheet does not protect a patio.
A 100 cm pad and a 40 cm sheet do different jobs. A floor pad's star rating does not make it a cooking surface, and a small sheet does not protect a patio.
Floor-pad bullets of 1800°F or 2000°F are seller text in these files, not a UK test. VinBee reviews still report melted mats and burnt grass.
Gas grates are the usual fit. Charcoal is only after the flames die down. If a PTFE sheet smokes, stop. A 500-cook bullet is not a counted life test.
Food on the grate, or protection under the barbecue. Do not mix them. Gas grates are the usual fit for a cooking sheet. Charcoal only after the flames die down, and never in the flame. Floor pads are for drips and radiant heat, not for a bowl sitting on turf with no gap. A solid sheet keeps the grate cleaner and blocks some smoke and char. Fat can pool. Mesh sheets are not in this batch.
Use the size you can prove from that listing: about 40 × 33 cm for a section of grate, 41.3 × 58.4 cm on Linda's Essentials, 50 × 40 cm on Lukata, 180 × 40 cm on QH7. Floor pads run from about 75 × 120 cm to 100 × 150 cm. PTFE seller lines cluster at 260°C. Ankier prints both 260°C and 380°F. Dishwasher is yes on Cookey, Lukata, both GQC listings, QH7, and Hongmeru, and no on Ankier. Reviews still describe stained sheets. FDA approved is not a UK food-contact declaration.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You cook on gas and you are tired of scrubbing the bars, and you will accept less char. Lukata is three sheets at about £10.85, listed at 50 × 40 cm, with 4.6 from 2,080 reviews and dishwasher marked yes. The captured bullets do not print a Celsius limit, and many reviews are about oven floors as well as barbecues.
You cook food that falls through the bars. Cookey is five 40 × 33 cm sheets at about £7.99, with 4.5 from 1,771 reviews. UK reviews name fish, halloumi, and eggs, on gas, charcoal, and a contact grill. The material field says PTFE and a second field says PTFE-free. There is no numeric heat limit.
You want fat and embers off porcelain or boards, and you should not expect a thin pad to save artificial grass under a fire pit. FIREWESS is about £17.99, with 4.4 from 1,327 reviews. UK reviews cite patio, porcelain, and decking. The title size and a 24 × 42 in bullet conflict, and 2000°F is seller text.
In this set the top pick is the Lukata 3-pack: about £10.85, listed at 50 × 40 cm, 4.6 from 2,080 reviews, dishwasher marked yes, and the highest score here. The captured bullets do not print a Celsius limit, and many reviews cover oven liners as well as barbecues. The best value is the GQC 6-pack at about £8.99, 4.5 from 5,711 reviews, with a 500°F bullet and dishwasher marked yes. The material field says silicone and fabric while the bullets say PTFE-coated fibreglass. A floor pad is a different product. None of these rows is a lab test.
GQC 6-pack, 40 × 33 cm
About £8.99 with 4.5 from 5,711 reviews, the largest sample here, and a 500°F bullet. The material field and the PTFE bullet disagree.
