The round grate is used for grilling. The grate is made of metal and its entire surface is chrome-plated, which protects it from high temperatures and direct contact with fire. There are also two small metal stands on the bottom of the grill, which you will appreciate when you use the grill when grilling over a direct fire. This will increase the contact area of the grate with the fire. The grate has no handles and due to its placement directly on the glowing part of the grill or fire, it is necessary to protect your hands when handling it.
