Yoshi Grill Mat Reviews
Although grilling is a tradition embraced by many, for some it can be a frustrating process. Flareups, food falling through the cracks, and uneven cooking can all contribute to a less than optimal grilling experience. The Yoshi Grill and Bake Mats are said to alleviate those problems and more. The product provides consumers with a 2-sided non-stick cooking surface which can be placed right on the grill. Food is then prepared on the mat, which supposedly cooks it more evenly.
On the plus side, Yoshi Grill and Bake Mats do provide an excellent non-stick surface, and provide a great way to keep food from falling through the grill grates. In the case of vegetables and fish, it performs as expected. It is also nice to have on hand when using a public grill at the park or campground.
We discovered three “cons” associated with the product, which have been largely echoed by other reviewers. First, achieving grill marks is quite difficult as the mat cannot be placed over an open flame. Second, juices from various foods tend to mix and pool together, which is not a desired effect. Finally, the mat is on the small side at 13 x 15.
Users on Amazon give it a somewhat positive 3.5 star rating, which is right about where we feel the rating belongs.

In 2016, a follow-up product was released called Yoshi Copper Grill Mat, which you can see in the review below.
Epic Conclusion
Yoshi Grill and Bake mats are not a comprehensive grilling solution, with the cooking of meat being its weak point. It does, however work quite well with fish or vegetables.
