I end up taking the reviews from Consumer Reports with a grain of salt most of the time. They are truly a jack of all trades by proffering
a review on many items where they really know very little about what they are doing, thus master of none as the old saying goes.
They may claim to be unbiased, but the bias shows through in their ignorance.
A perfect example of this would be their review of the Prius C, one of the highest mileage cars out there, yet they do not recommend it.
But if you check the forums of the people that actually own one, about 99% would buy it again. Imagine Consumer Reports judging at
the next major comp, just a disaster waiting to happen.
I am discovering (as suggested by an earlier poster) when I like to use grillgrates and when I don't. I am certainly finding, as others suggested in a different thread, the use for them turned over. I am glad I got them.
