Have you tried reusable grilling sheets? Similar to baking sheets they are specifically designed for use on the barbecue. For gluten free eaters, and cooks, this is the answer to preventing cross contact anywhere you go. They're the reusable solution to tin foil, don't tear, and can be cut to the sizes you want.
The most exciting part about grilling sheets is that your food still browns and gets the grill marks you want to see. The above vegetables were cooked for this Southwestern grilled pasta recipe and just look at those grill marks. Here are 29 gluten free grilling recipes so get excited!

Benefits of the Reusable Grilling Sheets
Gluten free cooks are always thinking outside the box yet everyone can appreciate these benefits.
- Sturdy, flexible and non-stick.
- The package insert on mine says heat resistant up to 500°F but it has been exposed to higher heat.
- Easy clean up in warm, soapy water.
- Can be cut to any size.
- Ideal for small foods that typically fall through the grill.
- Prevents flare ups.
5 Ways to Use Grilling Sheets
- On your own barbecue.
- When visiting family or friends.
- On public grills in parks and campsites.
- To send to a birthday party with your child's gluten free food.
- To cook gluten-filled buns on your 100% gluten free barbecue. Only gluten free cooks can think like that!
Get The Tools
Look for reusable grilling and cooking sheets and you'll find more. Here's what I found.
- Oven protector sheets to keep the bottom of your oven clean.
- Oven baking sheets are the replacement for parchment paper to bake cookies and more.
- Mine is a Cookina Reusable Grilling Sheet, I have one at home and one at our family cabin.
Organize for Success
Store grilling sheets with your barbecue tools. My sheet has a metal ring to keep it rolled up and it goes right beside the long utensils, always ready for barbecue season. I keep my reusable baking sheet stuck to a baking pan in the cupboard above my oven.
Top Tip
Help avoid cross contact. Give these sheets to family and friends who wouldn't think to buy them. Although tin foil works people also use tin foil for garlic bread, vegetable packets and more. Provide the training up front and help people understand that there are simple solutions to prevent cross contact. With awareness and a willingness to accommodate, this can ease the stress a bit at big gatherings.
