PG525 2-Pack 17 1/4 x 11 3/4 in Porcelain Steel Grill Grates - Durable

In this review the PG525 2-Pack grill grates are judged as a straightforward, heavy-duty replacement for a long list of Weber, Kenmore and Nexgrill models. The reviewer finds the single biggest reason to buy is fit and durability: each cooking grid measures 17 1/4 x 11 3/4 in and the porcelain steel finish gives a robust, easy-to-clean surface that replaced worn factory grates without fuss. The review is written from hands-on use and comparison to original parts and emphasizes measuring the original grate first to ensure compatibility.

Key Features

• Exact size: Each grate is 17 1/4 x 11 3/4 in, making it easy to match to the original grid before ordering.
• Wide compatibility: Designed to fit many Weber Spirit, Genesis and other listed models, reducing the need to hunt for model-specific parts.
• Porcelain steel surface: The plated finish simplifies cleaning and resists food sticking compared with bare steel.
• Durable construction: The solid build gives a heavier, sturdier feel than some stock grates and holds up under frequent use.
• Safety tested: Passed SGS testing to meet or exceed FDA standards, offering reassurance about materials used near food.
• Pack of two: Sold as a 2-pack so users can replace both cooking surfaces at once for a uniform cooking area.

Who It's For

The PG525 set is best for grill owners who need a reliable, fitted replacement for older Weber Spirit E or S series, many Genesis models, or compatible Kenmore and Nexgrill units and who value a heavier, easier-to-clean grate. It suits people who prefer porcelain-plated steel over thin steel rods because of easier maintenance and a solid feel when placing heavy pans or cast iron on the grate.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who require a cast-iron grate for high-heat searing specifically, or anyone whose original grate dimensions or shape do not match 17 1/4 x 11 3/4 in; the maker stresses measuring original parts before ordering to avoid fit issues.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid build and heavier feel that aligns with reports of improved build quality.
• Porcelain steel finish makes cleanup faster and reduces sticking compared with bare metal.
• Broad compatibility with many Weber, Kenmore and Nexgrill model numbers simplifies replacement shopping.
• Passed SGS testing for material safety, offering extra confidence about surface coatings.

Cons

• Some users report rusting over time, so longevity can vary with care and storage despite the plated finish.
• Not a direct substitute for users wanting a cast-iron cooking surface for intense searing performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these grates fit my Weber Spirit E-310?
Yes, the PG525 lists compatibility with Spirit E-310 models from 2007-2017, but confirm your original grate measures 17 1/4 x 11 3/4 in and matches the shape.

Are these cast iron or porcelain steel?
They are porcelain plated steel grates, not cast iron, which makes them lighter and easier to clean but different in searing character.

Do they resist rust?
The porcelain plating improves resistance and passed SGS testing, but some users report rusting over time so proper cleaning and storage are recommended.
