Overview
The Camerons GB01652 is a thin nonstick mat measuring 12 x 12 x 0.2 inches and weighing just 0.1 lb. The near-zero weight means it stores flat in a kitchen drawer and adds almost no bulk to a grill kit. The nonstick surface is the main selling point, releasing cooked food cleanly and making the mat quick to wipe down after use.
At $14.99 it is one of the lowest-priced accessories in the grill topper category. The compact dimensions suit it to single-serve or small-batch cooking rather than feeding a large group. It also works as a reusable liner on outdoor griddles to prevent certain foods from absorbing residual flavors from a well-seasoned surface.
With 214 reviews averaging 4.2 stars, it has a reasonable track record for a product at this price. The rating suggests the majority of buyers find it performs as expected for light-duty grilling tasks.

Performance notes
At 0.2 inches thick and 0.1 lb, this mat is designed for low to medium heat cooking rather than high-heat searing. The nonstick material (listed as Nonstick) releases food cleanly when temperatures stay in the moderate range. Subjecting it to prolonged direct flame at maximum heat settings will reduce the life of the surface faster than moderate use.
What buyers say
At 214 reviews and a 4.2 average, buyer satisfaction is solid for the price category. Most positive feedback highlights how easy it is to clean and how well it protects delicate foods. Lower ratings typically come from buyers who expected a thicker or more durable product.

Frequently asked questions
Can this be used on a charcoal grill?
Yes, it works on charcoal grills as long as the cooking temperature stays within the product's heat tolerance range. Placing it over indirect heat or positioning it away from direct coals gives the best results and longest surface life. Direct contact with hot charcoal embers is not recommended.
How do you clean it after use?
The nonstick surface wipes clean with a damp cloth or paper towel in most cases. For more stubborn residue, a soak in warm soapy water followed by a gentle sponge is usually sufficient. Avoid steel wool or abrasive pads, which will scratch and damage the coating quickly.
