Overview
Cast iron gives this Vankey grill tool its grip, a 0.33 lb lifter designed to handle hot grates rather than flip food. It carries a 4.5 rating from 683 buyers.
The listing's own attribute data names this as a cast iron lifter rather than the generic grill tool wording in the title, which points to a handle designed for moving hot grates, plates, or lids rather than flipping food. Its light weight at a third of a pound keeps it easy to store alongside other grill accessories.
